Thank you to HarperCollins Canada for supporting Barbara Kingsolver’s appearance in Vancouver, and our Community Partner: Vancouver Academy of Music.
Barbara Kingsolver’s bestselling works of fiction—including The Poisonwood Bible, Demon Copperhead, and The Lacuna—have earned her a devoted readership around the world. Kingsolver joins us with her new instant classic, Partita, in conversation with award-winning journalist and author Marsha Lederman.
A promising, former music conservatory student has made peace with her marriage and modest livelihood, when a shocking phone call from an old lover shakes her to the core. With razor-sharp acuity and deep affection, Partita reflects on class barriers, the risks of ambition, and what might be the greatest romance of all: our eternal human longing for art and beauty.
Kingsolver herself is a pianist and music lover, and this captivating event will be uplifted by piano pieces performed by Allen Ding, an award-winning pianist and student at the Vancouver Academy of Music. Celebrate the opening of the 39th annual Vancouver Writers Fest at an evening of brilliant art, music, and conversation.
