— Friday, September 19
Winnipeg Writers Festival
"Writing Fact, Writing Fiction" panel at the Univeresity of Winnipeg on Friday, Sept 19, 2:30-4:00, at Eckhart-Gramatte Hall. Here's the blurb from our program:
"How do writers negotiate their obligation to historical accuracy when it collides with the demands of story? Today's panellists have all wrestled with that question. Chester Brown's serial comic, a graphic biography of Louis Riel, has been recently published in book form. Margaret Sweatman has located two of her novels in specific historical moments in our local past; Louis Riel appears several times in When Alice Lay Down with Peter. Armin Wiebe's new novel, Tatsea, is set in the 1760s subarctic; his characters and their conflicts emerge partly from history and partly from his imagination. Join these three as they talk about writing history at a slant."
