What’s it like to sit in a legend’s chair?
Dispatch 1: The Writer Settles In
During her time as the 2015 Mordecai Richler Writer in Residence at Concordia University in Montreal, Ann-Marie MacDonald has been chronicling her experience through a series of ‘dispatches.’ In these brief videos the award-winning author reflects on and among the writerly-tools of the late author. Richler attended what is now the Sir George Williams campus of the university from 1949-1951.
Dispatch 2: Generation Tough
Dispatch 3: Too Sexy for My Books
MacDonald’s endearing dispatches give an up-close look at both writer residency and the amassed relics of Mordecai Richler. To complete the series, 3 more videos are currently in production, the last of which will be shot in collaboration with Concordia students.
