Relive the THIN AIR 2010 Fundraiser!

For its THIN AIR 2010 Fundraiser on June 4, the Winnipeg International Writer Festival invited Lawrence Hill and Steve Kirby to create an evening of words and music. Lawrence read selections from his acclaimed novel, The Book of Negroes, and the Steve Kirby Quartet (Steve Kirby, bass; Jimmy Greene, saxophone; Will Bonness, piano; Curtis Nowosad, drums) responded with soulful music from the African-American tradition. HarperCollins provided images from the illustrated edition of the novel.

McNally Robinson Booksellers videotaped the evening, part of which is available for viewing here. (Full video available shortly.) Or check out the audio podcast here, or the interview between Charlene and Larry here.
