The Sun Makes a Sound
The story is like Life of Pi (Yann Martel) meets Lost (TV series), or The Beach (Alex Garland) meets Fight Club (Chuck Palahniuk), with the tone of a modern, post-colonial Franz Kafka, or Cormac McCarthy on acid. The tradition of Latino magical realism from Jorge Luis Borges and Gabriel Garcia Marquez is uprooted, remixed, and firmly re-planted into Canadian soil.

The Bibliobandido Book Bandit is HUNGRY for children's stories. Courageous readers and writers, we need your help!
About Bibliobandido: Bibliobandido is a public artwork and literacy movement by artist Marisa Morán Jahn. The project began twelve years ago as a collaboration between Jahn and the community of El Pital, in rural Honduras. According to the legend they created, Bibliobandido is a masked bandit who eats stories and playfully pesters little kids to feed him stories they’ve written.

The Guest List by Lisa Foley.
"On an island off the coast of Ireland, guests gather to celebrate two people joining their lives together as one... The cell phone service may be spotty and the waves may be rough, but every detail has been expertly planned and will be expertly executed. But perfection is for plans, and people are all too human. As the champagne is popped and the festivities begin, resentments and petty jealousies begin to mingle with the reminiscences and well wishes. The groomsmen begin the drinking game from their school days. The bridesmaid not-so-accidentally ruins her dress. The bride's oldest (male) friend gives an uncomfortably caring toast. And then someone turns up dead. Who didn't wish the happy couple well? And perhaps more important, why?"
A limited number of The Guest List by Lisa Foley are available at Regent Place Library, otherwise reserve your copy here....
