90. Women's Voices from Europe

Here is a rare opportunity to hear from three influential, contemporary European writers, all on one Vancouver stage. Award-winning Estonian writer and poet Carolina Pihelgas shares her first work to be translated into English; The Cut Line follows a woman who flees to the countryside to put an end to her toxic 14-year relationship, and comes face to face with the dread of climate change. The Long Version, by renowned Czech author Petra Hůlová, explores the shifting meanings of feminism over generations as a woman and her daughter clash over an incident from the past. Camille de Peretti joins us from France with Portrait of an Unknown Woman, a dazzling reimagining of the life of Gustav Klimt’s model in one of his most iconic paintings. The writers will discuss their stunning novels, other work in translation emerging from Europe, and female empowerment today. Moderated by Anna Ling Kaye.  

 Presented in partnership with Alliance Française Vancouver. Camille de Peretti's appearance presented with the generous support of the Institut français du Canada.
