SUMMARY:Mike Barnes at Word on the Street Toronto
DESCRIPTION:Mike Barnes\, author of Sleep Is Now a Foreign Country\, will be at Word on the Street Toronto on Saturday\, September 28. Time and more details TBA. \nGrab a copy of Sleep Is Now a Foreign Country here! \nABOUT SLEEP IS NOW A FOREIGN COUNTRY \nFinalist for the 2024 Trillium Book Award • One of CBC Books’ Canadian Nonfiction to Read in the Fall \nA poet recounts his experience with madness and explores the relationship between apprehension and imagination. \nIn the summer of 1977\, standing on a roadside somewhere between Dachau and Munich\, twenty-two-year-old Mike Barnes experienced the dawning of the psychic break he’d been anticipating almost all his life. “Times over the years when I have tried to describe what followed\,” he writes of that moment\, “it has always come out wrong.” In this finely wrought\, deeply intelligent memoir of madness\, its antecedents and its aftermath\, Barnes reconstructs instead what led him to that moment and offers with his characteristic generosity and candor the captivating account of a mind restlessly aware of itself. \nABOUT MIKE BARNES \nMike Barnes is the author of twelve books of poetry\, short fiction\, novels\, and memoir. He has won the Danuta Gleed Award and a National Magazine Award Silver Medal for his short fiction\, and the Edna Staebler Award for his photo-and-text essay “Asylum Walk.” His most recent book of nonfiction\, Be With: Letters to a Caregiver\, was a finalist for the City of Toronto Book Award and has been praised by Margaret Atwood as “Timely\, lyrical\, tough\, accurate.” He lives in Toronto.

A recently separated woman relocates to a small northern town\, where she receives a life-changing visitation\, and a Russian hitman\, suffering from a mysterious lung ailment\, retrieves long-buried memories of his past. In the nineteenth century\, a disparate group of women coalesce in the attempt to aid a young girl in her escape from a hospital for the insane. These are but some of the remarkable characters who populate these stories\, all of them grappling with conflicts ranging from mundane to extraordinary. Caroline Adderson’s A Way to Be Happy considers what it means to find happiness—and how often it comes through the grace of others. \nABOUT CAROLINE ADDERSON \nCaroline Adderson is the author of five novels (A Russian Sister\, Ellen in Pieces\, The Sky Is Falling\, Sitting Practice\, and A History of Forgetting)\, two previous collections of short stories (Pleased to Meet You and Bad Imaginings)\, as well as many books for young readers. Her award nominations include the Sunday Times EFG Private Bank Short Story Award\, the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award\, two Commonwealth Writers’ Prizes\, the Governor General’s Literary Award\, the Rogers’ Trust Fiction Prize\, and the Scotiabank Giller Prize longlist. The recipient of three BC Book Prizes\, three CBC Literary Awards\, and the Marian Engel Award for mid-career achievement\, Caroline lives and writes in Vancouver.
