Tzavta # 52 Wordfest Roddy Doyle

We were honoured, humbled, and excited to host author Roddy Doyle for an intimate dinner and conversation at Tzavta. The salon was part of Wordfest 2024’s brilliant Imaginarium Festival.

One of the world's most celebrated novelists and playwrights, Roddy Doyle talked with Calgary’s inimitable Denise Clarke about his novel About the Women Behind the Door, writing, and life. This was a night to remember.
