DAVID HOMEL A DISCUSSION WITH ONE OF QUEBEC’S LEADING AUTHORS

David Homel will present the writer's life and pique our interests with a few short readings that will illustrate how he builds novels. He will talk about his fiction for adults, younger readers (7 - 12 yrs. old) and non-fiction, including personal essay, memoir, journalism and documentary film. In presenting his future projects, he will address what writers work on as they age and how to stay in the game.

About David: David Homel was born in Chicago, a place he left in 1970. After living in France and Toronto, he settled in Montreal in the early 1980s, where he has worked as a novelist, essay writer, journalist, filmmaker, literary translator, editor, and teacher. He has published 16 books, including 5 for younger readers with Marie-Louise Gay. He has won a number of prizes for his writing, translations and films. His most recent work is a collection of essays called How Did I Get Here? A Writer's Education. He is currently working on a new book.
