The Dunedin Literary Festival returns this year promising more of everything: more authors, more music, more discussions, more activities, more vendors, and more walks in the park. An all inclusive, all-ages, one-day family affair that celebrates Canadian arts & literature, music, food, and community in the hopes of inspiring and educating readers of all ages.
This year’s festival will include a stellar line-up of award-winning Canadian authors, musicians, and poets, including Nino Ricci, Claire Cameron, Catherine Bush, Cecily Ross, Alison Pick, Brent Preston, Trevor Cole, Andrew Pyper, and Antanas Sileika.
Antanas Sileika, author of Underground and, most recently, The Barefoot Bingo Caller, talks with Nino about poker, books, and the writing life. Recently retired as the Director of the Humber School for Writers and a frequent contributor to the literary press, Antanas is equally accomplished as both writer and literary commentator.
