Round tables, major interviews, talks… Here are our suggestions of the day among the number of activities planned at the Montreal Book Fair this Wednesday.
Published at 8:00 a.m.
Great interview with Isabelle Picard
The ethnologist and author of the series Nish, Isabelle Picard, will talk with Chloé Varin about her first novel for adults, Ice cubes like glass. She will return in particular to the 1960s scoop, which she recounts in her book, drawing inspiration from the history of her family as well as that of many other Aboriginal families who saw theirs scattered across the four corners of the province.
From 3:45 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., at the Agora. The author will also be signing after the meeting, from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
