Monday

The last 10 days have been a great time to be a film nut, but now Christmas comes early for book nerds as over the next few weeks two of the biggest events of the year take place, starting with next Sunday’s Word on the Street, which will be followed by the start of the International Festival of Authors in mid-October.

This week Torontoist presents extended literary event listings – you get till Sunday the 27th at no additional cost – as I’m out of town until the end of August.

"Rock 'n' Roll novelist" Kevin Hainey (of Toronto) brings zinester Andrew Mall (of Chicago) and poet Jessica Manack (of Pittsburgh) to the Gladstone Hotel (of Toronto) for a Saturday night reading in the Art Bar. The Perpetual Motion Roadshow is "an indie press touring circuit, an unholy combination of a vaudevillian variety show and a punk rock tour." And it's also PWYC. And at 8pm (of EST). There will also be a "puppet-packing satirist" on hand.
