The Festival Bookshop is open for business and there are piles of books just waiting to be purchased.<\/p>\n<p>The noon-time round table was insanely eclectic, but worked incredibly well \u2013 where else would you get a doctor\/novelist (Martin Winkler), a philosopher\/novelist (Annabel Lyon), a Quebecois radical rapper\/novelist (Biz) and an investigative journalist\/novelist (Linden MacIntyre) all together talking about Stories and What They Do? The crowd was very happy (even though we ran out of simultaneous translation devices, for the first time ever!) and seemed so delighted to have had the opportunity to feed their imaginations in this way.<\/p>\n<p>The book club with Steven Galloway was absolutely terrific! What a great guy! Steven is completely down to earth, modest and quite funny. The two \u201cinterviewers\u201d (Suzanne Pelham-Belliveau and Laura Nicholson) did a great job of setting up the discussion and then Noah Richler, an audience member, stirred the pot! What great fun. I could have listened to Steven all day. He made us all think about civilization and what it means; the small things that we do every day to maintain our part of the \u201ccivilized\u201d bargain.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m preparing right now for Soir\u00e9e Frye, our annual evening extravaganza. I\u2019ve been selling it this year as the ideal event to which to bring the \u201creluctant\u201d Frye fan. We will see. We sent out tons of invitations and the event is \u201cpay what you can\u201d, so I\u2019m hopeful that people will pack into our beautiful Capitol Theatre. There are four authors on the schedule, including Nino Ricci and Christian B\u00f6k (who arrived on the red-eye at noon today, looking exhausted!). Also, in our ongoing Frye Festival tradition of bringing an Anglophone and a Francophone musician together for the first time ever, we have Juno-winning Julie Doiron and Guillaume Arsenault on stage. As well, we will award $3,500 in prize money to high school students who have won our annual Frye Writing Contest.\u00a0 We also donate $1,000 to two winning schools for the purchase of new books. I\u2019ll be on stage with my co-host Mario Th\u00e9riault, which probably means public humiliation for me, but hey, all in the name of literature! The reception to follow will be fun since all the authors will be there (they are all accompanied by members of our community) and there is talk of a big party afterwards\u2026but I\u2019m taking authors to interviews at CBC\u2019s Information Morning at 6:40 tomorrow morning, so I don\u2019t know how late I\u2019ll be out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thursday, April 22, 2010 My day began with minor crises\u2026losing an author (but then finding him!), illnesses in an author\u2019s family, resulting in her cancelation, and a sick volunteer\/KidsFest coordinator, but all was solved by noon.
