What do writers like to read?
The Royal City Literary Arts Society is exploring that question in its ongoing reading series In Their Words – in which writers present the work of one of their favourite authors.
The next In Their Words session is on Thursday, May 16 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Anvil Centre, 777 Columbia St., hosted by Ruth Kozak.
It will feature Eileen Kernaghan reading the work of English novelist Kate Atkinson, Lara Varesi reading the work of novelist-poet-essayist Michael Ondaatje, and Kagan Goh reading the work of Goh Poh Seng – his father, a Singaporean literary pioneer, poet, novelist and playwright.
Each presenter includes commentary about their chosen author and talks about what it is they love about that person’s work. The sessions are always free. Check out www.rclas.com for more details – or just drop in to check it out for yourself.
