MONTREAL: ONCE AND FUTURE CITY OF REFUGE

60min | english

Writers from the world over—including the U.S—have found sanctuary in Montreal, and their fiction reflects this. Writers Ehab Lotayef (Crossing Gibraltar, To Love a Palestinian Woman), Cora Siré (Behold Things Beautiful, The Other Oscar), Su Sokol (Cycling to Asylum) and Caroline Vu (Palawan Story, That Summer in Provincetown) discuss the image of Montreal in literature as a city of refuge: past, present and future.

Adult, Who’s afraid of the past ? Who’s afraid of the future ? | History

participants Ehab Lotayef, Cora Siré, Su Sokol, Caroline Vu
