About 5. Starting Young
Karen Connelly knew from age 11 that she wanted to be a writer. At 17, she travelled to Thailand as a Rotary exchange student and lived for a year in a small village. Drawing on this experience, she wrote Touch the Dragon: A Thai Journal and won a Governor General’s Award—the youngest writer ever to receive the prize. Choosing the university of life over a formal education, she has lived all over the world. Now in Burmese Lessons, a memoir of her travels through a country caught in the grip of a fierce military regime, she turns again to Southeast Asia for her literary inspiration. In conversation with Merilyn Simonds.
A Youth Project event for high-school students and adults.
