I don’t get excited for my birthday or Christmas. I DO get excited whenever there’s mail from @invisibooks.bsky.social. The redesign is fresh and lovely. So looking forward to reading this. #canlit

Had a really fun day with @agpasquella.bsky.social hitting up a bunch of indie bookstores in Toronto and managed to have enough self-control to only buy one book. 😂

Montreal! I'll be in town two weeks from now to launch A Nation of Tinkerers at Système on September 3rd! Join me in conversation w/ local artist and educator Peggy Hogan to explore the book's themes and tales of overlooked figures from Canada’s rich electronic music history.

It takes place September 3 at 8:30 p.m. at Systeme, 7119 Saint-Hubert.

We caught up with music journalist Michael Rancic, author of a new book on Canada’s contributions to electronic music, to talk about the techno side of CanCon, our national aptitude for tinkering and why turning knobs can be just as artistic as playing instruments

I spoke with @therewasnosound.bsky.social about A Nation of Tinkerers, his new history of Canadian electronic music out today with @invisibooks.bsky.social

It's a crucial addition to the CanCon literary canon, and (by necessity) goes far beyond what we might consider electronic music today

Lakeside, looking over proofs of the 10th anniversary edition of The Utility of Boredom. I've written a new introduction and we've done a bit of tidying on the original text. New cover, too. It'll be available from @invisibooks.bsky.social wherever you get books October 13th.

A laptop on a table next to a beer can and a sweating cup. Visible on the laptop's screen is the title page of The Utility of Boredom: Baseball Essays by Andrew Forbes. A thick screen of trees behind the table obscures a lake.Said title page, made bigger and clearer.

A century-old novel that anticipates A Room of One's Own by three years and is so good that I'm surprised there's never been a Virago edition. Fortunately, our own @invisibooks.bsky.social has made it available again.
