In Conversation with Ruth Ozeki
About this Event
What happens when Ruth Ozeki—novelist, film-maker, memoirist, and Zen Buddhist priest—turns her focus to short stories? Her new book The Typing Lady has won stellar reviews, with her “atmospheric tales that radiate with intelligence and wit” (Publishers’ Weekly). Join Booker Prize finalist Ruth Ozeki, and award-winning novelist and short story writer Shaena Lambert, as they explore the electricity of the short form, its constant lure for novelists, and how stories can dive deeply into the most difficult questions of today, surfacing with joy and humour. This is an exploration of craft, politics, metafiction, the writing life—and the powerful Zen of Ruth Ozeki’s unique writing and process.
