SUMMARY:Bread and Stone book launch @ Counter-Congress 2024
DESCRIPTION:Join Black Rose Books for an afternoon of author talks and the book launch of our forthcoming title Bread and Stone by Allan Weiss\, a gripping novel set amidst the 1919 Winnipeg General Strike as part of Counter-Congress 2024. \nORDER OF EVENTS Come for the entire afternoon or just for the book launch. We’d love to see you! \n3:00 pm: Prof. Marie Josée Lavalée of the Université de Montréal will discuss Different Shades of Red\, a book dealing with the vast variety of socialist thought that exists and that has existed. \n4:00 pm: Prof. Andras Gollner of Concordia University will give a talk on the current situation in Hungary and on the book The Forgotten Revolution\, dealing with the Hungarian socialist revolution in 1919. \n5:00 pm: Professor Allan Weiss of York University will launch Bread and Stone\, a gripping novel set amidst the 1919 Winnipeg General Strike. Expect wine and cheese! \nAbout Bread and Stone: William McLean is an Alberta farm boy seeking the work that he believes God has put him on Earth to do. Returning from World War I in a crisis of conscience\, he finds his calling when he is drawn into Winnipeg’s labour movement by his army buddy Daniel Eckersley. As unrest mounts and the authorities respond with force\, William finds himself in the midst of an upheaval that could mean freedom — or destitution — for all. \nIn Bread and Stone\, Allan Weiss skillfully combines the story of one of the most dramatic real events in Canadian history\, the Winnipeg General Strike\, with the spiritual journey of a young man growing to understand who he is\, who he is becoming\, and what it is that he must do. \nAllan Weiss is a Toronto fiction writer and Professor of English at York University. He was born in Montreal and moved to Toronto to pursue his doctoral studies after completing his BA and MA at Concordia University. He is the author of three story cycles: Living Room (2001)\, Making the Rounds (2016)\, and Telescope (2019). Other short stories\, both realist and fantastic\, have appeared in various anthologies and magazines\, including Fiddlehead\, Wascana Review\, On Spec\, and the Tesseracts anthology series. His latest story\, “A Tartan of Many Colors\,” was published recently in the anthology Other Covenants: Alternate Histories of the Jewish People. \nFACEBOOK EVENT\nhttps://www.facebook.com/share/w5PncSihKZzkGABh \nABOUT BLACK ROSE BOOKS’ COUNTER-CONGRESS 2024\nhttps://www.eventbrite.ca/e/counter-congress-2024-tickets-884288248957
