Gary Geddes, Bruce Rice and Byrna Barclay

After this afternoon's great discussion about writing and the writer's role as a (perhaps only ever partial and often wrong) witness, three writers discuss books... Byrna Barclay, right, points out that the book she's holding, What Does a House Want, was written by Gary Geddes, centre. Event host Bruce Rice is on left.

Dave Margoshes Launches Wiseman's Wager

The fall book launch season has begun in Regina, with Dave Margoshes's new novel, Wiseman's Wager (Coteau Books).

This, from Coteau, on Margoshes's new Wager:
Through the streets of Strike-era Winnipeg, Toronto during the Depression, and the 1980s Calgary of Zan’s new life, Dave Margoshes’s compellingly unreliable narrator treats the reader to a magnificent meditation on aging, family ties, faith, and the liquid concept of the truth.

The launch was held at Tony Roma's in Regina, with good food and great stories offered with Dave's typical deadpan humour. A fine evening, for a fine book from my former writing mentor. 

(And okay, Dave — you wanted a picture... I'll send you these and two more.)
