Meet Martin Winckler: A Conversation

Tuesday, October 16
6:30 PM

Born in Algeria, Martin Winckler was an American Field Service exchange student in Minnesota in the early seventies. For the past thirty years, he has published best-selling novels and non-fiction books whose subject is health care and medical ethics. He is also a cultural critic, who introduced American TV drama to French audiences in the late 1990s and early 2000s. He currently teaches fiction writing at McGill Medical School in Montreal, as well as humanities at Ottawa University's School of Medicine.    
    Martin Winckler will explain how everything he needed to know to be a physician and a writer, he learned as an exchange student in Minnesota. Forty-five years have passed, but these influences are still strong in his writings and his current activity as an author and a teacher.
