Canada Literature Festival award for Yakub Mathew's book

SEEKING The Infinite: Faith, Philosophy and the Inner Journey, authored by Yakub Mathew, has been awarded the Creative Book of the Year Award at the Canada Literature Festival Brampton, held this week.

Stories travel. They cross borders, languages, and generations, shaping how we see the world and each other. The Canada Literature Festival (CLF) brings these stories together, creating a space where voices from across cultures converge to share ideas, perspectives, and experiences.

At CLF, storytelling goes beyond the written word. From literature and cinema to music, performance, policy, and lived narratives, the festival explores stories in all their forms, connecting tradition with contemporary expression, and local voices with global audiences.

More than a festival, CLF is a meeting point of cultures and conversations. It is where stories are not only told, but experienced, fostering dialogue, discovery, and a deeper understanding of our shared human journey.
