In the spirit of deepening the literary connections between Alberta’s two major cities, this new reading series showcases the work and career trajectory of an Edmonton-based writer in conversation with Julie Sedivy. This edition, we are pleased to welcome Theresa Shea (The Shade Tree and The Unfinished Child). Join us for a reading and in-depth conversation in which we’ll explore her treatment of potentially explosive topics—abortion, disability, racial injustice—through a nuanced and intimate lens that acknowledges the complexity of human experience.
