StoryFest 2023 presents: Waubgeshig Rice

WAUBGESHIG RICE grew up in Wasauksing First Nation on the shores of Georgian Bay, in the southeast of Robinson-Huron Treaty territory. He’s a writer, listener, speaker, language learner, and a martial artist, holding a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. After working for nearly two decades as a journalist, mostly for CBC, and writing fiction in his spare time, he recently moved to make literature and storytelling his primary focus. He is the author of the short story collection Midnight Sweatlodge (2011), the novel Legacy (2014), and the national bestseller Moon of the Crusted Snow (2018), which is the winner of the 2019 OLA Forest of Reading Evergreen Award and a 2023 Canada Reads Longlist Selection. Moon of the Turning Leaves is his new and much anticipated sequel. He lives in N’Swakamok—also known as Sudbury, Ontario—with his wife and three sons.
