Liquidity Winery in Okanagan Falls is adding to its lineup of artistic experiences, with a new event called Wine & Words.
In partnership with the Vancouver Writers Fest you will have the opportunity to spend time in an intimate winery setting with some of the world’s best literary talents, beginning with acclaimed authors Esi Edugyan & Steven Price.
Esi Edugyan has twice won the Scotiabank Giller Prize for her novels Washington Black (2018) and Half Blood Blues (2011). Both novels were also shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. Her debut novel, written when she was 25, The Second Life of Samuel Tyne, was published internationally. In 2014, she published her first book of non-fiction, Dreaming of Elsewhere: Observations on Home.
Steven Price is the author of three novels, Lampedusa (forthcoming August, 2019), By Gaslight (2016), longlisted for the Scotiabank Giller Prize, and Into That Darkness (2011). Also an acclaimed poet, he has written two award-winning poetry books, Anatomy of Keys (2006), winner of the Gerald Lampert Award, and Omens in the Year of the Ox (2012), winner of the ReLit Award.
The event will be held July 27th at 3:00 pm in the Winery Building, with tickets costing $30 per person, and that price also includes one of the authors’ books, as well as special offers from Liquidity & Vancouver’s Writers Fest.
