The Hot Ticket starring Patrick deWitt & Charlotte Gill

While the connection between Patrick deWitt’s novel The Librarianist and Charlotte Gill’s memoir Almost Brown might not be immediately apparent, just give these unpredictably insightful authors two microphones, 75 minutes, and the opportunity to continue vibing where they left off when they were paired together at Wordfest in 2015. Both books were published simultaneously in Canadian and the U.S., proving that intelligent, fresh takes on identity and isolation know no borders. 

This event is part of Wordfest’s Imaginairium festival, Oct. 11-15, 2023. Connect with 50+ the world’s most arresting writers, thinkers, activators and inspirers, gathered just for you in Calgary, Canada. For more info: wordfest.com
