"Reading and Libraries in an Electronic World"
 EVAN SOLOMON

 London / London Convention Center
 Wed., Oct. 11
 Buffet, Ballroom from 6 pm / Lecture, Theatre at 8 pm

 EVAN SOLOMON, co-founder and executive director of Shift magazine, is
 the brilliant host, analyst and social commentator of the award-winning

CBC NewsWorld programs, Fast Forward and Hot Type. His fresh
viewpoint, intellectual acumen and dazzling breadth of knowledge
captivate the incredible range of people he has met and interviewed. His

essays for the Magazine and other CBC programs are never less than
thought-provoking and rewarding. He is as effective interviewing Harry
Potter's creator, J.K. Rowlings, and of the children who read her books
as
he is with the giants of criticism and literature, such as Susan Sontag.

Having worked as a journalist in Hong Kong for the South China Morning
Post and reported throughout Asia and Europe, Evan has a legitimate
range of experience and a global perspective that further enhances his
incisive insights into the social, technological and cultural world we
inhabit. This is the mind that conceived Shift magazine and he has only
begun.
