Journalist, feminist, novelist, activist, teacher, Susan Swan’s impact on the Canadian literary and political scene has been far-reaching. Susan’s critically acclaimed fiction has been published in twenty countries. Her book The Wives of Bath, was adapted into the film Lost and Delirious, which has become a cult classic, was released in thirty-two countries and featured as a Premiere Selection at the Sundance Film Festival. Susan’s latest initiative, The Carol Shields Prize for Fiction, is a major new English-language literary award to celebrate creativity and excellence in fiction by women and non-binary writers in the United States and Canada.
We couldn’t help but get deeply personal with Susan, as our conversation ranged from topics of height, writing, gender, and one of her latest ventures that highlights women authors from the United States and Canada.
