The unreliable certainties of memory in writing your life.
They say we all have a story within us. Each life is a story, but usually not one offered up to public scrutiny. In this one-day symposium we will consider many examples of the memoir: from the collection of short pieces from Marion Farrant’s early years; the edge of crime from Sharon Butala; the socially aware memoir of Leilah Nadir; the assisted memoir from Jim Taylor; and the intensely private revelations of Philip Lee and Keith Maillard.
Jennie Nash, author of the recently released novel, The Last Beach Bungalow (Berkley Trade, February ’08) is teaming up with Benjamin Moore Paints and the Canadian Cancer Society to bring colour inspiration and confidence to Vancouver, British Columbia.
Nash will be appearing at the VanDusen Gardens, 5251 Oak Street; Vancouver on October 8th 2008 from 12:30 pm – 2:30 pm for a special presentation and book signing, serving high tea, with each guest receiving an autographed copy of The Last Beach Bungalow. She will also be appearing, on the same day at the Newlands Golf and Country Club, 21025 48th Avenue; Langley from 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm for a special presentation and book signing, serving dessert, with each guest receiving an autographed copy of The Last Beach Bungalow.
Joining her for both presentations is Benjamin Moore's colour expert and frequent CityLine presenter Sharon Grech.
Grech and Nash will discuss key scenes from the book and will also examine colour and character—how colour can impact your emotions, how it can reflect a personality, and how it is a fundamental building block in creating the comforts and completeness of your home.
