Kuang with her highly anticipated novel Katabasis, a dark academia tour de force drenched in magic that author Leigh Bardugo calls “a witty, gory, harrowing ride.” Kuang’s oeuvre (including Babel and Yellowface) has established her as a master of storytelling. This exclusive experience will be hosted by Paula Turcotte. Your exclusive ticket includes a pre-signed deluxe limited-edition copy of Katabasis with a custom Canadian tour stamp. READ MORE

“Bunny & I are a little emotional, Bunny, not only because our book is so very beautiful but because this book is our heart & we can't wait to share it with you!” And Wordfest can't wait to share We Love You, Bunny and its indescribably wondrous creator Mona Awad with her Calgary fans. The New Yorker calls it, “A work of toothsome and fanged intelligence....wickedly hilarious.” We'll be celebrating this prequel/sequel to the 2019 viral sensation Bunny with our version of the Bunny-verse (hosted by Shelley Youngblut). The experience includes an audience Q&A and book signing, fuelled by Shelf Life Books. You can pre-order books by Mona Awad here. We beseech you to watch Mona’s deliciously deranged book announcement here. READ MORE
