Book Launch: Vancouvered Out by Norman Nawrocki

Saturday, April 20, 2024, 4:00 pm ET

Acclaimed Montreal author Norman Nawrocki launches his exciting and timely new novella, Vancouvered Out, Saturday April 20, 2024 at the Milton-Parc Community Library, 3516 ave du Parc, Montreal, H2X 2H7. The 4pm launch is free.

Vancouvered Out (Nawrocki’s 17th book) is a dramatic and timely story about roots, gentrification, housing rights, community and the fight for a city. Although the story is set in Vancouver, the issues it raises concern Montrealers also. We see the city through the eyes of Steve, a poor and unemployed labourer. Demons and drug dealers drove him out of town ten years earlier in 2004. Now he’s back seeking a new life and answers to the mysterious death of his teen daughter. But in this west coast paradise he once called home, he feels strangely out-of- place. As the love of family and friends stokes his own smouldering defiance of the new soul- destroying urban order, he aches for justice and a livable city for all.
