Sheridan Reads returned in epic fashion on March 4 as Sheridan welcomed celebrated author and Man Booker Prize winner Marlon James to the Trafalgar Campus.
The special event took place in the Marquee pub, where Marlon read from his new fantasy novel Black Leopard, Red Wolf and was featured in conversation with Sheridan Professor and Giller Prize-nominated author Thea Lim.
Sheridan’s Creative Writing and Publishing students were treated to a special meet-and-greet with Marlon before the event, where they engaged in conversation with him about his book and the publishing industry in general.
During the on-stage discussion, Marlon touched upon the sources of inspiration for his characters, as well as the ethical depiction of violence in literature, among other topics. An engaging Q&A session and book signing followed.
Even prior to its publication on February 5, Black Leopard, Red Wolf was receiving critical acclaim for its literary achievement. Learn more about Marlon James and the novel on the Sheridan Reads website.
