Eden Mills Writers Festival In Your Own Backyard presents Looking Backward, Looking Forward, a panel with Shani Mootoo, author of Polar Vortex.

Also with Souvankham Thammavongsa and John Elizabeth Stinzi. Moderated by Farzana Doctor.

Navigating the present with one foot in the past, these three new works of fiction explore the dizzying and transformative effect of memory, time, and past experiences on identity and relationships. Join Shani Mootoo, John Elizabeth Stintzi, and Souvankham Thammavongsa as they explore the ways in which their characters build their lives anew, yet are unable to outrun their histories.
