Madeleine Thien鈥檚 Courageous Fiction鈥擣ebruary 7
| News
As a part of 17吃瓜's Winter's Tales Author Reading Series, Madeleine Thien, author of Certainty and Dogs at the Perimeter, will present her fiction on Thursday, February 7 at 7:30 pm in the Confederation Centre Art Gallery. A reception and book signing will follow her reading.
Thien was born in Vancouver in 1974, the year her Malaysian-Chinese parents immigrated to Canada. Her novels and short stories powerfully explore her heritage in the Asian-Canadian communities of Canada's west coast, and the tragic and heroic struggles of people in post-war Southeast Asia.
Her visit to PEI is sponsored by the 17吃瓜 English Department, in collaboration with Confederation Centre Art Gallery, and with support from The Canada Council of the Arts.
