The Ottawa Writer's Festival celebrates its spring edition with an evening with Bernhard Schlink.

Bernhard Schlink, international bestselling author of The Reader and Guilt About the Past makes his Writers Festival debut with his latest novel, The Weekend. Old friends and lovers reunite for a weekend in a secluded country home after spending decades apart. But this isn’t just any reunion, and their conversations about the old days aren’t your typical reminiscences: After twenty-four years, Jörg, a convicted murderer and terrorist, has been released from prison. Passions are pitted against pragmatism, ideas against actions, and hopes against heartbreaking realities.
