Over the past month we’ve been listing our favourite books in celebration of our upcoming eighth anniversary taking place this Wednesday. For those of us who took part, it was a challenging process to pick only eight titles among the many we’ve read. The selections, thoughtfully put forth, represent unique voices telling diverse stories. But how did these books come to be? Behind each one is an untold journey of creative process. This Wednesday, guest speaker Heidi Reimer addresses this topic in her talk, “How to Write a Novel in 10 Years: Total Rewrites, Massive Scrap Piles, and Persistence Through the Long Haul.”
Heidi also stopped by our blog to share her top eight reads:
Middlemarch: George Eliot
State of Wonder: Ann Patchett
The Poisonwood Bible: Barbara Kingsolver
Americanah: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Clara Callan: Richard B. Wright
Unless: Carol Shields
American Wife: Curtis Sittenfeld
Wild: Cheryl Strayed
We hope you’ll join us this Wednesday to celebrate eight years of our literary series. With prizes, treats, and lively discussions, it’s an event not to be missed!
