Author Claire Cameron discusses her book with Hamilton Review of Books founder Dana Hansen.

Attend a live reading and conversation with author Claire Cameron, who discusses their new book How to Survive a Bear Attack

The 45-minute conversation is followed by a 15-minute question and answer period. Check out the HPL catalogue to borrow the book before the event.

How to Survive a Bear Attack: A Memoir is at once an intimate portrait of an extraordinary animal, a bracing chronicle of pain, obsession and love and a profoundly moving exploration of how we can understand and survive the wildness that lives inside us. 

Dana Hansen (she/her) is a professor of English literature, language and communications at Humber Polytechnic in Toronto. She is also a writer and book reviewer with work in a number of publications, a librarian-in-training, and the founding publisher and editor-in-chief of Hamilton Review of Books. She lives in Waterdown with her family.
