(show)  ROUND TABLE: Penguin’s 40th Anniversary To commemorate Penguin Canada‘s 40th anniversary, join Joseph Boyden, Jian Ghomeshi, John Ralston Saul and Johanna Skibsrud for a discussion about the transformative power of literature and the Penguin books that have impacted their lives. Jared Bland moderates. Joseph Boyden’s debut, Three Day Road, won the Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize, the CBA Libris Fiction Book of the Year Award and the Amazon.ca/Books in Canada First Novel Award. His second novel, Through Black Spruce, won the Scotiabank Giller Prize, was named the Fiction Book of the Year by the Canadian Booksellers Association and earned him the CBA’s Author of the Year Award. Boyden presents his latest novel, The Orenda, which was shortlisted for the Governor General’s Literary Award for English-language Fiction and named the winner of 2014 Canada Reads. It is a nearly 400-year-old tale about the kidnapping of a young Iroquois girl, her Huron Nation captor and a Jesuit missionary.

In 2012, Ghomeshi was awarded the prestigious Gold Radio Award for Best Talk Show Host at the New York Festivals International Radio Program Awards. Ghomeshi presents his first book, 1982, a memoir told through intertwined stories of the songs and musical moments that changed his life.
