Author Talk with Kate Beaton: Bestselling Cartoonist of Hark! A Vagrant! (Online)

Join us for an enlightening hour online with highly-acclaimed Kate Beaton, the New York Times bestselling author of Hark! A Vagrant! And Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands

Beaton's first full-length graphic narrative follows her life after university as she heads out west to take advantage of Alberta’s oil rush. With the singular goal of paying off her student loans, what the journey will actually cost Beaton will be far more than she anticipates.

Arriving in Fort McMurray, Beaton finds work in the lucrative camps owned and operated by the world’s largest oil companies. Being one of the few women among thousands of men, the culture shock is palpable.
