I’m thrilled to be moderating what I expect will be a powerful, funny and riveting panel on the short story for this year’s Vancouver’s Writer’s Festival, with renowned writers Jonathan Lethem, Andre Alexis and Curtis Sittenfeld. Here is the description from this year’s program. I hope you can join us! You can connect to buy tickets through this link.

Three luminaries of contemporary literature grace our stage with their new short story collections that brilliantly reflect the tensions and foibles of our modern lives. Hear from three acclaimed authors at the height of their powers: André Alexis (Other Worlds), Curtis Sittenfeld (Show Don’t Tell), and Jonathan Lethem (A Different Kind of Tension). Moderated by Shaena Lambert.
