Long a CanLit outsider, Newfoundland-based writer Kenneth J. Harvey loped into the winner’s circle with Inside, a tale of redemption that won raves and the Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize. His latest novel, Blackstrap Hawco, is a multi-generational family saga set among Newfoundland’s working class. Sept. 17. Also featured: neophyte author Andrew Davidson, whose debut The Gargoyle sparked an enviable New York bidding war, reads with Alberta’s Fred Stenson, who’s been around long enough to have snagged a Giller nomination for The Trade. Stenson returns to the world of that book—the 19th-century Canadian west—with The Great Karoo. Set in 1899, it follows a cowboy from rural Pincher Creek who ends up embroiled in the Boer War.—Brent Ledger
