SUMMARY:Book Launch: Voice Lessons by Eve Krakow
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, September 22\, 2024\, 3-5 pmCafé Le Cheval (5320 Queen Mary Road\, Montreal)\n\n\n\nEve Krakow will be launching her book Voice Lessons\, A Memoir in Essays (Guernica Editions) on Sunday\, September 22 from 3 to 5 p.m. at Café Le Cheval\, 5320 Queen Mary Road. Moderated by Julie Matlin. Snacks and coffee will be available for purchase. All welcome! \n\n\n\nVoice Lessons is a collection of personal essays about an introvert’s struggle to find her voice—as a singer\, a writer\, a mother\, and a human being. Using traditional narrative and hybrid forms\, Eve Krakow explores the early loss of her mother\, her innermost anxieties as a young adult\, the building of family\, the push and pull of heritage and tradition\, and more. Juxtaposing shyness in life with boldness on stage\, these stories expose the deep-seated need for human connection and belonging. \n\n\n\nEve Krakow is a Montreal writer\, translator\, singer and mom. Her stories have appeared in Grain Magazine\, JMWW\, Maisonneuve\, and Shy: An Anthology. Through her writing\, she seeks to reach others by giving form to that quiet yet insistent inner voice. You can discover more about her work at evekrakow.com.

SUMMARY:Alice Zorn launches Colours in Her Hands
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, September 24\, 2024\, 7:00 pm ETLibrairie Pulp Books\, Montreal\n\n\n\nBook Launch! Local author Alice Zorn in conversation with Elise Moser for the launch of Alice’s new novel\, Colours in Her Hands. September 24th\, 7PM. Please RSVP to secure your spot. \n\n\n\nAbout Colours in Her Hands: \n\n\n\nWhat is intellectual disability? Ask Bruno\, who is at his wits’ end trying to predict what his sister\, Mina\, will do next. Ask Iris\, who is entranced by the wildly inventive embroidery Mina creates. Ask Gabriela\, who loves Mina and disagrees when Bruno uses Mina’s constant demands as an excuse not to have a child. Meet Mina in her overstuffed Montreal apartment\, surrounded by her treasures. She knows she is the best paper sorter at the recycling plant where she works. She is proud to be diabetic but equally happy to cheat on her diet. The colours she stitches hum with life. Colours in Her Hands is a nuanced and thought-provoking novel about family\, about art\, about questioning the way the world treats those who are different. With an unforgettable voice\, Mina navigates the labyrinth that society sets for her with dignity\, inventiveness\, and aplomb.
