Michael Hingston is books columnist for the Edmonton Journal, former SFU the Peak staffer, and brand new novelist. He’s recently released his first novel, The Dilletantes (Freehand Books, a funny, real life reference packed campus novel focusing on the post-irony students who are trying to save the Peak from Metro and the indifference of their readers.
The Vancouver launch of the Dillettantes is Oct 4, 6:30pm at Pulp Fiction Books. Listen to a review today (Sept 25, 5pm) on the Arts Report. His website is michaelhingston.com
From the many Q&A’s with Hingston, we know he started the novel while still in school, and followed a strict schedule of words per day from 2008-20011. We know he loves the “campus novel” genre, and that he thought the genre was missing one centred on the campus newspaper. And we know while the characters are amalgamations, many names, events, locations and atmospheric details are very, very real. As a SFU and Peak alum, Arts Dir Maegan has a few other questions for Hingston. (more…)
