Tonight, I listened to a writer
named Evan Munday read on a Tuesday.
Good. Now
that I have the pun out of my system, I will say this in all seriousness
-Toronto writer and cartoonist Evan Munday is an incredible pubilc reader.
I'm already following his blog - I don't like Mundays (particularly
his year's-best-of-lists) - but to hear him read from his Dead Kids Detective Agency
series tonight at Ottawa's ChiSeries was an
asbolute joy.
From
doing asides about the Green Hornet character to describing undead kids trying to
get the main character, October Schwartz, off a burning ship, he hit the
comedic beats repeatedly. And it's a Young Adult series, which makes me guilty
of having the sense of humour of a 12 year old.
Munday
read from Loyalist to a Fault: The Dead Kids Detective Agency
3 to a crowd of over 40 audience members. His fellow scribes
were the very talented Yves Meynard (who has published over 20 novels including Chrysanthe)
and Linda Poitevin (the Grigori
Legacy series).
