Here are a few upcoming literary events in NB this month:

Seven Gates: A Memoir of a Descent, at 8 pm, at La Teraz Art Gallery, 154

On September 23, in Fredericton, Allan Donaldson will launch his literary
mystery, The Case Against Owen Williams (Nimbus Publishing) at 7:00pm at
Westminster Books.

Allan Donaldson's 2005 debut novel, MacLean, was a harrowing, literal day in
the life of a shell-shocked, alcoholic WWI veteran searching for booze and a
birthday gift for his mother. It was shortlisted for the prestigious Rogers
Writers' Trust Fiction Prize. Donaldson's follow-up novel is a venture into
lliterary mystery ."The Case Against Owen Williams" tells the story of Owen
Williams, a quiet soldier stationed with a garrison of conscripted men
dubbed "the Zombies," who are unwilling to serve overseas. When a teenage
girl is found dead in a gravel pit after a dance, Owen Williams was the last
person reported to have seen her. What follows is a novel that "explores the
circumstances of a wrongful conviction and the gaps in the justice system
that allow it to flourish.
