Montreal Cultural Calendar

Did you know the only writer other than Ursula K. Le Guin to win Best Novel at the Hugos, Nebulas, and World Fantasy Awards lives in Montreal? Well she does. Anyway, she's launching a book. Free, but RSVP recommended.

Rollicking monthly open mic with an absurdist edge, this time featuring MTL-by-NYC-by-MTLer Imogene Mahalia and Ottawan Fellow Traveller IAN MARTIN, who will be accompanied by David Currie, with whom MARTIN's written a new above/ground chapbook. Whoever has the balls, plus Imogene Mahalia, IAN MARTIN, and David Currie.

Speaking of above/ground, the tentacles of Ottawa chapbook impresario rob mclennan continue to creep into Montreal as his press reissues a vintage Stephanie Bolster chap alongside a new one from Misha Solomon that responds to Bolster's original. Hosted by Sarah Burgoyne.

Launch of a mystery novel set in Westmount, where this launch happens to be. See what you can deduce from that. Also snacks.
