The post Against the Grain: In Conversation appeared first on Afterwords Literary Festival.

]]> It didn’t take much persuasion for us to invite Terry O’Reilly to bring his latest book to town. Against the Grain: Defiant Giants Who Changed the World is about those who pushed for change, defied convention, risked ridicule, and otherwise challenged the status quo—sometimes at great sacrifice, but always in ways that changed the game. Presented by the University of King’s College.

Advance tickets are now sold out for this event. There MAY be a few tickets left at the door on the night of the event.

For many writers, pain is both a fact of life, and a subject of art. Gabrielle Drolet (Look Ma, No Hands) and Claire Cameron (How to Survive a Bear Attack) join festival co-founder Stephanie Domet to talk about pain, and how it works in, alongside, and against art.
