An event featuring Sudbury author Waubgeshig Rice and his new book “Moon of the Turning Leaves” is being hosted by Wordstock Sudbury Literary Festival Oct. 16.
Rice will be discussing his book with local CBC Radio host Jonathan Pinto.
The evening promises to be an engaging conversation about writing the sequel to the breakout national bestselling novel “Moon of the Crusted Snow” (2018).
It won the 2019 OLA Forest of Reading Evergreen Award and was shortlisted for the 2019 John W. Campbell Memorial Award as well as the 2019/20 First Nation Communities READ Indigenous Literature Award.
Copies of Rice's books will be available for purchase. A book signing will follow the event.
"Waubgeshig Rice is a unique storyteller who has captured the attention and imagination of readers across this country,” said Wordstock festival director Heather Campbell, in a press release.
“He has been a good friend to the festival over the years and we are delighted to present a special evening with him in Sudbury as he heads off on his whirlwind book tour.”
The event takes place starting at 7 p.m. Oct. 16 at the Place des arts venue in downtown Sudbury.
General admission is $20, and admission with a book included is $40. Tickets can be purchased online through the Wordstock Sudbury website at wordstocksudbury.ca.
