WORDS: Last year, debut novelist Reif Larsen sent the publishing world into a bidding war over his manuscript The Selected Works of T.S. Spivet, with Penguin finally acquiring the copyright for nigh a million dollars. Needless to say success stories like this don’t happen every day, and it’s rumoured the book—a story about a twelve-year-old boy who maps everyday experiences—is worth the hype. At the book launch tonight, Larsen, along with literary personality Claudia Dey, Torontoist’s own Jerad Gallinger and Stephen Michalowicz, and others, will hold forth on cartographic topics related to the book. The Steam Whistle Roundhouse (255 Bremner Boulevard), 8 p.m., $5 or FREE with book purchase.

LECTURE: Still have celebratory (or sorrowful) election bubbly coursing through your veins? President of the White House News Photographers Association Dennis Brack will discuss his experiences as a political photographer, having snapped every president since Lyndon B. Johnson to the present day. He's also had a photo in every issue of Time Magazine for the past twenty-two years straight, so go stuff that in your pipe and smoke it, Flickr. Check him out at the thirty-third annual Ryerson Kodak Lecture Series, tonight. Ted Rogers School of Management (575 Bay Street), 7:30 p.m., FREE.
