“True wilderness has no narrative. It is immediate, and visceral, beyond words at the time, and often beyond description later. So, it speaks to Claire Cameron’s courage and skill as a writer that she has triumphantly wrested such a compelling and profound story out of her journey, both into the wild heart of bear country, and into the terror-filled landscape of a devastating cancer diagnosis.” Trust acclaimed author Helen Humphreys to put into words why you simply can't miss this show with Claire Cameron, hosted by journalist Christina Frangou. They’ll be delving into Cameron’s astonishing memoir How to Survive a Bear Attack, her follow-up to The Last Neanderthal (a finalist for the 2017 Writers Trust Prize for Fiction). The conversation includes an audience Q & A and book signing, fuelled by Shelf Life Books. You can also place a pre-order for the book, as well as Cameron’s phenomenal backlist, here.
We are grateful to Penguin Random House Canada for making it possible to connect you with Claire Cameron.
