Join us at the Librairie
tonight at
7 p.m. for the launch of two new novels from
BookThug:
Polyamorous Love Song by Montreal's own
Jacob Wren and
Air Carnation by
Guadalupe Muro.
The evening will feature readings by both authors, as well as a short acoustic set by Guadalupe Muro, Ana López and Julián Muro - all the way from Argentina, featuring original music from "Songs for Runaway Girls", the soundtrack to
Air Carnation.
