Internationally acclaimed author Camilla Gibb will be reading from her work this Thursday, October 13th at 8pm in the lounge at the Alumni Memorial Building on the UNB campus. In her most recent work, the memoir This is Happy, Gibbs confronts the broken relationships, broken family, and broken people of her past, transforming her grief into a new kind of happiness of her own making. This is Happy was shortlisted for the 2016 RBC Taylor Prize.
Gibb is the author of four novels: Mouthing the Words (2000 Toronto Book Awards winner), The Petty Details of So-and-So’s Life, Sweetness in the Belly (2005 Trillium Award winner, shortlisted for the Scotiabank Giller Prize), and The Beauty of Humanity Movement.
This event is presented by the UNB Department of English, the UNB Bookstore, The Fiddlehead, and the Canada Council for the Arts.
