Cathi Bond’s debut novel, Night Town ($18.32, Iguana), is that rare story set in 1970s Toronto – when the Yonge Street strip was the essence of sleaze. In the wake of a family tragedy, small-town teen Maddy, who likes girls more than she thinks she should, starts plundering her father the doctor’s pharmaceuticals, dealing and using, and ends up on the streets of Toronto. Remember Murray’s? Rochdale in its prime? Read all about it. Bond launches Night Town Monday (May 13) at the Imperial Pub. See Readings.
