At the heart of David Adams Richards’ fiction are the residents of the rural Miramichi region. He perceives his characters as inhabiting the soil of the New Brunswick town—“like the trees”—and although he experienced an uprooting after his relocation to Toronto, Richards found he was able to write about the home he loved regardless of where he lived. His latest novel, Incidents in the Life of Markus Paul, transports readers back to the small, tight-knit community, in a tale about truth, lies and justice that is quintessential Richards. Don’t miss out on an evening with this Giller Prize winner, whom Alistair MacLeod considers “one of the exceptional writers of our time.”
