Oct. 18-20, Calgary: Wordfest’s ImaginAIRium
Wordfest invited me to Calgary for a continuing celebration of the written word. An event on Friday had a talk-show format with a host, guests, and accompaniment by the Rembetika Hipsters. On Saturday, I gave a grammar workshop with my first successful use of slides (it takes not just a village but an entire city). And on Sunday I was interviewed about Greek to Me in the skylit reading room of the new central library by the writer Marina Endicott, whose wonderful novel The Difference will be published (possibly under a different title) next year by W. W. Norton. Details (E. Jean Carroll, Banff, freight trains), photos, and impressions of Calgary to come as soon as I have recovered.
