Book Launch!

Other Men's Sons is finally in print! The launch was at Fire on The East Side's Upper East Side nightclub. Below is a photograph of me being introduced by my publisher, Marc Cote of Cormorant Books.




Thanks to the many, many friends and colleagues who made it out to the launch, including Doubleday Canada's Tim Rostron (left) and Q&Q reviewer Robert Meynell (right)



and their wives,



poet Consuelo Jackman and television producer Samantha Linton.

I wish there had been more photographs of this event so that I could remember everyone who came. Book launches for me are a little bit like weddings. If you're the bride or the groom, you remember snapshots of the event, but a good deal of it is a blur. What I do remember is reading an excerpt from the title essay, getting through it in one piece, thunderous applause, then a sequence of hugs and congratulations and a lot of signing.

Altogether an excellent way to spend an evening.
