The Koffler’s Books & Ideas series is thrilled to present bestselling author, Catherine Bush, in an online conversation with award-winning, Montreal-based writer, Saleema Nawaz.
Catherine Bush’s Blaze Island is “a beautiful, far-seeing, and fiercely intelligent novel,” writes author Claudia Dey, “about the most critical question of our time: the weather systems that threaten to collapse us both from outside and from within.” The novel asks how far a parent will go to create a safe world for a child and what the children of today will need to do in order to imagine a future for themselves.
In an online conversation with award-winning, Montreal-based writer, Saleema Nawaz, both writers will speak about their timely novels, Blaze Island and Songs for the End of the World, which incorporate largely-realistic fictional narratives to reimagine the contemporary global threats of climate change and pandemic.
