CanLit REALLY Is a Raging Dumpster Fire: Mainstage event with Alicia Elliott, Carrianne Leung and Jael Richardson
On April 14th, join Jael Richardson, Alicia Elliott, and Carrianne Leung at gritLIT festival!
CanLit REALLY Is a Raging Dumpster Fire
Last year, Tuscarora writer and activist Alicia Elliott published an article entitled CanLit is a Raging Dumpster Fire following events that sparked outrage throughout the CanLit community. The piece voiced frustrations with a Canadian writing culture plagued by elitism and exclusion — and recent events, including those here at GritLit, continue to reveal a culture in need of change. Where do we go from here? Alicia Elliott and author Carrianne Leung sit down with Jael Richardson, founder of the Festival of Literary Diversity, to dissect and discuss the messy world of Canadian Literature.
