SUMMARY:Caroline Adderson at Winnipeg Thin Air Festival: Afternoon Book Chat
DESCRIPTION:Join Caroline Adderson\, author of the Giller-longlisted collection A Way to Be Happy (Sep 10\, 2024) at the Winnipeg Thin Air Festival! Caroline will be joined by fellow author Shashi Bhat for an afternoon book chat\, discussing and reading from their recent releases. \nThe event will take place at the Bill & Helen Norrie Library on Wednesday\, September 25 at 1:30PM. Books will be available for sale and signing. \nMore details here. \nGrab A Way to Be Happy here! \nABOUT A WAY TO BE HAPPY \nLonglisted for the 2024 Giller Prize \nShort stories about disparate characters consider what it means to find happiness. \nOn New Year’s Eve\, a pair of addicts robs a string of high-end parties in order to fund their own recovery. A recently separated woman relocates to a small northern town\, where she receives a life-changing visitation\, and a Russian hitman\, suffering from a mysterious lung ailment\, retrieves long-buried memories of his past. In the nineteenth century\, a disparate group of women coalesce in the attempt to aid a young girl in her escape from a hospital for the insane. These are but some of the remarkable characters who populate these stories\, all of them grappling with conflicts ranging from mundane to extraordinary. Caroline Adderson’s A Way to Be Happy considers what it means to find happiness—and how often it comes through the grace of others. \nABOUT CAROLINE ADDERSON \nCaroline Adderson is the author of five novels (A Russian Sister\, Ellen in Pieces\, The Sky Is Falling\, Sitting Practice\, and A History of Forgetting)\, two previous collections of short stories (Pleased to Meet You and Bad Imaginings)\, as well as many books for young readers.
