Book Launch: Walking with Oma: a memoir by Angie Littlefield
Join us in Heliconian Hall on Tuesday, April 15 as Angie Littlefield launches her new book Walking with Oma: a memoir with the help of fellow writers Lucy E.M. Black (Stella’s Carpet), Caroline Topperman (Your Roots Cast a Shadow) and poet Ariane Blackman (Learning to Leave) as panel moderator.
Angie starts the evening with a powerpoint presentation about a 600 km trek in the beautiful Elbe River Valley in Germany. That pleasant walk in 2008 led her to discussions with WWII period witnesses and reflections about intergenerational trauma, war guilt and questions of identity. Angie will provide glimpses into the most memorable incidents and revelations.
Ariane Blackman (Lit Section) will moderate a panel with Angie, Lucy and Caroline to explore how they shaped personal history into fiction, non-fiction, memoir and poetry. Why these choices?
Free event. Registration required. Doors open 6pm.
