Alice - Author Reading, Margaret Atwood

We are thrilled to have one of Canada’s most celebrated writers kick off the 2016 Alice Munro Festival of the Short Story on stage at the Blyth Festival. Ms. Atwood will read a selection from her 2014 short story collection Stone Mattress: Nine Wicked Tales. Following the reading Ms. Atwood will be joined onstage by fellow Canadian author Merilyn Simonds for an informal conversation about her work, her take on current events and the world, and some of her many passions. Ms. Atwood will sign books in the lobby immediately following the onstage program. Books will be on sale.
