Ibi Kaslik

This is novelist Ibi Kaslik.

I recently photographed Ibi for the Prairie Dog. Why? Because she is the writer of the the New York Times bestseller Skinny, she is debuting her second novel Angel Riots, and she is the Regina Public Library Writer In Residence. I would say that is a damn good enough reason.

I have yet to read Angel Riots, but while looking into it, things such as: Montreal, the Stars, love, Broken Social Scene, the prairies, art, family and betrayal all seem to be popping up in the reviews for this "rock and roll novel". (schwing!) But aside from all this....she was great to photograph and just a lovely woman all around.

And if you happen to be in Regina:
