About

Join one of Canada’s best and most beloved authors, Thomas King, creator of the Thumps Dreadful Water series, writer non-fiction like Indians on Vacation. In this special event, he discusses his new book Aliens on the Moon: A Novel. The bestselling author takes realism and turns it on its head it when an extraterrestrial presence landing in Canada, turning the mundane lives of small town Ontarians upside down. From interfering with a broken car engine, to being put in an old folks home, it feels like ordinary life will never be the same but what is actually happening? With his trademark acerbic wit, he takes trademark his cast of characters on a merry dance towards revelation- both real and imaginary.

Moderated by Roland Gulliver
