Vacationland and Life After Fake News

Although his career as a bestselling author, actor and Daily Show contributor was founded on fake news and invented facts, in 2016 that routine didn’t seem as funny to John Hodgman anymore. Everyone is doing it now. Disarmed of falsehood, Hodgman set off on the hilarious adventures he recounts in his first non-fiction work Vacationland, a travelogue through the wilds of his native New England and the rocky terrain of middle age. Presenting the book in Toronto for the first time, Hodgman will reveal the horror of freshwater clams, the evolutionary purpose of the mustache and the joys and sorrows of facing your forties. Dive into the imagination of one of the most singular voices in contemporary comedy.

Discussion moderated by Globe and Mail Features writer Ian Brown. Post-event book sale and signing to follow.
