Book News: Paul Quarrington reads The Ravine for Lit City
www.movingstories.tv ... Lit City Toronto Stories, Toronto Settings is a three-month citywide celebration of literary Toronto. It commemorates writers who find inspiration in Toronto and use the city as a setting in their work.
The series culminated at the 10th anniversary of Doors Open Toronto. Author / musician / filmmaker Paul Quarrington read an excerpt from his novel The Ravine at Todmorden Mills: Heritage Museum and Arts Centre followed by a walk in the Don Valley.
The valley is a perfect stand-in for the pivotal dramatic event in Quarrington's tale. His semi-autobiographical character Phil McQuigge is set upon by thugs at a pond just like this, an event that puts Phil on a life course for the worse.
The Ravine is available in stores and online; Paul's books, music recordings, and films are featured on his website, paulquarrington.org. For more book news, visit MovingStories.TV
