A marine engineer by first trade, André Narbonne was living out of his duffel bag when he arrived in Halifax on a damaged tanker in the mid-eighties. He completed two degrees in English at Dalhousie University – where he was a Killam Scholar – and his Ph.D. in Canadian literature at the University of Western Ontario. He is a former chair of the Halifax chapter of the Canadian Poetry Association. His short stories have won the Atlantic Writing Competition, the FreeFall Prose Contest, and the David Adams Richards Prize and were anthologized in Best Canadian Stories. He teaches English & Creative Writing at the University of Windsor and is the fiction editor of the Windsor Review. His latest book, Lucien & Olivia was long-listed for the 2022 Scotiabank Giller Prize.

In this episode, Andre refers to "Alistair." Of course, in this region, that can only mean the late Alistair MacLeod, author of No Great Mischief, and a much-missed professor at the University of Windsor.
Andre also mentions Casey Plett's excellent novel Little Fish. Information on that book is here: https://arsenalpulp.com/Books/L/Little-Fish
TW: there is a mention of suicide in the interview
We have a new segment on our show this season. Occasionally, we’ll introduce enterprising local authors with some information about them and their books – and perhaps a short reading by them. In this episode, we’re sharing a reading by Edmond Gagnon.
