Smart\, compassionate\, and unsparing\, Rafael Has Pretty Eyes explores the absurdity and interconnectedness of a life adrift. These 17 new stories feature characters who exhibit the Murphy’s law tendancies often pervasive in Maritimers: that feeling of dread often presaging something going horribly\, unpredictably wrong.Books will be available for purchase courtesy of Bookmark Halifax. \n“You go through life convinced you’re going to get diabetes like your old man and one day you choke to death on chicken gristle\, and the autopsy shows your blood sugars were perfect.” -Rafael Has Pretty Eyes \n“McCluskey is the Queen of Invention. The endless sharp observations about surprisingly mobile modern-day life in the Maritimes are pointed and pungent; the book positively percolates with energy\, wit and precision.” — Calgary Herald \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/328912529261564/ URL:https://atlanticbooks.ca/events/book-launch-rafael-has-pretty-eyes LOCATION:Halifax Central Library\, Halifax Central Library ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://atlanticbooks.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/46379_image_275669425_7066810546726881_7133580473899618053_n-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20220401T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20220401T113000 DTSTAMP:20260406T224250 CREATED:20220402T015320Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220402T015320Z UID:46952-1648812600-1648812600@atlanticbooks.ca SUMMARY:Let's Get Writing\, Season 4\, Episode 28 DESCRIPTION:My guest today is Olivia Robinson\, author of The Blue Moth Motel. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/699888214481313/ URL:https://atlanticbooks.ca/events/lets-get-writing-season-4-episode-28 LOCATION:Online Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://atlanticbooks.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/46952_image_277299025_456687469479146_628994845939807201_n.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Moncton:20220401T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Moncton:20220401T220000 DTSTAMP:20260406T224250 CREATED:20220319T015323Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220403T015326Z UID:46528-1648839600-1648850400@atlanticbooks.ca SUMMARY:Soirée de filles du Salon du livre d'Edmundston DESCRIPTION:Passez un moment inoubliable avec vos copines lors de cette soirée remplie de rires\, d’émotions\, de douceur et bien entendu\, de livres!Billets en vente au Centre des Arts d’Edmundston et à la librairie Matulu. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/675858363457989/ URL:https://atlanticbooks.ca/events/soiree-de-filles-du-salon-du-livre-dedmundston LOCATION:Centre des arts d’Edmundston\, Centre des arts d'Edmundston ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://atlanticbooks.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/46528_image_275787363_5121380221257678_6654304167426081643_n.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Moncton:20220402T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Moncton:20220402T120000 DTSTAMP:20260406T224250 CREATED:20220320T015322Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220403T015325Z UID:46541-1648890000-1648900800@atlanticbooks.ca SUMMARY:Déjeuner littéraire du Salon du livre d'Edmundston DESCRIPTION:Venez prendre votre petit déjeuner en compagnie d’une belle brochette d’auteurs qui vous feront découvrir des extraits de leurs oeuvres.Billets en vente au Centre des Arts d’Edmundston et à la librairie Matulu. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/751140506271654/ URL:https://atlanticbooks.ca/events/dejeuner-litteraire-du-salon-du-livre-dedmundston LOCATION:Centre de congrès Edmundston Convention Centre\, Centre de congrès Edmundston Convention Centre ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://atlanticbooks.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/46541_image_275966155_5121406401255060_3615456051846978141_n.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20220402T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20220402T100000 DTSTAMP:20260406T224250 CREATED:20220328T015359Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220328T015359Z UID:46843-1648893600-1648893600@atlanticbooks.ca SUMMARY:Causerie avec Sylvain Rivière DESCRIPTION:Causerie avec Sylvain Rivière animée par Amélie Boivin Handfield \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/400336788569045/ URL:https://atlanticbooks.ca/events/causerie-avec-sylvain-riviere LOCATION:Online Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://atlanticbooks.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/46843_image_277520971_5149196818476018_7662246830391172159_n.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
