Wordfest presents Chris Kraus

We've been trying to entice Chris Kraus to Calgary for a decade. And we're not alone in our excitement about her new book, The Four Spent The Day Together, which The New Yorker describes as "reinventing the true crime novel." Rachel Kushner, Rick Moody, and Eileen Myles added their praise. Writes Colm Toibin, "This is a novel of the American moment by a writer whose antennae are attuned to subtle connections and strange crosscurrents."

The conversation, hosted by Wordfest's Creative Ringleader Shelley Youngblut, will include an audience Q&A and book signing, fuelled by Shelf Life Books (pre-order The Four Spent The Day Together here for pickup at the show).
