Guest Speaker:
Anthony De Sa
Join us for a candid talk with a Portuguese-Canadian author!
The Cultural Embrace
The author looks back at the fundamental events in his
Portuguese upbringing, social and political, that informed
his writing and shaped his character.
Anthony De Sa grew up in Toronto’s Portuguese
community. His short fiction has been published in
several North American literary magazines. Anthony's
first book, Barnacle Love, was critically acclaimed and
became a finalist for the 2008 Scotiabank Giller Prize
and the 2009 Toronto Book Award. Anthony’s new novel,
Kicking the Sky, was a finalist for the 2014 LIBRIS
award, the 2014 Canadian Authors Association
Literary award, and the 2014 Toronto Book Award. Anthony graduated from University
of Toronto and Queen’s University. He is currently a teacher-librarian at Michael
Power/St. Joseph High School. He lives in Toronto with his wife and three boys.
