Literary Cabaret: Literary Journalism - Chapter 3

Join them for an engaging evening of nonfiction storytelling at this Literary Cabaret, a sharing of works in the Literary Journalism residency at Banff Centre. Across three nights, explore boundary-pushing readings from participants and faculty mentors. The three-week residency brings together writers working on long-form journalism, narrative nonfiction, cultural criticism, and reported essays. Participants focus on deeply researched, real-world storytelling—where reporting meets literary craft. This chapter is hosted by Shawn Micallef, a celebrated urban journalist and cultural commentator whose work explores cities, civic life, and everyday culture. He is a Toronto Star columnist and the author of books including Stroll: Psychogeographic Walking Tours of Toronto and Frontier City: Toronto on the Verge of Greatness. CLVB '33
