Kate Story: Blasted
Monday September 8, 2008  7pm
Literary

There'll be magic, music and mayhem when Ontario performance artist Kate Story brings her first novel, Blasted, to Bear River with a reading at Oakdene Centre Coffee House.

Story is well-known in central Ontario for her theatre, dance and film work and has twice been nominated for the Ontario Arts Council's K.M. Hunter Artist Award. While this is her first novel, Story's short stories have been published in Broken Pencil and Kiss Machine magazines, and her written works have been produced as plays, performance art pieces, and theatre-dance productions in Ontario and Newfoundland.

Blasted is the story of Ruby Jones, a young Newfoundlander lurching between love affairs and cities and haunted by the mysteries that surround her father and generations before. Steeped in Newfoundland folklore, the book layers the mundane and the magical as it explores the contrasts and conflicts between generations, geographies, and contemporary life in Southside St. John's and Queen Street Toronto.
