Toronto's favourite literary salon, as hoc and sneakily wonderful.

What people are saying about ANS:

"Now more ad hoc than ever!"

"This is our Paris."

"So, so lovely."

"Finally."

This month featuring:

JESS TAYLOR: writer of poetry and prose, teacher of same, literary impresario, kind of magical; also the youngest ever winner of the National Magazine Award for Fiction.

STEPHEN THOMAS: wickedly creative and funny and charming in ways that are hard to describe but terrifically compelling.

RAVEN SHIELDS: thoughtful and melodic and a total joy to be around and hear play music; life-affirming.

CLAIRE CALDWELL: poet, editorial assistant, kid wrangler and general badass; can't believe we're really going to hear her, live.
