Literary skirmishes, part 2

Posted by Words At Large Admin on January 23 at 12:00 AM

This week's podcast features audio from three of this year's Canada Reads authors: Mavis Gallant, Paul Quarrington and Timothy Findley.

Here's the second installment of our sneak peek at this year's literary survivor list. Last week we went behind the scenes at Canada Reads to listen to what the contending authors had to say. This week Paul Quarrington jokes about the 'gravitas' inherent in comedy. Mavis Gallant offers her own literary license and a voice from the past brings us Timothy Findley in conversation with Peter Gzowski.
