Walter Scott: Wendy Book Launch

Wed. Nov. 26, 7-9pm.

With a conceptual reading by Prince Innocence.

Art Metropole, 1490 Dundas Street West, Toronto

Wendy is trendy, and has dreams of art stardombut our young urban protagonist is perpetually derailed by the temptations of punk music, drugs, alcohol, parties, and boys. Hegemonies and hearts are broken in this droll and iconoclastic look at the worlds of art and twentysomethings.

Walter Scott is an artist from Montral. His work has been exhibited across Canada and Wendy has been serialized on Random House Canada's literary digital magazine Hazlitt.

This 216-page book, published by Koyama Press, contains previously unpublished material, and is Volume I of the continuing story of Wendy. The artist will be in attendance.

Prince Innocence is a minimal pop band composed of multi-instrumentalist Josh Mcintrye and vocalist Talvi Faustmann. They currently reside in Toronto, Ontario and are working on their second EP which will be released within the next year. They have been featured in publications such as NME, The Fader and Vogue.

"Combine Blondie influences that are sure to make you shiver, the best part of Blouse, the effects a pop diva vibe reminiscent of Class Actress, then make it real dark and glammy and you get Prince Innocence." -newnewblack.tumblr.com
