Don’t miss a captivating evening with award winning Canadian novelist and University of Calgary English professor Aritha van Herk.

Is this a real story, or did I make it up? How do the stories that we encounter write themselves into our lives? How do places inscribe our stories? How do we tell a good story? And, how do the secrets of stories tempt us to discover, play, and learn? Acclaimed author, teacher and mentor Aritha van Herk will explore these questions and more in the 2016 Lecture of a Lifetime.

Aritha has made significant contributions to the canons of Alberta and Canadian literature and her work has enriched the lives of readers across Canada and around the world. She has helped to shape a generation of writers and foster a deeper understanding of what it means to be an Albertan.
