SUMMARY:Canada Reads with Jamie Chai Yun Liew and Said M’Dahoma
DESCRIPTION:Canada Reads is back! Join Jamie Chai Yun Liew\, author of the shortlisted novel Dandelion\, and chef Saïd M’Dahoma for a thought-provoking conversation leading up to CBC’s Canada Reads. In this intimate exchange\, Saïd and Jamie will “break bread” together over a story that nourishes both the heart and the mind\, weaving through personal narratives\, shared experiences\, and the universal power of food to bring people together. \nKnown as The Pastry Nerd by his 200\,000+ social media followers\, Saïd M’Dahoma chose Dandelion by Jamie Chai Yun Liew as the one book all Canadians should read in 2025. Also the winner of the Jim Wong-Chu Emerging Writers Award\, Dandelion is a deeply affecting novel in which an Asian woman and new mother named Lily traces the journey of her own mother—who disappeared when Lily was eleven—from a small British Columbia mining town to Southeast Asia\, seeking to learn who she really is and where she belongs.  \n“What Dandelion brilliantly does is that it shows that there’s not just one immigrant story\,” M’Dahoma shared on CBC Radio’s Commotion. “There are so many different stories\, so many different dreams and aspirations that immigrants can have when they come… I think it just changes the perspective that some people might have about immigrants and how diverse immigrants can be.” \nHear them in conversation on Monday\, March 3 at the Revue Stage (1601 Johnston St\, Vancouver).  \n\nWe do our best to make our events low-barrier\, accessible experiences for our community. A limited number of accessibly priced tickets are available for purchase. To discuss other ways we can make these events more accessible to you\, please reach out to us at boxoffice@writersfest.bc.ca or 604-681-6330.\nAbout Books & Ideas\nLaunched in January 2025\, Books & Ideas is a new event series from the Vancouver Writers Fest on Granville Island\, home of the Writers Fest’s celebrated annual literary festival. With an intimate theatre venue and a pop-up bar for socializing\, attendees are invited to connect more deeply with other members of the local literary community—and meet the esteemed authors who grace the stage—in a modern space for exchanging ideas.

SUMMARY:Timothy Caulfield: The Certainty Illusion
DESCRIPTION:Telling what’s real from what’s fake should be easy. In today’s world\, that’s far from the case. Bestselling author and Canada Research Chair Timothy Caulfield joins the Vancouver Writers Fest on Thursday\, January 30 to lift the curtain on the forces contributing to our information chaos\, in The Certainty Illusion: What You Don’t Know and Why It Matters. \nCaulfield unpacks why it’s so difficult—sometimes even for experts—to escape the fake\, helping us recognize and combat the forces that threaten to pull us under. This accessible\, actionable deep dive into our misinformation crisis is required reading for anyone seeking the truth. “Celebrities\, charlatans\, and even the science community: nobody is safe from Caulfield’s laser focus on exposing misinformation and those who perpetuate it.” —Abby Langer\, author of Good Food\, Bad Diet. \nCaulfield speaks with  award-winning journalist and author Marsha Lederman about fake news\, and the noble pursuit of truth in science\, academia\, politics\, and life.  \nWe do our best to make our events low-barrier\, accessible experiences for our community. A limited number of accessibly priced tickets are available for purchase.

SUMMARY:Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter
DESCRIPTION:New York Times technology reporters Kate Conger and Ryan Mac headline the first Books & Ideas event with one of the most shocking and defining stories of our time: the $44 billion dollar deal behind Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter—and the seismic political\, social\, and financial fallout that is still rapidly unfolding—masterfully told in Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter. Don’t miss them in conversation with Kathryn Gretsinger. \nThe billionaire entrepreneur and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has become inextricable from the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. In 2022\, Musk made an unsolicited offer to purchase the company for the unimaginable sum of $44 billion dollars. This was followed by a showdown unlike anything in business or media that has come before\, and ended with Musk being sued to close the deal. The richest man on earth now controls one of the most powerful media platforms in the world—but at what price? \nWith unparalleled sources from within and around the company—including exclusive interviews\, unreported documents\, and internal recordings at Twitter following the billionaire’s takeover—Conger and Mac follow the inner workings of the company as Musk lays siege to it\, first from the outside as one of its most vocal users\, and then from within as a contentious and mercurial leader. With Musk now making headlines for his interference in American politics\, this is an essential and timely conversation. “You couldn’t hope for a better ringside seat on the unfolding drama.” —The Guardian \nWe do our best to make our events low-barrier\, accessible experiences for our community. A limited number of accessibly priced tickets are available for purchase.

