DESCRIPTION:How do writers come up with the ideas and stories that end up a
 s novels so gripping that we can’t put them down? How do they get their wo
 rk noticed by a publisher\, especially when an author has a day job in ano
 ther field? Join us for a chat with Dr. Liam Durcan\, a fellow 91������ian w
 ho has successfully juggled a literary career with the demands of being a 
 full-time neurologist at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital\
 , 91������ Health Centre\, and the Queen Elizabeth Health Complex
 . Liam Durcan was trained at the University of Manitoba and 91������ Univers
 ity.\n\nWhat an opportunity\, you might even pick up a few pointers on how
  to bring your own ideas to the printed page…\n\nFollowing on the success 
 of García’s Heart\, a Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers selection 
 for which Dr. Durcan received the Arthur Ellis Best First Novel Award (htt
 p://blpress.org/authors/liam-durcan/)\, Liam has just launched his second 
 novel\, The Measure of Darkness. Quoting critic Norman Doidge\, “The Measu
 re of Darkness seems\, at first\, to be about the mysterious odyssey and f
 ollies of a man with a rare neurological syndrome in which the victim cann
 ot perceive half of the world\, and worse\, doesn’t know that he can’t per
 ceive it. Yet\, as Liam Durcan’s acutely observed\, powerfully poetic pros
 e—which can be sensitive or steely—builds to a gut-wrenching finale\, we r
 ealize that this man is a metaphor for each of us and we are all haunted b
 y the things we don’t know.”\n\nFollowing the lecture please join us for a
  wine and cheese reception with Dr. Durcan and members of the 91������ Socie
 ty of Montreal. Dr. Durcan will be available to sign your copy of his book
