About The November Project:
The November Project is a touring spoken word performance delivered by Robert Horgan in 2-hour segments, sharing the World War II love story from the book “Frank Love Letters”. Robert Horgan recites the WWII love letters between Horgie and Peach-Pie, pairing thus with inter-arts performers.
* “The November Project DocuSeries” will follow Robert Horgan on the Canadian book tour. Horgan will recite the 307 love letters contained in the book“Frank Love Letters,” connect with 48 different communities across Canada, and spark conversations and artistic engagement around vulnerability, war, love and conflict. The DocuSeries will be composed of 48 seasons (7 episodes/season) for a total of 336 episodes.
Other formats: "The November Project Zine” is 16 pages in length and paired with comic-inspired illustrations. It is an abridged version of the full compilation of the book “Frank Love Letters” (totalling 307 love letters).
