Marianne Apostolides on this Tuesday, January 27 at 2pm

Tune in this Tuesday, January 27 from 2-3pm as Jennifer LoveGrove hosts and interviews writer Marianne Apostolides.

They'll discuss her forthcoming debut novel Swim, Marianne will read excerpts, and they'll play some tunes.

Swim entwines the present with those past actions and consequences that have brought Kat to the Greek mountain village where her father was born. She swims laps while her fourteen-year-old daughter reclines on a chaise lounge, poolside, reading a book. Without ever leaving the pool we enter discrete scenes with Kat’s parents, daughter, husband and lover. On entering each point in this history, Kat reveals an undertow of sound, rhythm and words in their rippling meanings. Each new lap moves Kat closer to her impending decision: whether she will leave her husband. But the deeper tension within this innovative novel derives from the writing itself – its vital urgency that extends the possibilities of narrative beyond the fixed and into the fluid.

Marianne Apostolides is a writer and critic whose first book was published by W.W. Norton and translated into Spanish and Swedish. Her current writing explores the ‘contact zone’ between genres – poetry vs. prose, fiction vs. non-fiction, creative vs. critical; it has appeared in The Walrus, Room, and Bookninja.com Magazine among other publications. She lives in Toronto with her two children.

Kyle Buckley - Tuesday, November 25, 2008

Tune in this Tuesday, November 25th from 2-3pm as Jennifer LoveGrove interviews Kyle Buckley about his debut book The Laundromat Essay.

There will be readings, tunes, questions, answers, and maybe even surprises.

The Laundromat Essay is a spiralling poem about the pathology of forgetting, a poetic narrative of credible absurdity and dazzling interest.

Kyle Buckley lives and writes in Toronto. He studied at York and the University of Calgary, and has taught creative writing at Ryerson University. He currently works at Type Books in Toronto and is a member of the Scream Literary Festival executive. He is a past winner of the now-defunct Queen Street Quarterly poetry contest. The Laundromat Essay is his first book.
