This weekend! From the comfort of your couch! Free! The return of the Fraser Valley Literary Festival!

Comedian. Playwright. Pickleball aficionado. There’s more to Dr. Rajnish Dhawan than being a professor of English at UFV. He can often be found on stage at comedy nights. He has written and produced four plays since coming Canada in 2009. He became a doctor of Ayurveda medicine at age 26 but decided he loved literature more and returned to university. He's a follow-your-dream kind of guy. http://ow.ly/GFsb50Cmf1m

If there’s one activity that’s COVID-19 friendly, it’s curling up on the couch with a good book. But book lovers also like to discover new authors, and authors love reaching new audiences. The 2020 Fraser Valley Literary Festival on Nov 20 and 21 will do just that.... Presented online, the third annual festival will bring thirteen Canadian writers together to share their words and wisdom. The Fraser Valley Literary Festival is presented by the University of the Fraser Valley College of Arts, with the support of the BC Arts Council. http://ow.ly/s9Vj50CoFYD
