Ibi Kaslik

Ibolya "Ibi" Kaslik (born August 20, 1973) is a Canadian novelist, freelance journalist, and professor of creative writing at the University of Toronto.

Kaslik's short stories and articles have appeared in literary magazines such as Matrix and Geist.

[5] Her second novel, The Angel Riots, about a rising indie rock band from Montreal, was published by Penguin Canada in February 2008.

She attended the Etobicoke School of the Arts with members of the band and helped them on their first tour of Canada and the United States.

Although Kaslik says "It's definitely based on a world that I know", she has brushed off claims that the connection goes very deep, saying "it would be mistaken and scurrilous to try to identify individual people"[6] Kaslik states that she is currently working on three new pieces of prose, one which she claims is titled Mini and the Courage Poncho, a book illustrated by Stef Lenk and aimed toward children.
