Yes, I do. Well, not literally, but I think buck toothed wood destroying critters are cute and also… yeah, I’ll leave it there.
I’m taking part in a reading this coming Sunday with a bunch of other writer’s currently ensconced in the Gibraltar Point Centre for the Arts in Toronto. Along with writers Julia Tausch, Emma Roberts and Dan Siney, I’ll be doing a performance from current work whilst also sitting around a fire, possibly whilst boozing. I am also hoping to have a good solid Christmas jumper for the occasion. The event is called Beaver Fever and should be a good night’s literary chit chat, performance and other bits and bobs.
I’ll be performing/reading from Daffney Molloy And Other Catastrophes which is a small novelette (like an omelette, only a novel) that I wrote quite a while ago but revisited whilst I’ve been here in Toronto. In other form, it was part of a play I wrote called Smitten which I’m also currently dusting off while I’m here. I’ll be doing all the voices and the movements by my lonesome… playing Daffney Molloy is too much fun for a grown man to admit.
So for anyone in and around or near Toronto, the event takes place this Sunday November 28th at 8pm in the Fireplace Room of Artscape Gibraltar Point.
It is also likely that there may be beavers in attendance. Beavers with fever.
