SUMMARY:Lesbians and Queers:  A Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:Some lesbians identify as queer and some queers identify as lesbians. Those who don’t tend to have lots of ideas about each other. And lots of suspicions. We don’t often try and talk across this rift—which is a real shame because lesbians and queers have everything to gain from really listening to each other. \nAt the core of this event is a series of readings and presentations by local writers and artists brought together by co-hosts Lise Weil and Anna J. Weick. Readers and presenters will include: Lise Weil\, Avery Burrow\, Élyanne Coursol-Dion\, Myriam Fougère\, River Halen Guri\, Tara McGowan-Ross\, Nicola Sibthorpe and Malek Yalaoui.

SUMMARY:New Reads Book Club: Home Remedies
DESCRIPTION:The New Reads Book Club focuses on contemporary literature and is hosted by Drawn and Quarterly staff members. The book club meetings take place every 4-6 weeks\, and are open to all. \nFor our OCTOBER meeting\, we will meet at La Petite Librairie Drawn & Quarterly (176 Bernard O.) at 7 pm to discuss Home Remedies by Xuan Juliana Wang. \nJoin us for discussion and drinks with Librairie bookseller and host Rachel Wallace! \n**We offer a 20% discount on Home Remedies from now until the meeting date.** \nThe Book:\nXuan Juliana Wang’s remarkable debut introduces us to the new and changing face of Chinese youth. From fuerdai (second-generation rich kids) to a glass-swallowing qigong grandmaster\, her dazzling\, formally inventive stories upend the immigrant narrative to reveal a new experience of belonging: of young people testing the limits of who they are\, in a world as vast and varied as their ambitions. \nIn stories of love\, family\, and friendship\, here are the voices\, faces and stories of a new generation never before captured between the pages in fiction. What sets them apart is Juliana Wang’s surprising imagination\, able to capture the innermost thoughts of her characters with astonishing empathy\, as well as the contradictions of the modern immigrant experience in a way that feels almost universal. Home Remedies is\, in the words of Alexander Chee\, “the arrival of an urgent and necessary literary voice we’ve been needing\, waiting for maybe\, without knowing.”

SUMMARY:WORDPLAY  A writing workshop in celebration of creativity and wonder
DESCRIPTION:In a time of busy schedules\, and places to be and people to see\, it can be hard to find the time to simply play. WORDPLAY is a writing play group\, a time in your week reserved for you — a time to connect with the wonder that lies at the heart of words and where they can take us. \nFor a period of six weeks we will meet for two hours of writing projects and prompts designed to welcome the unexpected\, the spontaneous\, and the serendipitous\, culminating in an evening of readings on the last night. \nWhether you are a poet\, a fiction or non-fiction writer\, an aspiring writer\, a musician or a visual or performance artist\, or simply someone who loves the joy of words\, or even scrabble\, boggle or crossword puzzles\, this is an opportunity to entertain what it means to revel\, gambol and cut loose with language. \nWorkshop leader: Carolyn Boll\nA trained dancer\, and recipient of several Canada Council and Quebec multi-media and choreography grants\, author Carolyn Boll is a graduate of The Humber School for Writers. Her poems and short stories have appeared in Lavender Review\, The Gay & Lesbian Review\, and Mayday Magazine\, and her non-fiction writing has appeared in The Dance Current and The Montreal Gazette. Her first book\, a playful partnering between poetry\, image and dance\, is called Social Dance A Book of Ballroom Poetry and was published by Sally Jane Books\, the specialty imprint of indie publisher Headmistress Press.

SUMMARY:Mary Soderstrom Launches Frenemy Nations
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the launch of Frenemy Nations\, as well as a short reading and discussion of why some places that should be alike aren’t alike. \nFRENEMY NATIONS:\nLove and Hate between Neighbo(u)ring States.\nIn the summer of 1968\, Mary Soderstrom and her husband loaded up their VW Beetle and immigrated to Canada from the United States. The contrast between their new home and their old led to a long-running reflection on what makes the two countries different. How could two places that are similar in so many ways be so disparate in others? \nIn Frenemy Nations\, Soderstrom answers this question by addressing a range of geographical “odd couples”: including the United States and Canada; New Hampshire and Vermont; Alberta and Saskatchewan; Haiti and the Dominican Republic; Scotland and Ireland; Rwanda and Burundi; and more. Through it all\, Soderstrom shows how tiny differences—in geographic features\, colonial histories\, resource competition\, education\, women’s roles\, language\, and migration—can have outsized effects on how polities develop. \nMARY SODERSTROM is a Montreal-based writer of fiction and non-fiction with six works of non-fiction\, three short story collections\, six novels and one children’s book to her credit. The University of Regina Press published her non-fiction book Road through Time: The Story of Humanity on the Move in 2017 while Cormorant Books published her most recent novel River Music in 2015.

