Our fifty-seventh reading, and our second at our new home, will feature appearances by Evan Munday, Elise Newman and David Derry. The reading will be "pay what you can" as always, and donations of new and used books in resale condition will be collected on behalf of the Book Ends program at the Toronto Public Library. Don't miss it!
Evan Munday is the publicist for Coach House Books. He's also the illustrator of the novel Stripmalling by Jon Paul Fiorentino, and the cartoonist behind a self-published comic book, Quarter-Life Crisis, set in a post-apocalyptic Toronto. Upcoming projects include a young adult novel and a graphic novel written by Elyse Friedman, both to be published in 2011.
Elise Newman is back in her hometown of Toronto after spending several years in Montreal. She holds an MA in Theatre Direction (University of East Anglia, UK) and one in Creative Writing from Concordia. Her short story "Canevas" was published in Virages and her plays have been produced at the McGill Drama Festival (Montreal), SummerWorks (Toronto), GI60 (Yorkshire, UK), and at the Montreal and Ottawa Fringe festivals. Check out her play Raven for a Lark at this summer's Toronto Fringe Festival (please).
David Derry lives in Toronto. Having been seduced by farming, boat-building, and chauffeuring, and having flirted with academia, he more recently discovered the insular pleasure of drafting and amending contracts, where we find him today, working as a legal assistant. Sentimental Exorcisms, a collection of short fiction published by Coach House Books, is his first book.
