The mammoth 2 1/2 hour extravaganza showcased Anansi talent past, present and future. Host Albert Schultz delighted the audience with a sharp, funny and Anansi-anecdote-stuffed speech as one by one authors Margaret Atwood, Roch Carrier, Graeme Gibson, Elyse Friedman, Shani Mootoo, Kevin Connolly and A.L. Kennedy took to the stage.<br /><br />There was music by Jason Collett, and a giant birthday cake was sliced and served to one and all (sadly, there were no birthday candles).IFOAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15222522935545937018noreply@blogger.com
