IN THE MEDIA: Events & Press!

Spring 401 Tour

Our Spring 401 Tour kicked off last night and we’re readying the Bibliomanse as Paige Cooper, Amanda Jernigan, Rachel Lebowitz, and Richard Sanger make their way west, spreading brilliance and shiny new books all across the land.

You can catch this super squad tonight in Hamilton (Epic Books, 7 pm), Thursday in Toronto (Monarch Tavern, 7:30), and here in Windsor on Friday (Biblioasis, 7:30 pm). Which means your humble Biblioblogger only has two days to clean off her desk.

Excellent Press

While I weep into this stack of mailing lists, please enjoy this round-up of the week’s excellent press!

• Kerry Clare reviews Ray Robertson’s 1979 at Pickle Me This
• The Globe and Mail names Alex Pheby’s Playthings one of their “17 books to read while the weather’s nice”. You can also listen to an interview with Alex at Unsound Methods.
• Isla McKetta reviews Paige Cooper’s Zolitude at Geography of Reading and Brad de Roo interviews the author at Carte Blanche.
• Tobias Carroll recommends Ondjaki’s Transparent City on Words Without Border’s April Watchlist.
