Art Gallery of Hamilton, 123 King Street West

gritLIT and Epic Books are pleased to welcome Jane Urquhart, one of Canada’s best loved writers, in conversation with Annette Hamm to talk about Jane’s most recent novel. In Winter I Get up at Night is one of the fall’s most anticipated books and one of the CBC’s Canadian Fiction Books to Read in Fall 2024. It was recently longlisted for the Giller Prize.
 
Described as “a work of aching beauty alert always to the wondrous” (Paul Lynch, author of Booker Prize Winner Prophet Song), Jane Urquhart charts an unforgettable life, while also exploring some of the grandest themes of the twentieth century — colonial expansion, scientific progress, and the sinister forces that seek to divide societies along racial and cultural lines. In Winter I Get Up at Night is a major work of imagination and self-exploration from one of the greatest writers of our time.
