A couple of bits of local-ish book news:
First, Allan Donaldson's new novel, The Case Against Owen Williams, will be launching at Westminster Books in Fredericton this Thursday night at 7:00pm. The book's been getting some good reviews, so if you're in the neighbourhood I hope you'll come hear Allan read. He'll also be in Halifax next month. The full book description can be found here, on the Nimbus site.
Second, I was thrilled today to see a book I worked on last year, Scotsburn, NS, author Johanna Skibsrud's debut novel, The Sentimentalists, on this year's Giller Prize long list. It's great both to see Johanna's (amazing) book on there and to see some small presses in the mix (including Gaspereau, Coach House and Biblioasis). The full list is here.
In other news I borrowed Nicholson Baker's The Anthologist (remember book club?) from a friend and roared through it in a couple of sittings this weekend. I'll be back with more to say on that very soon.
