SUMMARY:Honouring Indigenous Writers - Author Reading with Brian Thomas Isaac
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening discussion with Syilx Author Brian 
 Thomas Isaac\, who will be reading from his book All the Quiet Places. 
 \n\nStory Description\n\nAll the Quiet Places is the story of what can 
 happen when every adult in a person’s life has been affected by 
 colonialism\; it tells of the acute separation from culture that can occur 
 even at home in a loved familiar landscape. Its narrative power relies on 
 the unguarded\, unsentimental witness provided by 
 Eddie.\n\nSpeaker\n\nBrian Thomas Isaac was born in 1950 on the Okanagan 
 Indian Reserve near Vernon\, BC. After completing grade eight\, he found 
 work in the oil fields and in construction\, and eventually retired as a 
 bricklayer. At the age of fifty\, without any formal training\, he began to 
 write and seventeen years later he completed his first novel\, All the 
 Quiet Places. His bestselling debut won the 2022 Indigenous Voices Award\, 
 was a finalist for the Governor General’s Award and the Amazon Canada 
 First Novel Award\, and was longlisted for the Scotiabank Giller Prize and 
 CBC’s Canada Reads. Brian and his wife live in West Kelowna where he 
 enjoys time with his three grandchildren and is completing his second 
 novel. \n\n \n\nLocation Details\n\n\n	Location:\n	*ONLINE*\n\n\nIf you
