David Bergen

David Bergen is widely regarded as one of Canada’s best writers.

As anarchists, Bolsheviks, and armies of various colours come and go, each claiming freedom and justice, David weaves an unforgettable tale about the resilience of love and hope.Join David and Red as they explore the two very different memoirs that inspired Away from the Dead, and the Russian literature that underpins the novel.
