Internationally acclaimed author Robert Sedlack will be the special guest at the Flin Flon-Creighton Public Library tonight. The Calgary-born writer is scheduled to read excerpts from his latest novel, The Horn Of A Lamb, from 7-9 p.m. The book tells the story of Fred Pickle, a brain injury victim whose world falls apart with the announcement that the owner of his local NHL team is moving the franchise. Torn between the law-abiding influence of his caregiver uncle and the radical urgings of Badger, an elderly anarchist, Pickle must decide whether a plot of vengeance against the owner is a path to independence or oblivion. Sedlack's first novel, The African Safari Papers, received international praise and The Globe and Mail named it the best book of 2001. Popular Canadian comedian Rick Mercer called the debut novel "hysterically funny and darkly comic" while playwright and author Timothy Findley said Sedlack "knows how to keep a reader reading."
