 p><strong>A Tale for the Time Being</strong><br />Told in four parts\, A T
 ale for the Time Being goes back and forth between the stories of two prot
 agonists: sixteen-year-old Nao\, writing about her life in the early 2000s
 \, and Ruth\, a novelist living on a remote island off the coast of BC. Ru
 th finds Nao&rsquo\;s diary washed up on the beach shortly after the 2011 
 tsunami in Japan. As the mystery of the diary&rsquo\;s contents unfolds\, 
 Ruth becomes increasingly fixated on tracking down Nao and her family\, an
 d the two writers&rsquo\; stories begin to come together in surprising way
 s. Full of Ozeki&rsquo\;s signature humor and deeply engaged with the rela
 tionship between writer and reader\, past and present\, fact and fiction\,
  quantum physics\, history\, and myth\,&nbsp\;A Tale for the Time Being&nb
 sp\;is an inventive and beguiling story of our shared humanity and the sea
 rch for home.</p>\n<p><br />&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong><a href="https://www.j

 \n<p>In 2014\, Ontario-based painter and printmaker John Hartman (b. 1950)
  embarked on a project to capture the intimate relationship between more t
 han thirty leading Canadian authors and the places that inspire them. Hart
 man&rsquo\;s diverse roster of subjects included writers Esi Edugyan\, Rut
 h Ozeki\, M.G. Vassanji\, Thomas King\, Lisa Moore\, Neil Bissoondath\, Su
 san Swan and David Macfarlane. The result was a body of large-format portr
 ait paintings that celebrate the richness of Canada&rsquo\;s literary fabr
 ic.</p>\n<p>Many Lives Mark this Place&nbsp\;will feature a selection of l
 arge-scale paintings from Hartman&rsquo\;s portraits series. Through power
 fully uniting the parallel fields of literature and visual art\, Hartman u
 nderscores our collective desire to take inspiration and celebrate Canada 
 from coast to coast. The portraits speak to the power of the imagination i
 n experiencing &ndash\; physically\, emotionally and philosophically &ndas
 h\; the diverse landscapes of our country and the stories that they hold.<
