Don’t miss it: This night is going to be lit. One of the sharpest writers around, Scaachi Koul will challenge you, make you laugh, and maybe make you angry. Koul was born and raised in Calgary and is a culture writer at BuzzFeed. Her writing has appeared in The New Yorker, The Hairpin, The Globe and Mail and Jezebel. 

One Day We’ll All Be Dead and None of This Will Matter is her first book, with essays that tackle racism, feminism, and culture through personal stories of spiked drinks, body hair, and her complex relationship with her parents. It has been optioned by First Generation Films for a scripted series. 

Books available for purchase courtesy of Open Sesame.
