THIN AIR: Afternoon Book Chats

In-Person

Join us for Afternoon Book Chats as part of the THIN AIR Winnipeg International Writers Festival. Drop in for an hour of fascinating conversation with pairs of writers from this year's festival line-up, September 26 - October 12.

UPDATE: In place of Conor Kerr, Michelle Porter with A Grandmother Begins the Story will be speaking.
