This week on Lit Pen we’ll hear from Larissa Lai, an alumnus of VFA 2022. Larissa’s books include the The Lost Century, The Tiger Flu, Iron Goddess of Mercy and Salt Fish Girl. Recipient of the Duggins Novelist’s Prize, the Lambda Award, the Astraea Award, and the Otherwise Honor Book, she has been a finalist for the Books in Canada First Novel Award, the Mitchell Award, the Livesay Prize and the Gabrielle Roy Prize.
We encourage you to follow Larissa’s writing exercise, Writing Historical Fiction or What I Learned from Writing a Historical Novel, and share your results with us in the Victoria Festival of Authors’ Lit Pen Facebook group.
