Louise Penny, a world-renowned Canadian murder mystery writer, has cancelled her US tour for her latest book, citing President Donald Trump’s repeated threats of a trade war against Canada and annexation.
Penny announced the move on social media, stating it was a "painful decision" because of the many friends and professional acquaintances she’d made in the US after touring there for 20 years. "Please understand this decision is not meant to punish Americans. This is about standing shoulder-to-shoulder with my fellow Canadians," she wrote.
Penny’s latest book, The Black Wolf, is the 20th tome in the Inspector Gamache series, which has sold more than 18 million copies worldwide in English and multiple other languages. The books have topped Canadian, US, and international bestseller lists, following the adventures of the head of the homicide department at la Sûreté du Québec.
Penny’s decision to cancel her US tour has earned widespread support on social media from dozens of Americans and Canadians, who praised her integrity and courage.
Instead, Penny will launch the book in Canada, and she invited all her American fans to attend that event. "I have decided that instead of launching THE BLACK WOLF in Washington, DC at the Kennedy Center, I will be doing the event in my nation’s capital Ottawa, at the National Arts Centre. It will be on Tuesday, October 28," she wrote.
In the days after the NAC launch in Ottawa, Penny will hold other Canadian book launch and promotion events before she ends her tour at the Haskell Free Library and Opera House. "This remarkable place was built in 1904 and sits right smack dab on the border between Québec and Vermont. The Haskell was built by both countries as a symbol of our strong bonds of friendship," Penny stated. "It is the physical reflection of what we believe. That what happens politically is one thing, and transitory. What happens in our hearts is indestructible."
Penny is hoping Americans will come to her Canadian book events. "You will be welcomed with open arms. As friends. As fellow villagers of Three Pines. Where goodness, and decency, exist," she wrote.
Conclusion:
Louise Penny’s decision to cancel her US tour has sparked a global conversation about the impact of politics on art and the importance of standing by one’s values. As the world waits with bated breath for her next move, one thing is certain – her commitment to her craft and her values will always come first.
