DESCRIPTION:How do writers come up with the ideas and stories that end up a
 s novels so gripping that we can鈥檛 put them down? How do they get their wo
 rk noticed by a publisher\, especially when an author has a day job in ano
 ther field? Join us for a chat with Dr. Liam Durcan\, a fellow 9I制作厂免费ian w
 ho has successfully juggled a literary career with the demands of being a 
 full-time neurologist at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital\
 , 9I制作厂免费 Health Centre\, and the Queen Elizabeth Health Complex
 . Liam Durcan was trained at the University of Manitoba and 9I制作厂免费 Univers
 ity.\n\nWhat an opportunity\, you might even pick up a few pointers on how
  to bring your own ideas to the printed page鈥n\nFollowing on the success 
 of Garc铆a鈥檚 Heart\, a Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers selection 
 for which Dr. Durcan received the Arthur Ellis Best First Novel Award (htt
 p://blpress.org/authors/liam-durcan/)\, Liam has just launched his second 
 novel\, The Measure of Darkness. Quoting critic Norman Doidge\, 鈥淭he Measu
 re of Darkness seems\, at first\, to be about the mysterious odyssey and f
 ollies of a man with a rare neurological syndrome in which the victim cann
 ot perceive half of the world\, and worse\, doesn鈥檛 know that he can鈥檛 per
 ceive it. Yet\, as Liam Durcan鈥檚 acutely observed\, powerfully poetic pros
 e鈥攚hich can be sensitive or steely鈥攂uilds to a gut-wrenching finale\, we r
 ealize that this man is a metaphor for each of us and we are all haunted b
 y the things we don鈥檛 know.鈥漒n\nFollowing the lecture please join us for a
  wine and cheese reception with Dr. Durcan and members of the 9I制作厂免费 Socie
 ty of Montreal. Dr. Durcan will be available to sign your copy of his book
