UPCOMING EVENTS

1

Book Launch for
Autobiography of a Blue-eyed Devil
By Inga Muscio

FRIDAY NOVEMBER 4
7pm @ TWB

She's back!
In the widely anticipated follow-up to Cunt, Autobiography of a Blue-eyed Devil provides us with Muscio's experience of her life and times in a racist, imperialist society. She asserts that the history we learn in school and life is a marketing brand developed by white men who maintain the right to spin their ideologies as hard facts.

Join us for an evening chat with Inga to launch her second book, have your copy autographed and enjoy an overall great evening!

Free Admission. Wheelchair Accessible.
Co-sponsored by Seal Press and Publishers Group Canada .

Book Launch for
Fledgling
By Octavia Butler

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 7pm
Innis Town Hall
2 Sussex Avenue
Admission: $5 - $12 sliding scale
Advance tickets available online at www.womensbookstore.com
Over the phone with a credit card, or in person at TWB.

Fledgling, Octavia Butler's first new novel in seven years, is the story of an apparently young, amnesiac girl whose alarmingly un-human needs and abilities lead her to a startling conclusion: she is in fact a genetically modified, 53-year-old vampire. Fledgling is a captivating novel that tests the limits of “otherness” and questions what it means to be truly human.

Join us for an evening with Octavia Butler and Nalo Hopkinson as they converse about Octavia's new book and life.

Octavia Butler is the author of over a dozen books, including Kindred, Parable of the Sower, Parable of the Talents, Dawn, Bloodchild and Imago.

Toronto-based Nalo Hopkinson is an internationally acclaimed author and editor of several books, including Brown Girl in the Ring, Midnight Robber and Salt Roads.

Wheelchair Accessible. Co-sponsored by Seven Stories Press and Publishers Group Canada .
