Voyageur Storytelling - Stephen Leacock: Stirring the Occurring

Monday Nov 06 2017 7:00 pm, Saskatoon, Travel Alcove

Stephen Leacock famously said, “Writing is no trouble: you just jot down ideas as they occur to you. The jotting is simplicity itself—it is the occurring which is difficult.” He also spoke often—sometimes humorously, sometimes seriously—about readers, showing that he was well aware of their importance and variety. He had his own ideas for how to bring the two parts of the writer-reader dyad together on mutually satisfactory terms.

Voyageur Storytelling’s Talk-and-Tell presentation, Stirring the Occurring, will bring all this to life. Leslie Robbins-Conway and Paul Conway will tell stories by and about Stephen Leacock, using his own fables and pronouncements on writing, reading, and literature to evoke lively conversation with the audience.
