Nix Wadden, former RA Photo Club communications chair and newsletter editor, will be signing copies of his new book, Gower Street, at Coles in Billings Bridge, Saturday, Nov. 28, from 1 to 3 p.m.
Published by Flanker Press in St. John’s, Nfld., Gower Street ($19.95) is described as a wryly amusing account of growing up in Newfoundland from the 1930s, through wartime in the 1940s, and in the dramatic years leading up to and following Confederation in 1949. A wistful remembrance of bygone days, with tales of youthful adventures amid a veritable who’s who of memorable personalities of that era. Noted St. John’s broadcaster Pete Soucy commented: “It is beautifully written … a joy to read … you have a real style and a gift for humour which I think people will always appreciate.”
Nix Wadden served as editor of the RAPC Newsletter (1996-2006), mounted a nine-year photographic showcase featuring works of RA Photo Club photographers at the National Press Club of Canada, and authored the 2014 RA Photo Club’s Souvenir history booklet, Celebrating 75 Years. Copies of his first book, Yesterday’s News, covering his journalistic career in Newfoundland, were signed and sold at an RAPC meeting in 2008.
