Sunday Afternoon at the Pender Island Library presents:

Arthur Black, author.

Join Arthur Black, three-time winner of the Stephen Leacock medal for humour, for a lively afternoon!

Arthur Black has lived on Salt Spring Island since 1995, and has made a name for himself with stories about his life. Through both written and spoken word, Black has made many of us marvel at the treasury of life experiences gathered by one man. Black turned to writing because “it was the only job I couldn’t get fired from.”

Arthur writes a weekly newspaper column for 35 papers across Canada, a monthly article for Zoomer Magazine, and a bi-weekly column for CBC. That’s not to say there won’t be another book on the way. “Of course, I’m always working on my books, which are compilations of my other projects.” His latest books include “Paint the town Black” (2015) and “Fifty Shades of Black” (2013).

Admission is free, refreshments by donation.
