Salon Double: Khordoc on Migrant Writing in Quebec
Salon Double: Khordoc on Migrant Writing in Quebec
Catherine Khordoc
Catherine Khordoc, Department of French, will be giving a talk on Wednesday April 3rd, as part of a series entitled Salon Double. Salon Double organizes talks in Montreal, Ottawa and Québec City, on contemporary francophone literature and culture.
In her talk, Khordoc will discuss ‘Migrant Writing’ in Québec. The lecture will question whether the concept of migrant writing in Quebec continues to be a relevant one. Khordoc will focus on the work of authors Kim Thuy (whose first book, Ru, was just recently translated into English) and Dany Laferrière (whose I Am a Japanese Writer is now also available in English).
The talk will be held in an informal setting: the Roast N Brew coffee shop on Rideau Street at the corner of Waller. A lively discussion will follow the lecture.
All are invited to attend!
Roast ‘N Brew Café, 198 Rideau Street
Wednesday, April 3rd, 2013 at 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.
