Ian Williams Public Talk

November 18, 2021

On November 17th, Ian Williams read from his new book, Disorientation, and discussed the ways writing and race intersect. Disorientation examines the role that racism plays in the daily life of ordinary people.

Ian Williams is a distinguished author of fiction, nonfiction and poetry, and was hosted by UBCO’s Anti-Racist Reading Book Club and Kevin Chong, assistant professor of creative writing. Earlier this month, members of the club read Williams’ latest work Disorientation and met to discuss the book prior to this public event.
