Erratic Meanderings of the Human Heart: An Evening with Carellin Brooks and Michael V. Smith
June 30, 7:00 PM-8:30 PM
Central Branch, Vancouver Public Library
Join local queer authors Carellin Brooks and Michael V. Smith as they read from their new works, One Hundred Days of Rain and My Body Is Yours. Brooks’ novel covers the depressing aftermath of a love gone sour, as chronicled in a hundred different sorts of the city’s noted downpours. Smith chronicles a different sort of decline – his father’s – and simultaneously explores the often-compulsive sexuality that brings him over and over to the city’s outdoor spaces. Together, both writers trace the erratic meanderings of the human heart, enmeshed in their mutual fierce love for a Vancouver that doesn’t quite fit into the usual postcard imagery.
Presented in partnership with BookThug.

Sigmund Freud and the Psychoanalytic Tradition: One Day @ UBC Oct 20
What did Sigmund Freud really say about women, children, homosexuality and the possibility or impossibility of satisfaction in life and love? Find out how burnt porridge, a purse’s clasp, or a sore throat can reveal the secrets people try hardest to hide, and judge for yourself whether psychoanalysis continues to offer us a map for the human condition.
I taught this course October 20 for a full day at the University of British Columbia’s Ike Barber Learning Centre in beautiful Vancouver.
