SUMMARY:Book Launch: Quietly\, Loving Everyone by Curtis John McRae
DESCRIPTION:Véhicule Press invites you to the launch of Curtis John McRae’s debut short story collection Quietly\, Loving EveryoneJoin us for an evening of readings and conversation with the author and Dimitri Nasrallah. The event is free and open to all. \n\n\n\nQuietly\, Loving Everyone\, Curtis McRae’s debut collection of stories\, assembles a meditative and often profound cycle of portraits pulled from everyday Canadian life. A young boy raises James Dean from the dead\, only to find out the cult icon is not the playmate he’d hoped for. A university student riddled with ulcers silently spirals after being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. A young girl takes a road trip with her older sister to Cape Cod\, and years later reconstructs the tragic circumstances behind what she remembers. A couple goes on a date at an old porn theatre that is the last remaining vestige of a neighbourhood that has moved on. McRae plays witness to characters at those crucial beginnings or ends of relationships\, with lovers\, friends\, family\, and most importantly themselves. \n\n\n\nCurtis John McRae is editor-in-chief at Yolk Literary Journal. His fiction has appeared in The New Quarterly\, Prairie Fire\, Chronicling the Days anthology (Guernica Editions\, 2021)\, and others. He lives in Montreal.
