We Mean This Literally

With so many great authors and events to choose from, Wordfest
can be overwhelming for bookworms like us. Here’s three not-to-be-missed
readings we’ve penciled into our Moleskine calendars.

Cures for Hunger with Deni Y. Bechard

Hosted by Globe & Mail Western Editor, Shelley Youngblut this
noon-hour talk with prizewinning author Deni Y. Bechard discusses how
family history can influence personal identity.

Northwords with Noah Richler

Take in the Calgary premier of the film Northwords, which
chronicles the journey of five contemporary Canadian writers taking an
artistic expedition to North Labrador. Journalist Shelagh Rogers joins
Noah Richler for this discussion after the film.

Nora Young with Jay Ingram

We look forward to the lively conversation between CBC Radios Nora Young
and former Daily Planet host Jay Ingram. The hot topic: how
technology has changed the way we observe the world.