SUMMARY:Ariela Freedman - Book Club with the Author
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the latest iteration of our Book Club with the Author\, where a local Montreal author joins us to discuss their book! This time\, we’ll be discussing A Joy to be Hidden by author Ariela Freedman. As with all our book clubs\, we recommend reading the book in advance\, but you are welcome to attend as long as you are all right with spoilers. \nAbout the author:\nAriela Freedman was born in Brooklyn and has lived in Jerusalem\, New York\, Calgary\, London\, and Montreal. Her reviews and poems have appeared in Vallum\, carte blanche\, The Cincinnati Review and other publications\, and she was selected to participate in the Quebec Writers’ Federation’s 2014 Mentorship Program. She has a Ph.D. from New York University and teaches literature at Concordia’s Liberal Arts College in Montreal\, where she lives with her husband and two sons. Her first novel\, Arabic for Beginners\, was shortlisted for the QWF/Concordia first book prize\, and won the Mona Elaine Adilman Award for Fiction in 2018. A Joy to Be Hidden (2019) is her second novel. \nAbout the book:\nA Joy To Be Hidden is set in a vividly recreated late-90s New York City. The protagonist is Alice Stein\, a graduate student whose father died a year before\, and who has now lost her grandmother. In the process of sorting through the grandmother’s belongings\, Alice unlocks a family secret. In addition to its wisdom and rich humour\, the novel is full of memorable characters. We can never quite forget the title quote–“It Is a joy to be hidden\, and a disaster not to be found” (D. W. Winnicott)–and we discover\, over the course of the novel\, that it applies to all its characters.

SUMMARY:Cherie Dimaline launches Empire of Wild
DESCRIPTION:Librairie Drawn & Quarterly presents: \nCherie Dimaline launches EMPIRE OF WILD \nAbout the book:\nFrom the author of the YA-crossover hit THE MARROW THIEVES\, a propulsive\, stunning and sensuous novel inspired by the traditional Métis story of the Rogarou–a werewolf-like creature that haunts the roads and woods of Métis communities. A messed-up\, grown-up\, Little Red Riding Hood.Broken-hearted Joan has been searching for her husband\, Victor\, for almost a year–ever since he went missing on the night they had their first serious argument. One terrible\, hungover morning in a Walmart parking lot in a little town near Georgian Bay\, she is drawn to a revival tent where the local Métis have been flocking to hear a charismatic preacher named Eugene Wolff. By the time she staggers into the tent\, the service is over. But as she is about to leave\, she hears an unmistakable voice. \nShe turns\, and there Victor is. The same face\, the same eyes\, the same hands. But his hair is short and he’s wearing a suit and he doesn’t recognize her at all. No\, he insists\, she’s the one suffering a delusion: he’s the Reverend Wolff and his only mission is to bring his people to Jesus. Except that\, as Joan soon discovers\, that’s not all the enigmatic Wolff is doing. \nWith only the help of Ajean\, a foul-mouthed euchre shark with a knowledge of the old ways\, and her odd\, Johnny-Cash-loving\, 12-year-old nephew Zeus\, Joan has to find a way to remind the Reverend Wolff of who he really is. If he really is Victor. Her life\, and the life of everyone she loves\, depends upon it. \nAbout the Author:\nCHERIE DIMALINE’s young adult novel THE MARROW THIEVES shot to the top of the bestseller lists when it was published in 2017\, and stayed there for more than a year. It won the Governor General’s Literary Award\, the Kirkus Prize in the young adult literature category\, the Burt Award for First Nations\, Métis and Inuit Literature\, was a finalist for the Trillium Book Award and\, among other honours\, was a fan favourite in the 2018 edition of CBC’s Canada Reads. It was also a Book of Year on numerous lists including the National Public Radio\, the School Library Journal\, the New York Public Library\, the Globe and Mail\, Quill & Quire and the CBC. Cherie was named Emerging Artist of the Year at the Ontario Premier’s Awards for Excellence in the Arts in 2014\, and became the first Indigenous writer in residence at the Toronto Public Library. From the Georgian Bay Métis Community in Ontario\, she now lives in Toronto.

SUMMARY:Book launch: Little Blue Encyclopedia (for Vivian) by Hazel Jane Plante
DESCRIPTION:Montreal\, please join author Hazel Jane Plante for the launch of her debut novel ▼Little Blue Encyclopedia (for Vivian)▲ \n*with special guest Helen Chau Bradley* \nZoey Leigh Peterson\, author of Next Year\, For Sure\, calls Little Blue Encyclopedia “an exquisite\, kaleidoscopic novel bursting with ache and delight.” \nLITTLE BLUE ENCYCLOPEDIA (FOR VIVIAN) sifts through a queer trans woman’s unrequited love for her straight trans friend who died. A queer love letter steeped in desire\, grief\, and delight\, the story is interspersed with encyclopedia entries about a fictional TV show set on an isolated island. The experimental form functions at once as a manual for how pop culture can help soothe and mend us and as an exploration of oft-overlooked sources of pleasure\, including karaoke\, birding\, and butt toys. Ultimately\, Little Blue Encyclopedia (for Vivian) reveals with glorious detail and emotional nuance the woman the narrator loved\, why she loved her\, and the depths of what she has lost.

Books by the poets will be for sale and there will be refreshments. \nThe reading will take place in the Atwater Library auditorium\, which is located on the second floor\, up two flights of stairs.

There is a single-stall gender-neutral washroom and a multi-stall women’s washroom both next to the auditorium. \nAtwater Poetry Project is committed to being a safer space and anti-oppression space. We ask all guests to be respectful and non-discriminatory toward others within the reading space and in the Library where the series is located. Violent\, discriminatory or harmful behaviour will not be tolerated. \nWe acknowledge that this reading series takes place on unceded Indigenous lands of the Kanien’kehá:ka people in Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal. \nAtwater Poetry Project is made possible by the ongoing support of the Atwater Library and Computer Centre and from the Canada Council for the Arts | Conseil des arts du Canada.
