"Find Your Frequency": When stutterers and their allies embrace unique speech patterns, it's a way of questioning dominant cultural messages around fluency and disfluency. In this celebration of our most unusual frequencies, Daniel Allen Cox, author of I Felt the End Before It Came: Memoirs of a Queer Ex-Jehovah’s Witness talks about discarding the ideas of a perfection-seeking religious group, finding his voice as a writer, and otherwise jamming the signal.

VICTORIA, October 14: Victoria Festival of Authors (online)

Join four authors of literary and creative non-fiction as they read from their work and discuss the ethical and other challenges of writing in this genre – challenges that might be described as facing the consequences of writing not what, but who you know: yourself, your family, loved ones, friends, acquaintances, and so on. What’s at stake in trying to write the non-fictional truth about yourself or those close to you? Can it even be done, truthfully and ethically? Can you even know or try to anticipate what someone who becomes a “character” in your story will be troubled by or object to? And what if they are troubled or do indeed object? Where does your responsibility as a writer and as a person lie? If something is legally permissible, is it therefore morally permissible in creative non-fiction?

Curated by The Malahat Review and moderated by Iain Higgins. This Zoom Webinar will be captioned.

Saturday, October14, 2023 4:00 PM - 5:15 PM EDT
