Twigg Book

Hey -- just remembered I promised to load an image pertaining to the new Shadbolt fellow ...

Here's my favourite book by Alan Twigg, as chronicled a day or two ago:

(Cheesy image quality thanks to the rotters at the Anvil Press site.)

A better image is this one, of the masthead of BC Bookworld. Twigg is a friend to all authors in British Columbia, having gathered an on-line compendium of some 8000 names of writers from this province. BC Bookworld is known to riders of ferries and denizens of bookstores throughout the province as a leading journal chronicling the chaotic existence of people who make their living in the realm of words. It's a great read.

50th Post!

Hey -- just realized this is my 50th blog posting. I guess it's become a habit, eh?

News today about author, BC Book world editor and all round nice guy Alan Twigg...

He's not only the most recent recipient of the Shadbolt Fellowship for the Humanities from SFU, he's been named writer in residence at the George Price Centre for Peace in Belize city. Twigg has written a dozen books on Belize and Cuba and is now working on a book about the relationship between founder of Belize George Price and former PM Pierre Trudeau. It's an interesting story, but I'm not going to tell you more -- you have to go check it out at Alan's website: www.alantwigg.com

As appealing as his books about far away and warm places may be, my favourite Twigg title is INTENSIVE CARE and it tells the story of Alan's dual with a brain tumour. Guess who won?

My computer is driving me crazy tonight, but I will try to post a picture of Alan and or one of his books tomorrow.

Currently reading MISS WYOMING by Douglas Coupland, interspersed with pithy quips from George Carlin's WHEN WILL JESUS BRING THE PORK CHOPS?.
