In the early 21st century, as in the past, Vancouver is a contradictory city that resists easy definition--now with its glass tower condos, crippling housing problem, beautiful blue ocean, and tragic opioid crisis. It is precisely these oppositions that have attracted Jen Sookfong Lee to use Vancouver as a visible, ever-changing setting in all of her books, from fiction to poetry to memoir. Join Jen for an evening that explores how Vancouver appears in her work, and what continues to fascinate her about this mercurial, frustrating and unknowable city.
