LET THEM EAT CAKE!

The House of Anansi Press hosted a fun-filled, star-studded event at Harbourfront Centre's Premiere Dance Theatre on Saturday night (Oct 20). The mammoth 2 1/2 hour extravaganza showcased Anansi talent past, present and future. Host Albert Schultz delighted the audience with a sharp, funny and Anansi-anecdote-stuffed speech as one by one authors Margaret Atwood, Roch Carrier, Graeme Gibson, Elyse Friedman, Shani Mootoo, Kevin Connolly and A.L. Kennedy took to the stage.

There was music by Jason Collett, and a giant birthday cake was sliced and served to one and all (sadly, there were no birthday candles).
