Description
Did you hear that? It's cheers at the news that Tayari Jones is coming to Calgary on her North American tour, gifting us the rare opportunity to celebrate Kin, one of 2026's most anticipated new novels. How, we wondered, could Jones top An American Marriage, her 2019 international bestseller? Well, she's done it with Kin, which Ann Patchett calls "the kind of all-encompassing reading experience I’m always hoping to find: smart and funny and deftly profound."
Wordfest showcases the world’s most intriguing authors (in every genre!) from January through December. For more information about this show and others coming to Calgary this season, visit wordfest.com.
