As an avid imbiber of the written word I’m swirly with giddiness to share the news the Book Drunkard is back. There’s something touching about books, that just doesn’t cut it in the digital realm so although Zoom was a good stand-in, being around pages and people, well, isn’t that what it is about really.
The Book Drunkard Festival takes place in Uxbridge over a couple of weeks from Oct 5 to Nov 14 2022. There are several locations and packages to choose from, and a wide variety of writers to chummy up to too. From the iconic John Irving, and Anne-Marie MacDonald, the intriguingly informative Ted Barris, to the indigenous hockey player Bryan Trottier, all brought to you from the folks at the bestest indie bookstore, Blue Heron Books.
