Since its inception in 1998, the Lorenzo Society at UNB Saint John has had the privilege of hosting Canadian authors from across the country. These readings were typically in person, however, with the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, we’ve been challenged to pivot to hosting virtual events.

In September 2020 we launched the Lorenzo Virtual Book Club (LVBC). We feature authors on the third Wednesday every month; and for the 2020-2021 season, we hosted authors such as Emma Donoghue, Uzma Jalaluddin, Janie Chang, and many others.

In November we will be hosting Genevieve Graham as we discuss her bookLetter Across the Sea. This discussion will take place on Wednesday, November 17 at 7:30PM (ADT).  Participants must register in advance.  Please email lorenzo@unb.ca to register.

In December we will be hosting Lesley Crewe as we discuss her book The Spoon Stealer.  This discussion will take place on Sunday, December 5^, at 2:00PM (ADT).  Participants must register in advance.  Please email lorenzo@unb.ca to register.

All Lorenzo events are listed in our printed program.  To get a copy of our fall and/or winter program, email us with your name and address and the program(s) will be mailed to you.
