An Evening with Patrick deWitt (The Librarianist)

An evening with bestselling and award-winning author Patrick deWitt as he discusses his new book, The Librarianist (House of Anansi Press) with host Chris Hall of McNally Robinson Booksellers. Co-presented by The Winnipeg International Writers' Festival.
From Patrick deWitt comes the story of Bob Comet, a man who has lived his life through and for literature, unaware that his own experience is a poignant and affecting narrative in itself. With his inimitable verve, skewed humor, and compassion for the outcast, deWitt has written a wide-ranging and ambitious document of the introvert’s condition. The Librarianist celebrates the extraordinary in the so-called ordinary life, and depicts beautifully the turbulence that sometimes exists beneath a surface of serenity.
