SUMMARY:David Bergen Hybird Book Launch (Away from the Dead)
DESCRIPTION:The launch will be hosted live in the Atrium of McNally Robinson Booksellers\, Grant Park and also available as a simultaneous YouTube stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1JG8ISBuBs \nBefore arriving\, please review details of how to attend physical events here at the store: https://www.mcnallyrobinson.com/event-attendance \nThe venue is accessible.— \nJoin us as we celebrate the launch of David Bergen’s new novel Away from the Dead (Goose Lane Editions). This event features a reading and a conversation hosted by Maurice Mierau. Presented as part of THIN AIR 2023: The Winnipeg International Writers Festival. \nhttps://www.mcnallyrobinson.com/9781773103105/david-bergen/away-from-the-dead \nIn Away from the Dead\, David Bergen takes us to a place where chaos reigns\, where answers come from everywhere and nowhere\, and where both the beauty and horror of humanity are on full display. As anarchists\, Bolsheviks\, and the White Army all come and go\, each claiming freedom and justice\, Bergen embeds his readers into the lives of characters connected through love\, family\, and loyalty. A bookseller south of Kiev deserts the army and writes poetry to his love back home; an adopted Mennonite-Ukrainian stableboy runs with the anarchists only to discover that love and the planting of crops is preferable to killing; a beautiful young peasant tries to stop a Mennonite landowner from stealing her child. In a world of violence\, these three learn to love and hate and love again\, hoping\, against all odds\, that one can turn away from the dead. \nPraised by the Montreal Gazette as “one of Canada’s best writers” and by the Globe and Mail as “inventive and electrifying\,” David Bergen is the bestselling author of numerous acclaimed novels and short-story collections\, including The Time In Between\, winner of the Scotiabank Giller Prize\, and Out of Mind\, winner of the McNally Robinson Book of the Year Award. Away from the Dead is his thirteenth book of fiction. He lives in Winnipeg. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/1266641900720273/

SUMMARY:Double Book Launch: Back in the Land of the Living and How to Be Alone
DESCRIPTION:Join Eva Crocker and Heather Nolan at La Petite Librairie Drawn & Quarterly at 176 rue Bernard O at 7 pm on Wednesday\, September 20th for the double launch of Back in the Land of the Living and How to Be Alone! The evening will feature a reading\, a conversation\, a Q&A and a signing. \nThe event is free and open to all. Books will be available for purchase at the event and the authors will sign copies of their books. \nPlease note that we are encouraging all guests to wear masks at this event. Masks will be available free of charge upon entry.////////////////////////////////////////////////////////A sexy\, unforgettable story about love and longing in a time of chaos by Scotiabank Giller Prize longlisted author Eva Crocker. \nBack in the Land of the Living brings us a year in the life of Marcy\, a young queer woman who moves to Montreal in the fall of 2019 after making a mess of her life in St. John’s. Alone in a big city on the brink of lockdown\, Marcy finds herself working an assortment of odd and sometimes dangerous\, sometimes ethically questionable jobs\, and swept up in a tumultuous romance with a charismatic woman. As friends\, loyalties\, and philosophies collide\, Marcy tries to carve out a future amidst the intertwined crises of late capitalism\, the climate apocalypse\, and the Covid-19 pandemic. \nWith all the candour\, wit\, and bracing wisdom that have won her accolades and awards across Canada\, Eva Crocker gives us a sexy\, unforgettable story about love and longing in a time of chaos. \nEva Crocker grew up in Ktaqmkuk (Newfoundland) and lives in Tiohti:áke (Montreal). Her debut novel All I Ask was long-listed for the 2020 Giller Prize and won the 2020 BMO Winterset Award. Her short story collection Barreling Forward was shortlisted for Dayne Ogilvie Prize for Emerging LGBTQS2 Writers and won the Alistair MacLeod Award for Short Fiction and the CAA Emerging Author’s Award. Her forthcoming novel Back in the Land of the Living will be published by House of Anansi Press in August 2023. She is a PhD student in Concordia University’s Interdisciplinary Humanities program where she is researching visual art from Newfoundland. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////A breathtaking duet of spare\, poetic novellas documenting the double-edged sword of self-acceptance.Heather Nolan returns with How to Be Alone\, a pair of novellas that depict the euphoric highs of a Queer awakening and the crushing lows of feeling Othered in a world that isn’t built for you. In this short but weighty book\, Nolan explores themes such as isolation\, trauma\, and loss against the vibrant streets of Montreal. Here\, in a city famous for bringing people together\, the streets serve as a palette with a different purpose: a foil for those struggling to connect with the world around them. \nHeather Nolan’s work has been published in numerous journals and anthologies across Canada\, the US\, and the UK\, including ARC Poetry Magazine\, EVENT Magazine\, Riddle Fence\, and Solliloquies Anthology. They are the author of the critically acclaimed novella This Is Agatha Falling and the poetry collection Land of the Rock: Talamh an Carriag. They’ve also worked as a musician (they are the former guitarist for the band\, Lady Brett Ashley)\, photographer\, and knitwear designer. Nolan’s knitwear designs\, published under the name Oileánach Knits\, use making as a tool for connecting with place\, heritage\, and lost ancestral language.////////////////////////////////////////////////////////Librairie Drawn & Quarterly would like to acknowledge that our events and bookstores are located on the unceded territory of the Kanien’kehá:ka. Many of us refer to Montreal as our home\, but it is named Tiohtiá:ke. It has always been a gathering place for many First Nations and continues to be home to a diverse population of Indigenous peoples. We are grateful that creating and sharing stories has been a part of this land for thousands of years.//////////////////////////////////////////////////////La Petite Drawn and Quarterly Accessibility information:– We encourage the wearing of masks at our events.– Our event space uses StopGap.ca ramps in an effort to encourage accessibility.

