A conversation on how the use of memory, a powerful tool, is also fickle and unreliable, according to author Denise Chong. Join author Denise Chong, best known for her family memoir, The Concubine’s Children, for a conversation on the writer’s use of the tool of memory: powerful, but also fickle and unreliable. Denise will discuss how we feel compelled to rummage in our pasts, hoping to bring to life, if only for a moment, what we remember. She’ll share how the writer relies on memory and grapples with how fickle and flawed it can be.
Moderated by Lucie McNeill, a former CBC Radio current affairs host in Vancouver and a freelance journalist in China.
