In this two-hour tour we’ll stroll along many of the streets of the neighbourhood to discover some of the places and themes that inspired several Montreal writers during the 20th and 21st centuries. We’ll read excerpts – some in their original languages, some in translation. The tour is being offered this year as part of the Journées de la culture.
Tour led by Melanie Leavitt and Joshua Wolfe, Mile End Memories.
