SUMMARY:Alex Pugsley at TIFA
DESCRIPTION:Join Alex Pugsley\, author of The Education of Aubrey McKee (May 7\, 2024)\, at the Toronto International Festival of Authors! Alex will be in conversation with Jean Marc Ah-Sen to talk about writing books about writers falling in love with other writers and the emotional turmoil that comes from it. With both novels set in the Toronto literary scene\, the authors will have plenty to talk about how the city is central to their inspirations. The conversation will be moderated by Tomas Hachard\, and supported by Toronto Lit Up. Books will be available for sale and signing afterwards. \nThe event will take place at the Lakeside Terrace on Sunday\, September 29 at 1PM. \nTickets and more details here. \nGrab The Education of Aubrey McKee here! \nCheck out the first book\, Aubrey McKee\, here! \nABOUT THE EDUCATION OF AUBREY MCKEE \nLonglisted for the 2024 Toronto Book Awards • A Toronto Star Most Anticipated Spring Title • A 49th Shelf Can’t Miss Title for Spring \nA young writer finds his way in and out of love in the late twentieth century. \nThe scene is Toronto\, the early 1990s\, and at a house party Aubrey McKee falls in love with a bewitching stranger who talks him into stealing a piece of cake. This woman—a poet named Gudrun Peel—rapidly becomes the person for whom he would do anything at all. Together\, Aubrey and Gudrun make a life of delirious idiosyncrasy. Surrounded by friends\, frenemies\, lovers\, and rivals in the underground arts scene\, the possibilities of their destiny remain radically open. But as their relationship deepens\, and their creative and professional lives stumble\, stall\, and then suddenly blow up\, Aubrey and Gudrun struggle against their own inexperience . . . as well as each other. \nThe much-anticipated follow-up to Alex Pugsley’s Aubrey McKee\, The Education of Aubrey McKee is a campus novel in which the city of Toronto is the institute of higher education and the setting for a glittering story about the incandescence of first love. \nABOUT ALEX PUGSLEY \nAlex Pugsley is the author of the novels Aubrey McKee and The Education of Aubrey McKee\, as well as the short story collection Shimmer.