SUMMARY:Gripping Tales With Linwood Barclay\, Cherie Jones\, and Eddy Boudel Tan
DESCRIPTION:These authors write in different genres but one thing connects them all: their ability to create spellbinding stories. Linwood Barclay is a household favourite for his prolific output of unputdownable thrillers. He returns with Find You First. Cherie Jones’ How the One-Armed Sister Sweeps Her House has earned comparisons to Zadie Smith and Marlon James. The critically acclaimed debut follows four people in Barbados\, each desperate to escape their legacy of violence in a so-called “paradise.” Eddy Boudel Tan’s debut\, After Elias\, cemented him as an author to watch. He returns with The Rebellious Tide\, described as a “propulsive\, unpredictable adventure.” Discover three new works you’ll be recommending as soon as you turn the last page. \nModerated by Rob Wiersema. \n\nPresented in partnership with the BCIT Alumni Association. \nLinwood Barclay (appearing virtually)\nCherie Jones (appearing in-person)\nEddy Boudel Tan (appearing in-person)\nRob Wiersema (appearing in-person)

SUMMARY:Float Like a Butterfly\, Drink  Mint Tea: Alex Wood in Conversation with Charles Demers
DESCRIPTION:Update: This event will feature ASL interpretation! \nAlex Wood doesn’t do things by half.

With humour and candour\, Wood shares the deep shame of addiction\, and how he began to overcome it in order to survive. They say that humour is the best medicine. This conversation between two of the funniest folks in Vancouver is sure to offer entertaining insights into banishing one’s demons.

SUMMARY:Short Stories\, Great Tales with Norma Dunning\, Alix Ohlin\, and Casey Plett
DESCRIPTION:The short story: the hardest narrative to craft and an often-underrated form\, it’s one of the Festival’s favourite areas to explore in events. Rediscover the beauty of these slim delights with an event exploring the crafting behind them. Norma Dunning draws on both lived experience and cultural memory to weave six new short stories centred on modern-day Inuk characters in Tainna; The Unseen Ones. Two-time Scotiabank Giller Prize Finalist\, Alix Ohlin is incapable of writing a story that’s anything other than a masterclass in craft. We Want What We Want is populated by bad parents and inescapable old flames. Lambda Literary Award winner Casey Plett’s collection\, A Dream of a Woman\, is one of the most anticipated books of the season. Her work buzzes with quiet intensity and intimate complexities as Plett centers transgender women seeking stable\, adult lives. \n\n\n\n\nModerated by Bill Richardson.

SUMMARY:Journeys For Home: One-to-One with  Kamal Al-Solaylee and Marcello Di Cintio
DESCRIPTION:Our headlines underscore the geopolitical forces that shape these tumultuous times\, but too infrequently do we hear from voices whose lives and homes are impacted by such pressures. Two exceptional journalists and authors share such stories—and discuss their motivation to seek them out. Kamal Al-Solaylee’s Return: Why We Go Back to Where We Come From includes conversations with dozens of people like himself who have chosen to—or long to—return to their homelands. Driven\, by Marcello Di Cintio\, shares conversations with taxi drivers\, their backgrounds ranging from the Iraqi National Guard\, to the Westboro Baptist Church\, to an arranged marriage that left one woman stranded in a foreign country with nothing but a suitcase. There are thousands of unknown stories around us. By hearing them\, we see the world in a new light. \n\nPresented in partnership with SFU Library.

SUMMARY:What Strange Paradise: Omar El Akkad in Conversation with Mark Medley
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT\nOmar El Akkad’s masterpiece\, American War\, captivated readers with its eerie possibility; the brutality of war in the near future when the United States is once again divided in bloodshed\, this time about fossil fuels. His follow up\, What Strange Paradise\, is equally prescient: a devastating yet beautiful story of two children against the backdrop of the refugee crisis\, and the dehumanization of those who must flee home. The New York Times has said it “deserves to be an instant classic.” El Akkad’s writing is both fortune-telling dystopia and precise cultural criticism; a necessary writer who probes our humanity. He speaks with Globe and Mail editor\, Mark Medley\, about his work and the future.

SUMMARY:The Winter Wives: Linden MacIntyre in Conversation with David Ebner
DESCRIPTION:Bestselling\, award-winning author\, journalist\, and broadcaster Linden MacIntyre is invited to our Festival year after year. Not only because he’s in popular demand from our audience\, but also because every event proves to be a captivating conversation about storytelling and what makes us human.

Two old friends couldn’t be more different—Allan is a successful and wealthy sportsman; Byron lives at home caring for his ill mother and has a disability resulting from a childhood illness. The fault lines between them start to show. But when Allan suffers a stroke\, both friends are forced to confront their weaknesses and strengths\, and the tangles of their relationship. \n\nUpdated: Please note that the venue for this event has been updated\, and will take place at Revue Stage.
