FreeThe Past and the Now: Melissa Lucashenko in Conversation
Spanning the 1800s to 2024, Melissa Lucashenko’s recent novel Edenglassie weaves together the lives of colonial-era and contemporary characters. Moving deftly from heartwarming and hilarious to harrowing, what shines through most is the incorporation of First Nations language, spirituality, and ritual. Melissa speaks with Keri Glastonbury about the lovable cast of characters, who grapple with family, culture, activism, and accountability across timelines.
This is a free event; no bookings required.
