Canadian Football and Folk Songs

with Author Henry Adam Svec

IN PERSON REGISTERED

Join local author and University of Waterloo professor, Henry Adam Svec, for a delightful evening of Canadian Football League folk legends and songs. Svec's recent book "Life is like Canadian Football and Other Authentic Folk Songs", is described as "a grossly inaccurate “memoir” about Canadian folk legends".

Henry Adam Svec is the author of American Folk Music as Tactical Media and Life is Like Canadian Football and Other Authentic Folk Songs . His writing has appeared in The New Quarterly, C Magazine, MOTHERBOARD, and elsewhere, and his musical performances have been presented in galleries and festivals including 7a*11d, FADO, and Sappyfest. He is also co-creator of Donair Academy, a digital role-playing game exploring Atlantic Canadian cuisine. He was raised on a cherry farm near Blenheim, Ontario, and has also lived in New Brunswick and Mississippi. He currently teaches at the University of Waterloo.

This program is presented in partnership with Invisible Books and was made possible with the financial assistance of the Canada Council for the Arts through The Writers’ Union of Canada's Nation Public Readings Program.
