Reading and Conversation
Annie Proulx and Emma Donoghue
with Eric Friesen
Join Pulitzer Prize, PEN/Faulkner Prize, and O. Henry award winner, American journalist and author Annie Proulx, and Man Booker Prize finalist, Irish-Canadian novelist Emma Donoghue for an unforgettable evening of conversation between two of the world’s most acclaimed writers. Annie Proulx’s bestselling historical novel Barkskins is a tour de force, a recounting, through the history of two families, the colonization of the New World by Europeans that will have significant and devastating effects on this untouched and abundant world, and on the people who already live there. Emma Donoghue, who wowed critics, readers, and movie-goers with Room, follows up with the brilliant The Wonder, an historical novel about a young girl in Victorian Ireland who apparently needs no food to survive, that tackles ethical themes that are timeless and hard-hitting. Annie and Emma share relaxed, living-room style conversation with master interviewer Eric Friesen.
