Quebec City author Louisa Blair reads from her book The Calf with Two Heads: Transatlantic Natural History in the Canadas at a launch event in Montreal for the spring 2024 issue of the Montreal Review of Books and the 2024 Blue Metropolis International Literary Festival, a longstanding celebration of English and multilingual literature in Quebec. This year’s festival will run from April 25-28, 2024. While in-person events will primarily take place at the Hôtel 10 in downtown Montreal, a range of online events are also scheduled, including a French-language interview with Wendat author Jean Sioui and an English- language conversation between acclaimed Canadian author and filmmaker Sarah Polley and Eleanor Wachtel, the longtime host of CBC’s Writers and Company.
