About this event
Novelist Tayari Jones will join moderator Kimberly Bain for a Vancouver Writers Fest conversation about Kin and her wider body of work.
Kin follows two friends as they navigate the complexities of life in the American South. The novel is an Oprah’s Book Club selection.
Jones’s books have been praised by Oprah and Barack Obama and appeared on Goodreads’ Most Popular list. TIME named her among its 100 Most Influential People of 2026, recognizing moving novels in the tradition of civil-rights organizers and the late-20th-century Black women’s literary renaissance.
