# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Books & Ideas: Yann Martel — Son of Nobody
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 15 Apr, 2026 at 07:30 pm (-07:00)
- **Event Description**: Yann Martel’s 2001 philosophical adventure, Life of Pi, was a runaway global phenomenon—it won the Booker Prize and CBC’s Canada Reads, spent more than a year on the New York Times bestseller list, and was adapted to an Oscar-winning film and a Tony-winning play. The Canadian author continued to achieve success with Beatrice and Virgil, The High Mountains of Portugal, and now, his highly anticipated fifth novel: Son of Nobody, a brilliant retelling of the Trojan War from two commoners.

Don’t miss Yann Martel in Vancouver for one night only at the Lindsay Family Stage (formerly known as the Granville Island Stage), in conversation with award-winning writer and educator Aislinn Hunter, whose most recent book is the bestselling novel The Certainties. Books will be for sale at the event from Book Warehouse, a division of Black Bond Books, with an audience Q+A and book signing after the talk.
