Two Authors, Two Women, Two Flights: Fiction
September 26, 2019 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Two women, each at the top of a flight of stairs. One grips the banister. The other does not. Bringing them together in this conversation are Cary Fagan, author of The Student and Howard Akler, author of Splitsville – two powerful novels set in Toronto – that chronicle the extraordinary changes the city has undergone, and move through time. Join Cary, Howard, and moderator Merilyn Simonds as they seek out the connections, emotions and anxieties that serendipitously link their books.
Bellevue
2:00 – 3:00 pm
Door $22 / $20 Senior
