McSweeney's editor Eggers speaking in Toronto Tuesday night

The founder and editor of McSweeney's, the quarterly magabook which many of you have probably admired for its quirky charm and audacity, is speaking in Toronto on Tuesday, if you're in town. He is a guest of This is Not a Reading Series, presented by Pages Books & Magazines, Vintage Canada and EYE weekly.

Eggers, the author of four books, and perhaps best known for his first, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, is talking about his latest, a trade paperback edition of What is the What, a "novelized autobiography" of a Sudanese war refugee.

The event is at St Barnabas Anglican Church, 361 Danforth Ave (At Chester), Tues Nov 27, 8pm (doors 7:30pm) Tickets $5 at Pages Books & Magazines (you have to pick them up yourself; no phone or online orders). For more information, This Is Not A Reading Series: Chris Reed, (416)598-1447, tinars@pagesbooks.ca
