Miriam Toews, Writers' Trust Fellow (2016)

Miriam Toews is a novelist central to Canadian literature. A proud Winnipegger, now transplanted to Toronto, she talks about her beginnings, the influence of the Prairies on her and her work, and how she approaches life through her writing. The video was produced in conjunction with the presentation of the Writers' Trust Fellowship, which awards a Canadian writer $50,000 for their exceptional ability. Produced by White Pine Pictures.
