Join the North Vancouver City Library for a reading with acclaimed Vancouver Author Steven Galloway. Galloway will read from his new novel, The Confabulist, which uses the life and sudden death of Harry Houdini to weave a magical tale of intrigue, love and illusion.
Galloway is the author of three novels, most recently The Cellist of Sarajevo, an international bestseller, called “the work of an expert” by The Guardian. He has won the Borders Original Voice Award, the OLA Evergreen Award, and the George Ryga Award for Social Awareness in Literature, and has been nominated for the Internation IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, the Scotiabank Giller Prize, the Richard & Judy Book of the Year Award, the Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize, the Canadian Booksellers Association Fiction Award, and the Amazon.ca/Books in Canada First Novel Award. His work has been published in more than thirty countries and optioned for film.
Joining Galloway is local author Maggie Bolitho, whose young adult novel Lockdown will be published this June by Great Plains Press. The reading is free and starts at 7pm in the Singh Room on the third floor of the library. Doors open at 6:30 for wine and snacks. You can register online via the library’s Events Calendar at nvcl.ca.
