Join us for a fascinating night of conversation as authors Ray Robertson and Alex Pugsley discuss their new books.
Estates Large and Small by Ray Robertson
Profound, perceptive, and wryly observed, Estates Large and Small is the story of one man’s reckoning and an ardent defense of the shape books make in a life.
What decades of rent increases and declining readership couldn’t do, a pandemic finally did: Phil Cooper has reluctantly closed his secondhand bookstore and moved his business online. Smoking too much pot and listening to too much Grateful Dead, he suspects that he’s overdue when it comes to understanding the bigger picture of who he is and what we’re all doing here. So he’s made another decision: to teach himself 2,500 years of Western philosophy.
Shimmer by Alex Pugsley
In ten vividly told stories, Shimmer follows characters through relationships, within social norms, and across boundaries of all kinds as they shimmer into and out of each other’s lives.
Outside a 7-Eleven, teen boys Veeper and Wendell try to decide what to do with their night, though the thought of the rest of their lives doesn’t seem to have occurred to them. In Laurel Canyon, two movie stars try to decide if the affair they’re having might mean they like each other. When Byron, trying to figure out the chords of a song he likes, posts a question on a guitar website, he ends up meeting Jessica as well, a woman with her own difficult music. And when the snide and sharp-tongued Twyla agrees to try therapy, not even she would have imagined the results.
This program is presented in partnership with Words Worth Books.

Every year we take the time to reflect on the data, numbers and subsequent actions of the prior year that make up the whole of our network – the seeds, roots, trees and leaves of our forest. This April, Sustainable Waterloo Region is inviting you to take a moment, sit in the shade with us, and take a look at the beautiful forest that we are planting and tending together at our Evening of Recognition.
The evening will be full of networking opportunities, live music, food, drink and more! Of course, we will also be presenting awards to sustainability leaders of the region, the individuals and organizations who have gone above and beyond to implement sustainability projects, strategies and movements.
Everyone is welcome to join, however space is limited so register soon!
Looking forward to seeing you there.
