Red-headed stepchild of local novelists Marina Endicott and Lynn Coady, the Literary Saloon serves up heady cultural cocktail of storytelling, talks, music, art, dance, film, theatre and yes—even literary readings.
October, November and December's Saloons have been the talk of the town, featuring lit luminaries like Lisa Moore, Shani Mootoo, Karen Solie, Greg Hollingshead, Ted Bishop, Thomas Trofimuk, Marguerite Pigeon and Annabel Lyon. We've also tossed Salsa dancing, chocolate tasting and book-smelling (this was a contest) into the mix, and every month we offer fabulous door prizes. The event features every-friendly bar-service, delicious Artery-made eats, and wonderful on-site book seller Laurie Greenwood, of CBC radio song and story.
Keep checking back for February's line up. And write to us at litsaloon@gmail.com to suggest guests, contests and anything else you'd like to see, do, hear, learn, taste, win or otherwise consume.
