Books & Ideas: Yann Martel

Yann Martel’s 2001 philosophical adventure, Life of Pi, was a runaway global phenomenon—it won the Booker Prize and CBC’s Canada Reads, spent more than a year on the New York Times bestseller list, and was adapted to an Oscar-winning film and a Tony-winning play. The Canadian author continued to achieve success with Beatrice and Virgil, The High Mountains of Portugal, and now, his highly anticipated fifth novel: Son of Nobody.

Don’t miss Yann Martel in Vancouver for one night only at the Lindsay Family Stage (formerly known as the Granville Island Stage), in conversation with award-winning writer and educator Aislinn Hunter, whose most recent book is the bestselling novel The Certainties. Books will be for sale at the event from Book Warehouse, a division of Black Bond Books, with an audience Q+A and book signing after the talk.
