The second event this weekend is a reading by Charles Foran from his new book, Mordecai: The Life and Times.
Foran, who was born and raised in Toronto, has had a prolific writing career so it’s no surprise that Mordecai: The Life and Times has received rave reviews. When writing it, Foran was given access to previously restricted material, and he later had the book looked over by Florence, Mordecai Richler’s widow.
When: Sunday, February 27 at 7:00pm
Where: The Curtain Club in Richmond Hill
