This discussion was recorded live in Quebec City at the Maison de la littérature on November 15, 2024.
How does the Contemporary indigenous fiction explore and illuminate Indigenous cultures, sustain and expand Indigenous story and history, and offer glimpses to Indigenous futures? Why do so many contemporary Indigenous novels burst through the usual boundaries of genre in fiction? What role does hope play in the work of writing?
