SUMMARY:Eliza Robertson launches I Got A Name in conversation with Kasia Van Schaik
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, May 18 at 7 pmLa Petite Librairie Drawn & Quarterly\n\n\n\nJoin Eliza Robertson at La Petite Librairie Drawn & Quarterly at 176 rue Bernard O at 7 pm on Thursday\, May 18th for the launch of her new book I Got A Name! The evening will feature a reading\, a conversation with Kasia Van Schaik\, Q&A and signing. \n\n\n\nThe event is free and open to all. Books will be available for purchase at the event and the author will sign copies of their book. \n\n\n\nPlease note that we are asking all guests to wear masks at this event. Masks will be available free of charge upon entry. \n\n\n\nAbout the Book\n\n\n\nA vivid and meticulous true-crime story that exposes the deep fractures in a system that repeatedly fails to protect women\, while tracking the once-cold trail of a murderer still at large. \n\n\n\nKrystal Senyk was the kind of friend everybody wants: a reliable confidant\, a handywoman of all trades\, and an infectious creative with an adventurous spirit. Most importantly\, she was tough as nails. So when her best friend needed support to leave her abusive husband\, Ronald Bax\, Krystal leapt into action. \n\n\n\nBut soon Krystal became the new outlet for Bax’s rage. He terrorized and intimidated her for months on end\, and finally issued a chilling warning to her and his ex-wife: the hunt is on. Krystal was scared but she was smart: she reached out to the RCMP for a police escort home. The officer brushed her off. \n\n\n\nBax’s threat had been all too real. At 29 years old\, the woman who seemed invincible—who was a beloved sister\, daughter\, and friend—was shot and killed at her home in the Yukon. Ronald Bax disappeared without a trace. \n\n\n\nThree decades later\, Eliza Robertson has re-opened the case. In compelling\, vibrant prose\, she works tirelessly to piece together Krystal’s story\, retracing the dire failings of Canadian law enforcement and Bax’s last steps. I Got a Name uses one woman’s tragic story to boldly interrogate themes of gender-based violence and the pervasive issues that plague our society. In this riveting true-crime story about victimhood\, power\, and control\, Robertson examines the broken system in place\, and asks: if it isn’t looking out for the vulnerable\, the threatened\, the hunted—who among us is it protecting? \n\n\n\nAbout the Author\n\n\n\nEliza Robertson attended the University of Victoria and the University of East Anglia\, where she received the 2011 Man Booker Scholarship. In 2013\, she won the Commonwealth Short Story Prize and was a finalist for the CBC Short Story Prize and Journey Prize. Her novel Demi-Gods won the Paragraphe Hugh MacLennan Prize for Fiction. Her first story collection\, Wallflowers\, was shortlisted for the East Anglia Book Award and selected as a New York Times Editor’s Choice. In 2015\, she was named one of five emerging writers for the Writers’ Trust Five x Five program. She lives in Montreal. \n\n\n\nAccessibility:\n\n\n\n\nWearing a mask is encouraged at all D&Q events\n\n\n\nEvent space uses StopGap.ca ramps in an effort to encourage accessibility. Both the step at the entrance\, followed by a half step and a door have StopGap ramps. The door opens inward and is not automated. Once inside\, there are no additional steps.\n\n\n\nIt is not a sober space; our events sometimes offer alcohol
