Author Event- Mark Blagrave launches “Silver Salts”
Cormorant Books and the Mount Allison Department of English invite you to the launch of “Silver Salts” by Mark Blagrave on Wednesday, May 14th at 4:30 pm at the Owens Art Gallery. Refreshments will be served, and everyone is welcome.
”Silver Salts” tells the story of the early Hollywood film industry through the life of Lillie Dempster, an aspiring actress who gets involved in a production in Saint John, N.B. in the early 1920’s. Mixing fact and fiction, Mark Blagrave deftly creates an historical novel that brings the burgeoning years of twentieth-century Saint John to life. “Silver Salts” is about image and identity, history and imagination.
Mark Blagrave is a Professor of English at Mount Allison University. “Silver Salts” is his first novel.
