Drew Hayden Taylor – "Cold"

In the organizer's words:

About the event

It all begins with a plane crash: the only survivors - the pilot and an aspiring journalist - hope to be rescued in the icy Ontario wilderness.

Meanwhile, Elmore Trent, professor of Indigenous literature and culture at the University of Toronto, is desperately trying to save his marriage after his wife dumped him because of his affair with the attractive student assistant.

And Paul North, an IHL field hockey player who is in Toronto for the Indigenous Hockey League finals, is confronted with the unglamorous end of his sporting career.

Very quickly it becomes clear that someone - or something - connects the supposedly isolated characters - something that is hunting them all down...

This event is part of our Amerikahaus Book Talks series.
