Dimitri Nasrallah has been the editor for Véhicule Press's fiction imprint, Esplanade Books, since 2013. In that time he has initiated a new translation program, working with well-known authors such as Neil Smith and Claire Holden Rothman to translate new Quebecois
fiction for Canadian readers. The initiative has resulted in Esplanade's first-ever nomination for a Governor General's Literary Award. Nasrallah is the author of the novels
<i>Niko</i> (2011, winner of the Hugh MacLennan Prize for Fiction) and <i>Blackbodying</i> (2005, winner of the McAuslan First Book Award). His translation of Éric Plamondon's
<i>Hungary-Hollywood Express</i> was published this year.<br>

The reading is free and all are welcome! Please spread the word.</font><br>
