Descant congratulates Pasha Malla on the launch of his first collection of short fiction, The Withdrawal Method (House of Anansi Press). Pasha played a vital role in developing Now Hear This!, our literary outreach program, so we are urging all attend his book launch at the Gladstone Hotel (details posted below). Pasha will deliver a solo multimedia presentation featuring the journals he kept during high school. Have his thematic concerns changed much during the intervening years? Or does an adolescent’s obsession with sex last a lifetime? The evening will conclude with a dance party featuring live DJ sets.
