About this event
What happens when a nation loses the infrastructure that sustains its stories? Author and media executive Richard Stursberg addresses this decline in his sweeping new book, Lament for a Literature. Stursberg traces how English Canada’s confident literary culture emerged, flourished, and steadily eroded through policy failures and foreign ownership. He is joined on stage by Dan Wells from Biblioasis who offers the publisher’s perspective on the ever-changing landscape of the Canadian book business.
