Calgary’s own Glenn Dixon, the internationally bestselling author of Juliet’s Answer, returns to Wordfest with his highly anticipated new novel, The Infinite Sadness of Small Appliances, a charming tale—with timely Orwellian overtones—about a sentient Roomba vacuum that sets out to save the humans in her house.
