We salute you, Wordfesters (old and new), for bringing such joy to our sold-out show celebrating R.F. Kuang and her highly anticipated novel Katabasis at Central Library on September 14, 2025.

In return for your enthusiasm, we’ve created this Digital Doggie Bag just for you. It includes photos from the show that you can download (scroll down), as well as highlights from the amazing Instagram posts and stories you shared. If you subscribe to our eblast, we’ll let you know when the audio from the show will be posted as part of our Imagine On Air series. AND you’ll be the first to know about other world-changing authors we’re bringing to Calgary.

Thank you to David Kotsibie (@persuasionphoto) for capturing the magic, and to @villageicecream, @dandybrewing, @shelflifebooks, and @peaseblossomsflowers for the special sauce! We are so grateful to HarperCollins Canada for making it possible to connect you with R.F. Kuang.
