Book Launch: Walking the Bypass

Description

Additional Information

Join us for a book talk with author Ken Wilson about his new memoir Walking the Bypass about his experiences walking alongside the decidedly pedestrian-unfriendly Regina Bypass, all while situating the highway within the ongoing history of settler colonialism in southern Saskatchewan.

Fellow author Trevor Herriot will talk with Ken Wilson about how his journeys on foot allowed him to reflect on the profound transformations to the land since the arrival of settlers and helped him to form a connection with the land through walking—even on the gravelly edge of the freeway—the kind of place we think of as "nowhere".

After the book talk ends, refreshments will be served and books will be available for sale. The author will be pleased to sign copies. Don't miss out on what promises to be a lively discussion!

This event is presented in partnership with University of Regina Press
