SUMMARY:Ben McNally Books and Brunch: In Her Voice Festival
DESCRIPTION:This Brunch is a part of the In Her Voice Festival. \nWhen: \nSunday\, June 2\, 10:00 am \nWhere: \nKing Edward Hotel\, 37 King St E. \nBrunch is served in the Vanity Fair Ballroom on the second floor of the King Edward Hotel. \nTickets are $60.00 each (taxes included) and must be purchased in advance. \nTickets are non-refundable. \nPlease call us at 416.361.0032 with your credit card information to reserve tickets. \nOr\, you can purchase tickets online through Eventbrite. \n\n Dual Citizens by Alix Ohlin \nHouse of Anansi Press \n\n \nAll her life\, Lark Brossard has felt invisible\, overshadowed by the people around her: first by her temperamental mother\, Marianne; then by her sister\, Robin\, a brilliantly talented pianist as wild as the animals she loves; and finally by Lawrence Wheelock\, a renowned filmmaker who is both Lark’s employer and her occasional lover. When Wheelock denies her what she longs for most — a child — Lark is forced to re-examine a life marked by unrealized ambitions and thwarted desires. As she takes charge of her destiny\, Lark comes to rely on Robin in ways she never could have imagined.\nIn this meditation on motherhood\, sisterhood\, desire\, and self-knowledge\, Alix Ohlin traces the rich and complex path towards fulfillment as an artist and a human being. \n\n A Good Wife by Samra Zafar \nHarperCollins \n\n \nShe faced years of abuse after arriving in Canada as a teenage bride in a hastily arranged marriage\, but nothing could stop Samra Zafar from pursuing her dreams. A Good Wife tells her harrowing and inspiring story\, following her from a young girl with big dreams\, through finding strength in the face of oppression and then finally battling through to empowerment. \n\nBefore I Was a Critic I Was a Human Being by Amy Fung \nBook*hug \n\n \nBefore I Was a Critic I Was a Human Being is the debut collection of creative nonfiction essays by Amy Fung. In it\, Fung takes a closer examination at Canada’s mythologies of multiculturalism\, settler colonialism\, and identity through the lens of a national art critic.Following the tangents of a foreign-born perspective and the complexities and complicities in participating in ongoing acts of colonial violence\, the book as a whole takes the form of a very long land acknowledgement. Taken individually\, each essay roots itself in the learning and unlearning process of a first generation settler immigrant as she unfurls each region’s sense of place and identity. \n\n Dirty Work by Anna Maxymiw \nMcClelland & Stewart \n\n \n  \nWarm\, funny\, vulnerable\, and wise\, Dirty Work offers a singular perspective on the age-old impulse to leave familiar surroundings behind. This memoir is for anyone who has ever felt the urge to test themselves and wondered how they’d fare and who they’d be when they come out on the other side. \n000000
