Heather O’Neill returns to discuss her latest novel, The Capital of Dreams, a fairy tale about a young girl fleeing a genocidal invasion in a fictional European region, armed only with a pivotal piece of outspoken literature penned by her infamous mother while accompanied by a talking, opinionated goose, how the book’s socio-cultural and political themes echo WWII, but also resonate with current events, and the erasure of citizens and their culture, how Heather’s difficult upbringing and complicated relationship with motherhood and parenting are reflected in this work, why tea and teacups work as a metaphor, cultural capital and the black market, an extensive Canadian tour, new projects, other future plans, and much more.
