Elyse Friedman launch

I'm looking forward to Elyse's launch of her new collection Long Story Short, on Thursday night, Nov. 1. It will be at Type Books, 883 Queen St. West, starting at 7:30. Open to everyone.
Anansi is publishing it. She is a very good and funny writer.


I can't seem to get a picture of the cover to go in here. Damn. You'll have to check it out on Elyse's site!

Rick Mercer!

I am SO going to watch Rick Mercer tonight!!! Mercer is absolutely brilliant.

Get a sneak peak: http://www.cbc.ca/arts/tv/story/2007/10/02/mercer-black-premiere.html

Word on the Street was really good. Great events in the tents. Russell Smith did not disappoint. He did mention that fiction doesn't pay. The Giller panel was highly entertaining--I didn't know that Austin Clark, Richard Wright and Vincent Lam were such wits. Also, Quarrington's info about how a novelist's skills translate better to TV than to film might come in handy...
