Join us for the second installment of the round table discussion, Men with Pens. This year, the panel features authors Stephen Kelman, Joshua Knelman, Timothy Taylor and Andrew Westoll, moderated by Bert Archer.
Stephen Kelman presents his debut novel Pigeon English, a spellbinding portrayal of a Ghanaian boy in London balancing on the edge of manhood and of the forces around him that try to shape the way he lives.
After immersing himself in the mysterious world of international art theft for four years, Joshua Knelman presents Hot Art, a fast-paced true-crime story exploring the seedy-underbelly he became so familiar with.
Timothy Taylor’s latest novel, The Blue Light Project, tracks three days in the life of an unnamed North American city gripped by a hostage taking in a television studio in the center of town.
Andrew Westoll’s The Chimps of Fauna Sanctuary is the true story of a remarkable family of chimpanzees who spent decades as test subjects in a biomedical research lab, and who are now slowly recovering in an animal sanctuary near Montreal.
