Will Ferguson & Terry Fallis in conversation
In this second BurlLITFest double bill, bestselling authors and good friends Terry Fallis and Will Ferguson share the stage to talk books, writing, and humour.
From two-time Leacock Medal winner Terry Fallis comes An End in Itself, a slim parable that imagines a world where literature rules and novelists are the new rock stars. One humble writer soon discovers that success can be the strangest fiction of all.
From the Arctic Circle to the mud pools of New Zealand, Will Ferguson has spent a career chasing stories that reveal as much about Canada as they do about the world. Meanwhile, Back in Nokomis brings together his funniest, sharpest, and most surprising adventures for the first time.
With fiction and nonfiction, serious subjects, and plenty of humour in the mix, expect a lively and entertaining conversation between two accomplished Canadian writers.
A Different Drummer Books will be on-site with books for sale and signing after the talk.
Presented in collaboration with Douglas & McIntyre, McClelland & Stewart and A Different Drummer Books
