CBC, Canada - Canadian author Louise Penny has joined the growing list of people from the arts and culture communities to cancel events or dissociate themselves from the Kennedy Center, after U.S. President Donald Trump took control of the historic Washington, D.C., institution. Penny said on Friday she would not launch the 20th installment in her series of books featuring Chief Inspector Armand Gamache at the venue, as planned.
"I was supposed to launch The Black Wolf at the Kennedy Center in DC, but in the wake of Trump taking over, I have pulled out," she posted on Facebook, without specifying the date that event was to take place. "It was, of course, going to be a career highlight. But there are things far more important than that."
