Join author Bradley Somer for the Saskatoon launch of his novel We Are All of Us Left Behind (Freehand Books), with guest host Shawn Mooney.
This event will be held live in the Travel Alcove and also available as a simultaneous YouTube stream.
Orphaned and stuck in a one-traffic-light prairie oil town, a young man yearns for a family to belong to and sets out to find his last known living relative, his estranged grandfather, somewhere in Serbia. Armed with nothing but his wit and resourcefulness, he starts his trek, from his hometown on the Canadian plains, across continents and countries, in search of acceptance and family, which he finds, but in the most unexpected people. We Are All of Us Left Behind is a queer coming-of-age story about the powers of truth and lies, of what a family really is, and the persistence of hope when there’s nothing else left.
Bradley Somer is an award-winning novelist whose work has been published in over twenty countries and translated into many languages. His debut, Imperfections, is a darkly satirical examining beauty culture. His second novel, Fishbowl, narrates the lives of the tenants of a high-rise, as seen by a goldfish named Ian, who falls from the top of the building. Extinction, his third novel, is a deeply thematic speculative fiction about poachers hunting the last grizzly bear, and the ranger tasked to save it. And finally, his newest novel is We Are All of Us Left Behind, which is a coming-of-age story and is now available from Freehand Books. Learn more at bradleysomer.com
