It was reported in the Winnipeg Free Press that would be in McNally Robinson's Grant Park location tonight, however please be advised that his presentation will in fact be tomorrow: Wednesday October 12th.
Event information below:
This is a special theatrical presentation from esteemed editor, publisher and raconteur Douglas Gibson based around his book Stories About Storytellers: Publishing Alice Munro, Robertson Davies, Alistair MacLeod, Pierre Trudeau, and Others (ECW Press).
Stories About Storytellers follows the legendary Doug Gibson through 40 years of editing and publishing some of Canada?s sharpest minds and greatest storytellers. Gibson is a terrific storyteller himself, and through his recollections we get an inside view of Canadian politics and publishing that rarely gets told. From Jack Hodgins? Vancouver Island to Harold Horwood?s Labrador, from Alice Munro?s Ontario to James Houston?s Arctic, Doug Gibson takes us on an unforgettable literary tour of Canada, going behind the scenes and between the covers, and opening up his own story vault for all to read and enjoy.
Douglas Gibson worked as an editor and publisher from 1968 until he retired from McClelland & Stewart in 2009. His Douglas Gibson Books was Canada?s first editorial imprint and lives on. He travels widely from his Toronto, ON, base.
