Rooted in Union Hotel’s commitment to storytelling, the series invites Giller Prize-winning, shortlisted, or longlisted authors to engage in live conversations with notable Canadian interviewers. Designed to offer a contemporary and inclusive literary experience, #BookTalk encourages guests and local audiences to connect with Canadian literature in an accessible, community-focused setting.
Each event, held in the hotel’s lobby, offers an intimate opportunity to hear authors reflect on their work, creative process, and cultural impact. The inaugural event features acclaimed writer André Alexis, in conversation with The Globe and Mail’s Deputy National Editor Rachel Giese, discussing his celebrated novels and recent release, Other Worlds. Overall, the series aims to enrich literary dialogue across Canada.
