Nerys Parry said "yes" to attending the event: Tackling Taboos in Toronto
5180691
date: April 21, 2012 07:00PM
location: Academy of the Impossible, 231 Wallace Avenue, Toronto, ON, Canada
description: Riding on the heels of the super success of Tackling Taboos in Ottawa at Mother Tongue Bookstore (click here for a post on the event), ‘the three’ are now heading down Toronto-way to the exciting Academy of the Impossible to again discuss those things that shouldn’t be mentioned at dinner. We’ll be reading from our books and again sharing our views on the controversial issues explored in our novels, and talk about why telling an honest story–no matter how taboo–is important to us all.
