Thomas Pichon Comes to Halifax
Thomas Pichon lived 300 years ago, but if you’re in Halifax this Saturday, June 7, you can meet him.
The Maze, historian A.J.B. Johnston’s latest novel, is a fictionalized account of Thomas Pichon’s life, set in 18th-century France and England. Thomas and Hélène are the key characters, lovers who find themselves forced to leave Paris for London. And this Saturday you’ll be able to meet them. Two costumed actors from Fortress Louisbourg will offer a preview of the novel and a special price in two local independent bookstores to people they meet downtown. But there’s a catch. The deal is in return for posting a selfie with the characters. And if you don’t have a smartphone, we’ll be there to take a pic for you.
