Debra Anderson, Pat Capponi and I did a second QWTW event, this one a lunchtime event at George Brown College in Toronto and co-sponsored by the Positive Space Committee, the Assaulted Women’s and Children’s Counsellor/Advocate Program and General Education and Access.
Once again, I appreciated reading with these wonderful writers and responding to audience questions. Debra read excerpts from Code White, her novel about a dyke who is institutionalized in a mental health hospital. Pat read from This Stop Sunnyside, her mystery set in Parkdale.
I read scenes about Shaffiq’s fascination with reading confidential case files left on desks and Nasreen’s pseudo-therapeutic interactions with her boss. We’re scheduled to do another event like this, sometime in April for Queer Health Matters. Stay tuned…
