Reena Failure

As part of each hand as they are called, her Luminato project celebrating the history of Jewish life in Kensington Market, artist Reena Katz was to organize a game of Mah Jongg between seniors from the Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Care and grade eight students from Ryerson Community Public School. (Mah Jongg is "a game that originated in China, migrated west, and was popularized with North American Jewish women during the 1920s.")

Torontoist has liked Linda McQuaig since we first saw her work - that brilliant cameo on the Newsroom a few seasons back. There was Peter Keleghan wanting to talk about 'Shooting the Hippo,' and Canada's Larry David, Ken Finkleman, foppishly inviting her on the show because he thought she was cute. Both actors looked silly next to McQuaig. We're aware of her other work, the bestselling treatises on this, that and the other, but, well, we don't actually read. Much. So tonight's U of T sponsored McQuaig fest might be the perfect opportunity to get off the proverbial couch, and into the highly politicized reading room. McQuaig will be reading from her new book, 'It's the Crude, Dude,' and the audience will be silently promising itself never to drive a car again. Complicity killed the cat!
