David

Canadian history has no shortage of underexposed dramatic tales featuring captivating, complex characters. But Canadian literature boasts but a handful of genuinely dynamic renderings of these events. Why did the historical novel become a place where our country’s real life adventures go to whither and die? And how can we reverse this trend? At the launch of his latest novel, David (Thomas Allen Publishers), noted author Ray Robertson will crack open these Can Lit chestnuts with Steven W. Beattie, Review Editor at Quill and Quire. Bidiniband will perform a live set based on their acclaimed debut album, This Land Is Wild.
