PWYC.&quot;When the Hittites fought the Egyptians, Stan was there. When King Priam&#x27;s pregnant daughter fled the sack of Troy, Stan was there. When Yeshu of Nazareth was crucified, Stan was there - one cross over. He&#x27;s been a toy maker in a time of plague, a reluctant rebel in the Peasants&#x27; Revolt of 1381, and an information peddler in the cabarets of post-war Berlin. Stan doesn&#x27;t die, and doesn&#x27;t know why. And now he&#x27;s being investigated for a horrific crime. As Stan tells his story, from his origins as an Anatolian sheep farmer to his custody in a Toronto police interview room, he brings a wry, anachronistic perspective to 3200 years of Eurasian history. CALL ME STAN is the story of a man endlessly adjusting as the world changes around him. It&#x27;s a Biblical epic from the bleachers, a gender fluid operatic love quadrangle, and a touching exploration of what it is to outlive everyone you love. Or almost everyone. &quot;&quot;K. R. Wilson grew up in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, where he obtained a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Calgary. In 2018 his debut novel, An Idea About My Dead Uncle, won the inaugural Guernica Prize for unpublished literary fiction, and was published by Guernica Editions in 2019. He lives in Toronto, Ontario, Canada with his wife and daughter. Call Me Stan: A Tragedy in Three Millennia is his second novel from Guernica Editions.&quot;This event is supported by the National Public Readings Program, through The Writer&#x27;s Union of Canada and the Canada Council for the Arts.
