BOOK CLUB ALERT
Zachary Thompson is currently helping to coordinate the Cafe Augusta Book Club in Hamilton, ON. The Book Club meets once a month and Zachary acts in a kind of host/facilitator role, leading group discussion and asking questions of the author (if author is present).
Last month Zachary sat down with Hamilton author Gary Barwin for a discussion of his acclaimed, Giller-nominated novel Yiddish For Pirates. This month he will be graced by the presence of local Hamiltonian titan Krista Foss to talk about her fantastic novel Smoke River.
Cafe Augusta is located on James Street South & Augusta, across from the Hamilton GO Centre. This month’s meeting for Krista Foss/Smoke River will occur at 7pm on Monday, February 27th. Please attend!! Attendance at the Book Club supports both local businesses like the Cafe, as well as local authors like Gary Barwin and Krista Foss. The Hamilton literary community is an ever-growing, ever-developing, always-very-much-alive entity, and in assisting Cafe Augusta with this Book Club Zachary is hoping to bring the readers of Hamilton a little closer to their favourite local authors, which is to say, a littler further inside their favourite local books, as well as spreading awareness and praise for Hamiltonian authors who readers may not yet be familiar with.
Hope to see you there on Feb 27!!!!!!!
