Full Title: A Land of Her Own: Tales of Three Women Authors from Franco-Canadien

Quebec offers a fertile ground for authors of a variety of origins, cultures, and languages who are united by several common factors: transculturation, immigration, identity and alterity, memory, and relationship with French, among others. This talk will present diverse ways that these topics are depicted by three “Francophone” authors from Quebec; Kim Thúy, Ying Chen, and Aki Shimazaki. Participants will be invited to reflect on how the authors’ stories relate to their own thoughts and experiences. The talk will be taking place in the Mississauga Central Library in the Noel Ryan Auditorium at 7:00 P. M. All are welcome to attend.
