Letters to Elyse*

I mentioned to everyone I met this week (and on the Now blog) just how much I loved hearing Elyse Friedman read a short story at the House of Anansi 40th Anniversary party at the IFOA. I spend a lot of time at literary events making sure my dates have enough alcohol and are kept entertained during the boring bits, and Elyse kept us both spine-straight and clutching our guts.

Thanks to Patchy Squirrel List-serve for the reminder! I will definitely walk out my door and across the park for this one:

Freedom to Read Week – February 22 to 28

Freedom to Read Week 2009 runs from February 22-28 and is Organized by the Book and Periodical Council’s Freedom of Expression Committee.

In 2009 we will mark a milestone in the fight for intellectual freedom in Canada as Freedom to Read Week, the country’s only volunteer-run celebration of this cause, observes its 25th anniversary. Initiated by the Freedom of Expression Committee (FOE) of the Book and Periodical Council (BPC) to raise awareness of censorship issues, freedom of expression and access to Canadian books and periodicals, the first Freedom to Read Week was launched in1984 by a small but dedicated group of publishing activists.
