LitTO: March 25April 2

the fantastic ibi kaslik is back with a succeed-up to her stunning debut novel, scraggy (a book that cracked the new york times best sellers list into two consecutive weeks earlier this yearno small tour de force for a pubescent canadian writer). kaslik’s latest offering, the angel riots (penguin books), is the mythical chronicle of two up-and-coming montreal bands, and speculation has already surfaced that the author (who, while in euphoric votaries, was in a corps with emily haines) drew spur for the novel from her real-life time spent with musicians. perhaps this wouldn’t be a point of hold if said musicians hadn’t eventually ended up in bands take a shine to stars and broken common scene. torontoist suggests you taking kaslik’s musical past (and any potential scandal via the fictionalizing of seedy details) and simply enjoy the work for what it isan engaging and entertaining rock untested from a clever, innovative young author. as per usual, kaslik creates a narrative that is both accessible and beautiful, and refreshingly, something that both literature and music lovers can get high on. on tuesday, april 1 join kaslik and apostle of hustle at the gladstone hotel ballroom for the launch. doors open at 7:00 p.m.

Bright and early that same day, you can head to Ben McNally Books and join John Steffler, Poet Laureate for Canada, in celebrating the launch of National Poetry Month.
