Mock lecture to mark launch of Q & Q review editor's first novel

Nathan Whitlock, the review editor of Quill and Quire magazine, will be presenting a comic mock lecture as part of This is Not a Reading Series. Called "Seven Steps to a Seven Day Novel", the lecture celebrates the release of Whitlocks' first novel A Week of This: A Novel in Seven Days (ECW Press). Songs inspired by the darkly comic tale about the lives of an extended family will be sung by Alex Lukashevsky. It's all at the Gladstone Hotel Ballroom, 1214 Queen Street West, Toronto at 7:30 p.m. (doors open at 7). This is Not a Reading Series is presented by Pages Books & Magazines, ECW Press and EYE weekly.

In addition to Quill, Whitlock has written for maisonneuve, Geist, Saturday Night and Toro.
