Stan Dragland Reading at Supermarket

A launch for Stan Dragland's novel, The Drowned Lands (Pedlar Press, 2008), is at Supermarket, 286 Agusta Avenue, Toronto on Tuesday, April 1 at 7:30 p.m.

"The Drowned Lands moves like a river: muscular, graceful, full of force and depth. Here is a coming-of-age story of three young friends, set in a small Ontario town in the early 1900s. The characters are bristling with intelligence and charm; they are as real and true as can be. Dragland has Cormac McCarthy’s gentle humour and affinity for
magnificent landscapes, and, like Virginia Woolf, an ability to pierce the most intimate thoughts of his characters. Here is emotion as fast-flickering and dazzling as sunlight on water. The Drowned Lands is a deeply affecting story, beautifully told.
