Literary Cabaret: Crime Writing - Chapter 2 at CLVB '33

Join them for a gripping evening of suspense-filled storytelling at this Literary Cabaret, sharing works from the Crime Writing residency at Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity. Across three nights, explore readings of razor-sharp mystery and crime writing by participants and faculty mentors. Running for two weeks, this debut residency brings together writers working across crime fiction, mystery, noir, and crime-informed nonfiction, with room for hybrid forms that engage with criminal justice, investigation, and moral consequence. This chapter is hosted by award-winning Indigenous crime writer David Heska Wanbli Weiden, whose work brings moral complexity, cultural depth, and social critique to the genre. He’s the author of Winter Counts, named by Time magazine as one of the best mystery novels of all time. CLVB '33
