It’s our Opening Night Extravaganza! Even admid the galaxy of supernova talent at the 30th Anniversary Imaginairium, Miriam Toews shines bright. The author of A Complicated Kindness, Women Talking, and All My Puny Sorrows is back with A Truce That Is Not Peace, a breathtaking memoir of stunning emotional force and electrifying honesty. Raves Nick Hornby (High Fidelity), “Why does Miriam Toews write? A Truce That Is Not Peace answers the question in a hundred ways, all of them original, autobiographical, deeply painful, funny, oblique, confounding—just as those of us who believe her to be one of the greatest living North American writers have come to expect.”
This event is organized in collaboration with the Canada Council for the Arts to celebrate the finalists and winners of the Governor General’s Literary Awards.
