Last night I had the pleasure of attending the launch of Rana Bose's second novel, The Fourth Canvas at Theatre Lachapelle. Let me explain to you why I so freely use the word "pleasure".- A musical set by cellist Brigitte Mayes and all-things-strings Prasun Lala. Their interpretation of "Love Hurts" was sensational, but their take on "Such Great Heights" still resounds with me today.
- A theatrical setting with spotlights, chairs, and artwork by Siraj Chew-Bose.
- Puff pastry filled with caramelised onions and bacon (I ate it before I knew about the bacon, so sit down vegetarian police!) Thanks Lisa!
- And two readings by Rana Bose, of course.
I begin reading tonight. Stay tuned for more comments.
And for those of you that missed the festivities last night, Rana will also be reading at Paragraphe Bookstore on November 13 @ 7pm before moving on to Quebec City, Toronto and Calgary.

Prasun Lala...never heard of them but am looking them up immediately, love different interpretations especially of those two great songs....and you got BACON too !! LUCKY !! (Napolean Dynamite Style)
Prasun Lala is actually one man, and he plays for various bands here in Mtl.
The set itself was not recorded - but maybe we should start a petition! Put some bacon on the cover of the CD... sweeeet.
Hi - noticed these posts. Thanks! Hopefully we'll put up some of those covers soon - but in the meantime you can hear some original stuff Brigitte and I are doing under the name Horses Vanish here
Thanks again, Prasun
ps - bacon will figure more prominently in the lyrics of subsequent recordings...
Thanks for stopping by, Prasun.
And let's keep the bacon thing hush-hush please. I've already lost a lot of vegetarian cred :)
gotchya - subliminal bacon à la Aux Vivres it is then...
