Calgary’s own Glenn Dixon, the internationally bestselling author of Juliet’s Answer, returns to Wordfest with his highly anticipated new novel, The Infinite Sadness of Small Appliances, a charming tale — with timely Orwellian overtones—about a sentient Roomba vacuum that sets out to save the humans in her house.
Dixon breathes life into an appliance that typically breathes dust bunnies while teaching us the importance of human connection in a world terrorized by ubiquitous, invasive technology. Sound familiar?
Hosted by the CBC Calgary Eyeopener’s Loren McGinnis, the conversation starts at 7PM MT and includes an audience Q & A and book signing, fueled by Shelf Life Books. You can also pre-order copies of The Infinite Sadness of Small Appliances as well as Dixon’s back list at the link here.
The Infinite Sadness of Small Appliances is an extraordinary work… It will touch your heart and mind in ways you will not see coming and leave you with plenty to think about. This is Animal Farm for the 21st Century.” –Janice Hallett, author of The Killer Question
