About this event
LearningEveryone is welcome to join for the launch of TMU librarian Reece Steinberg's book Ghost Town Trips, collecting work originally published between 2006 and 2016 as zines.
From hopping trains to British Columbia ghost towns, to canoe-camping on the Yukon River, to hitchhiking in rural Syria: Reece’s travels have taken him to off-grid places few people get to see. Traveling without a cell phone, high-tech gear, or much cash, Reece relies on paper maps and the kindness of strangers. His search for abandoned spaces brings him together with everyone from the Syrian uncle who led him to a rural backyard castle, to a gold prospector raging at the world.
The launch will include a reading, author interview by TMU Tourism, Hospitality and Event Management associate professor Dr. Julie Kellershohn, and an intro to zine-making featuring TMU Library DME staff member Elie Assaf.
