In Korea, a woman kills a stranger and her life is transformed. In Thailand, another woman kills a friend and her life is transformed. Come to this utterly gripping session featuring Ann Y.K. Choi speaking about All Things Under the Moon and David Bergen discussing Days of Feasting and Rejoicing. Former CBC host and devoted reader Ted Blades will bring us through the twists and turns of the two labyrinths.
DAVID BERGEN Praised by the Montreal Gazette as “one of Canada’s best writers” and by The Globe and Mail as “brilliant and utterly convincing,” David Bergen is the bestselling author of twelve novels and two collections of short fiction, and well-known as a writer “operating at the highest level of his craft.” Among his most acclaimed works are The Time in Between, a national bestseller; The Age of Hope, a finalist for Canada Reads; and Out of Mind, a follow up to The Matter with Morris. He has won the McNally Robinson Book of the Year five times, and his writing has also been shortlisted for the Governor General’s Award for Fiction, the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, and a Pushcart Prize. In 2018 Bergen was presented with the Writer’s Trust Matt Cohen Award: In Celebration of a Writing Live. He lives in Winnipeg.
ANN Y.K. CHOI, originally from Chung-Ju, South Korea, is a Toronto-based author and educator. Her novel, Kay’s Lucky Coin Variety, was shortlisted for the Toronto Book Award. In 2017, Choi was honoured by the Korean Canadian Heritage Awards committee and awarded with the Culture Award for promoting Korean heritage within Canada. Choi currently serves on the program advisory committee for gritLIT, Hamilton’s literary festival, mentors emerging writers in a group she founded called Writers in Trees, and teaches Creative Writing at the University of Toronto, School of Continuing Studies. Her second novel All Things Under the Moon was published in 2025.
