John LeBaron Book Launch

Join us at Brome Lake Books on Saturday, 25 June, 2022 at 2 p.m., when JOHN LEBARON will be launching his book It Was Only A Movie.

It Was Only a Movie was written to raise a laugh about awkward foibles of a stripling growing up in Québec’s Eastern Townships of the 1940s and 50s, in particular about the social and linguistic pratfalls of an adolescent emerging unilingually into adulthood and then spending much of his adulthood in the United States, trying to turn himself from a francophony into some semblance of a francophone.

With his wife and dog (ranked in that order), John splits his residence between North Hatley, Québec and Acton, Massachusetts. John attended elementary school in Sherbrooke, completing high school in Massachusetts. He earned his BA from McGill University and completed his graduate studies at the University of Massachusetts. He has taught in several countries from middle school through university.

It Was Only A Movie is available as a paperback at Brome Lake Books in Knowlton.