SUMMARY:Lancement double : Folklorismes et Tous les tapis roulants mènent à Rome
DESCRIPTION:Dans le cadre de la Journée J’achète un livre du Nouveau-Brunswick\, les auteurs Paul Bossé et Louis-Martin Savard invitent la communauté monctonienne à venir célébrer avec eux la parution récente de ???????????????? ???????????? ???????????????????? ???????????????????????????????? ????????̀???????????????? ????̀ ???????????????? (essai-BD) et de ???????????????????????????????????????????????? (poésie). Ce sera l’occasion de découvrir leurs nouvelles créations\, de les entendre en lecture publique\, de discuter avec eux\, d’acheter leurs livres et de les faire dédicacer! \nUn foulard de Perce-Neige sera offert par la maison d’édition à l’achat des deux livres.  \nQuand? Le samedi 16 septembre\, de 17 h à 19 hOù? Place ResurgoGratuit \nCette activité est présentée en partenariat avec la Place Resurgo\, grâce au soutien de la Ville de Moncton\, du Festival Frye et de Arts et Culture NB.  \n* \n???????????????? ???????????? ???????????????????? ???????????????????????????????? ????????̀???????????????? ????̀ ????????????????La crise climatique racontée à échelle humaine par le poète et cinéaste Paul Bossé et illustrée par le bédéiste Paul Bordeleau \nDepuis près de trente ans\, l’œuvre foisonnante et multiforme de Paul Bossé tente par tous les moyens de cerner la problématique environnementale. Dans cet essai flirtant avec le récit\, il dresse le bilan d’un demi-siècle d’activisme\, à partir de sa naissance durant les années 1970 jusqu’à son cinquantième anniversaire. Éco-lucide ou éco-rebelle plutôt qu’éco-anxieux\, l’auteur emprunte à nombre de scientifiques\, d’artistes et de militant·es leur sifflet de lifeguards. Car c’est bien de cela qu’il s’agit : sauver la vie sur la planète bleue. \nÀ bord du tapis roulant\, Spock\, Astérix\, Jean-Paul II\, Mick Jagger\, Bill « Spaceman » Lee\, Bob Barker\, Greta Thunberg et bien d’autres sont convoqués tour à tour pour illustrer l’impasse vers laquelle se dirige la société de consommation. Plus que les chiffres ou les statistiques\, ce sont ces figures familières qui nous font comprendre la gravité de la situation.  \nUn livre à mettre de toute urgence entre les mains de la prochaine génération. \n???????????????? ????????????????????́Né en 1971 à Moncton\, au Nouveau-Brunswick\, Paul Bossé est un poète\, cinéaste\, dramaturge et artiste de la performance.  \nTrès engagé dans le milieu culturel acadien\, il a réalisé plusieurs films documentaires et expérimentaux\, dont Kacho Komplo (ONF\, 2002). On lui doit également de nombreuses installations vidéo et manifestations artistiques éclatées. En plus des pièces de théâtre créées avec le collectif Moncton-Sable\, il est l’auteur de six recueils de poésie publiés aux Éditions Perce-Neige entre 2001 et 2020.  \nEn 2022\, il est nommé Poète lauréat francophone de la Ville de Moncton et Poète flyé du Festival Frye.  \n* \n????????????????????????????????????????????????Présenté comme un casse-tête dont les morceaux reconstruisent petit à petit une image protéiforme\, ce recueil de Louis-Martin Savard fait la part belle à la chanson de tradition orale. Avec fougue et sensibilité\, l’auteur nous entraine dans ses recherches et nous accompagne au coeur de ses errances.  \nUne poésie mélodique rythmée par la route entre le Québec et l’Acadie\, où la musicalité des textes et leur fragmentation rappelle la cadence d’une gigue ou d’un reel au violon. \n????????????????????-???????????????????????? ????????????????????????Originaire du Lac-Saint-Jean\, habite au Nouveau-Brunswick depuis près de quinze ans\, où il enseigne au Département d’études françaises de l’Université de Moncton. Il est également poète; son recueil Le char de mon père est paru en 2021 et plusieurs de ses textes ont été publiés dans les revues Exit\, Virages\, Zinc et Ancrages. Depuis 2022\, il codirige la collection Prose aux Éditions Perce-Neige. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/1953926511652186/

SUMMARY:USING TRANSFORMATIVE LIFE EXPERIENCE TO WRITE FICTION with Fawn Parker
DESCRIPTION:USING TRANSFORMATIVE LIFE EXPERIENCE TO WRITE FICTION workshop with Fawn Parker \nIn Fawn Parker’s Auto-Fiction workshop\, participants will discuss and explore methods of using real life experience in fictional storytelling. Powerful fiction contains some level of truth\, whether it is in action\, character\, or emotion. Obscuring true events through fictionalization introduces infinite opportunity for interesting\, effective\, and impactful prose\, with human experience at its core. With examples from Parker’s forthcoming auto-novel Hi it’s me (M&S 2024)\, the group will work on visual outlines transferring their lived stories into literary plots\, and develop an “elevator pitch” for an auto-fictional story or novel. \nPresenter Bio:Fawn Parker is a Giller-nominated author of five books including What We Both Know (M&S) and the forthcoming poetry collection Soft Inheritance and auto-memoir Hi it’s me (M&S). Fawn is a PhD student in creative writing at the University of New Brunswick. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/847167980316588/
