Book News: Paul Quarrington reads The Ravine for Lit City June 2, 2009 / / News
www.movingstories.tv … Lit City – Toronto Stories, Toronto Settings – is a three-month citywide celebration of literary Toronto. It commemorates writers who find inspiration in Toronto and use the city as a setting in their work. The series culminated at the 10th anniversary of Doors Open Toronto. Author / musician / filmmaker Paul Quarrington read an excerpt from his novel “The Ravine” at Todmorden Mills: Heritage Museum and Arts Centre followed by a walk in the Don Valley. The valley is a perfect stand-in for the pivotal dramatic event in Quarrington’s tale. His semi-autobiographical character Phil McQuigge is set upon by thugs at a pond just like this, an event that puts him on a life course for the worse.
The Ravine is available in stores and online; Paul’s books, music recordings, and films are featured on his website, paulquarrington.org
