Geist co-founder Stephen Osborne's new book "The Coincidence Problem"

Michael Hayward

Geist co-founder Stephen Osborne has a new book coming out in October from Arsenal Pulp Press. The Coincidence Problem: Selected Dispatches 1999-2022 launches on October 10th at 7:00 pm, at People’s Co-op Books, 1391 Commercial Drive in Vancouver.

To quote from the book’s cover, “The Coincidence Problem brings together Osborne’s dispatches covering a wide range of subjects, from civic monuments to global terrorism, the lynching of Indigenous youth Louie Sam, end times in the Arctic, and yes, even cats. A modern flaneur, he investigates the city, translates the ordinary, and deflates the pretentious.”

Every Geist reader will want a copy! Space at the launch will be limited, so come early for seating. Copies of the book will be available for purchase.
