All members of the ESA Community are invited to join us for lunch this coming Wednesday for a very special Visiting Authors session.
We are delighted to welcome up and coming young Canadian authors Naben Ruthnum and Rudrapriya Rathore to ESA for the morning to work with the Grade 12 Writer’s Craft classes.
- They will be staying on over the lunchhour to chat with anyone else who would be interested in talking to them.
Naben won the 2013 Journey Prize which “recognizes emerging writers for the best short story first published in a Canadian literary journal.”
- Naben is the author of Curry: Eating, Reading and Race
- This title is part of Coach House Books series Exploded Views… a series of probing, provocative essays that offer surprising perspectives on the most intriguing cultural issues and figures of our day.
- Find a review of this title here at The Globe and Mail.
- Naben’s first published crime novel, under his pseudonym Nathan Ripley, is due for release in Spring 2018.
Rudrapriya, an ESA graduate with a Masters in Creative Writing, won the 2014 Irving Layton Award for Fiction from Concordia University. Currently one of the masthead editors at The Puritan, one of the foremost Canadian literary journals, Rudrapriya has had a number of her own pieces published, including:
- India’s Imagined World’s (Penguin House Magazine, August 2017)
- Book Reviews (for The Walrus)
- Short Stories (Heart Lake and The Two Handed Cloud)
- and poetry, Utero
We are so looking forward to their visit. Please plan to join us.
