SUMMARY:Baraka Books Launches "Waswanipi" by Jean-Yves Soucy (Reading by Romeo Saganash)
DESCRIPTION:Join Romeo Saganash for a reading from Waswanipi followed by a question-and-answer session. \nIt’s 1963\, Jean-Yves Soucy is 18 and dreams of being a fire warden scanning the boreal forest from a fire tower. But he ends up at an equipment depot between Val-d’Or and Chibougamau. To his delight\, he is located near the Cree community of Waswanipi. With two Cree guides\, including a man named William Saganash\, he will be canoeing through the lakes and rivers of the region. \nOn each encounter with the Crees\, Jean-Yves expects to see a new world. Instead\, he meets a different civilization\, as different from his own as Chinese civilization. Yet he knows nothing about it. \nHe wrote Waswanipi because Romeo Saganash\, son of William\, insisted: “You have to write that\, Jean-Yves. About your relationship with my father and the others\, how you saw the village. You got to see the end of an era.” \n***\nPlease R.S.V.P. at liteventrsvp@gmail.com
