Join This Is Not a Reading Series for a celebration of Geoff Berner—songwriter, touring accordionist, and now author. His first novel, Festival Man: Sex, Drink and Accordions, follows the drunken stumbling of band manager Campbell Ouiniette through the Canadian music industry. Abandoned by his top headlining act, he devises a scheme to redeem himself with his girlfriend and his peers. Writer/musician Dave Bidini will be on hand to help launch the book and to discuss its dark, silly, and eye-opening aspects.
