Join us for an evening of literary insights and tall tales with author and exuberant storyteller, Douglas Gibson. He earned the title “Cartographer of Canadian Publishing” during his decades at the helm of McClelland & Stewart, where he worked with (and helped launch) some of Canada’s brightest literary stars including: Robertson Davies, Margaret Atwood, Rohinton Mistry, Michael Ondaatje, W. O. Mitchell and Alice Munro (to name but a few).
In the intimate setting of Wolf Performance Hall, Gibson will be interviewed by his friend, two-time winner of the Leacock Medal for Humour, author Terry Fallis. There will be a Q&A and book signing post event. Local London authors will have their books on display.
Tickets are $15 (advance) and $20 (at the door, cash only). Proceeds will help fund programs and initiatives to promote our members who are all local authors.
