SUMMARY:Storytelling is a Love Language
DESCRIPTION:Storytelling is a Love Language (First Edition): brought to you by the South Asian Youth Collective \nDespite the increasing role of technology in our lives\, we continue to live for storytelling! Stories tell us who we are\, where we come from\, and bring meaning and excitement to our lives. Storytelling was the way in which our ancestors were able to pass down knowledge\, history and wisdom. Each one of us has an infinite number of stories within us\, and we tell stories every day\, even if we don’t think we do. \nThis event aims to de-colonialize the act of storytelling and aims to bring people together in order to share an intimate afternoon of sharing and connecting as authentically as possible. \nFor this edition\, we invite storytellers who are people of colour AND identify as women\, non-binary or gender non-conforming. Sign-up at the link below to tell a story\, any story\, between 5 – 8 minutes\, as long as it is on the theme of “Firsts”. Stories do NOT have to be: memorized\, “structured properly”\, follow any rules of English class\, etc. \nTheme: “Firsts”\nThe theme for this edition’s event is “Firsts” (fittingly\, as this is also our first edition of this event!) “Firsts” can come in many different forms: your first heartbreak\, first act of rebellion\, first words\, first period\, first love\, first understandings of feminism\, first time you heard a racial slur\, and so on. You may reflect on this theme in a way that resonates with you\, and we may learn that we hold many stories that were actually “Firsts”. \nTo sign up as a storyteller\, please fill out the following (brief) form:\nhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdIE0F8BnR1mWwJy_xva4bLbBo2XSGE260O_R5vbSuGLvKqbw/viewform?usp=sf_link \n(there will be a limited number of spots for sign-up at the door) \nContent of oppressive nature (racist\, sexist\, transphobic\, homophobic\, ableist\, classist\, etc.) will not be tolerated at this event. \nIf you have any questions\, please feel free to e-mail sawccyouth@gmail.com. \nAccessibility: This space is not wheelchair accessible. There are steps to get into the building\, from there you can take the elevator to the third floor. \nCost: Pay what you can

SUMMARY:Mona Awad and Chris Boucher Double Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join us August 15th for the double launch of Mona Awad’s Bunny and Chris Boucher’s Big Giant Floating Head! \nAbout Bunny:\nSamantha Heather Mackey couldn’t be more of an outsider in her small\, highly selective MFA program at New England’s Warren University. A scholarship student who prefers the company of her dark imagination to that of most people\, she is utterly repelled by the rest of her fiction writing cohort–a clique of unbearably twee rich girls who call each other “Bunny\,” and seem to move and speak as one.\nBut everything changes when Samantha receives an invitation to the Bunnies’ fabled “Smut Salon\,” and finds herself inexplicably drawn to their front door–ditching her only friend\, Ava\, in the process. As Samantha plunges deeper and deeper into the Bunnies’ sinister yet saccharine world\, beginning to take part in the ritualistic off-campus “Workshop” where they conjure their monstrous creations\, the edges of reality begin to blur. Soon\, her friendships with Ava and the Bunnies will be brought into deadly collision. \nAbout Big Giant Floating Head:\nAfter his wife announces on Twitter that she’s leaving him\, Christopher’s life in small-town Coolidge just goes from one catastrophe to another. He contracts a strange illness that divides him in half\, undergoes a failure competition\, and is driven to join a cult called The Unloveables. How did it all get this bad? How can he regain his bearings\, and find meaning and love once again?\nHeartfelt and riotously imaginative\, Big Giant Floating Head is the daring\, dazzling account of a man’s struggle with love\, loss and redemption.

SUMMARY:Jana Prikryl Launches No Matter: Poems
DESCRIPTION:Poet Sina Queyras talks to Jana Prikryl about her new collection\, No Matter. \nJANA PRIKRYL is the author of two books of poems\, No Matter and The After Party\, which was one of The New York Times‘s Best Poetry Books of the Year. Born in the former Czechoslovakia\, she grew up in Canada from the age of six. Her poems have appeared in The New Yorker\, The London Review of Books\, The Paris Review\, and The New York Review of Books\, where she is a senior editor and the poetry editor. \nAbout the book:\nAn urgent\, visionary collection of poems from the author of The After Party \n“One of the most original voices of her generation.”—James Wood \nJana Prikryl’s No Matter guides the reader through cities—remembered and imagined—toppling past the point of decline and fall. Conjured by voices alternately ardent\, caustic\, grieving\, but always watchful\, these soliloquies move from free verse through sonnets and invented forms\, insisting that every demolition builds something new and unforeseen. In reactionary times\, these poems say\, we each have a responsibility to use our imagination. \nNo Matter is an elegy for our ongoing moment\, when what seemed permanent suddenly appears to be on the brink of disappearing. \n〰️️〰️️〰️️ \nLibrairie Drawn & Quarterly recognizes 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. This has always been a gathering place for many First Nations and continues to be home to a diverse population of Indigenous peoples. It is important to think about how each and every one of us has arrived here. We are grateful that creating and sharing stories has been a part of this land for thousands of years and we urge you to seek out a story that is different from your own. \n〰️️〰️️〰️️ \nLa Petite Drawn and Quarterly Accessibility information: \n– Our event space uses StopGap.ca ramps in an effort to encourage accessibility. Both the step at the entrance\, followed by a half step and a door have StopGap ramps. The door opens inward and is not automated. Once inside\, there are no additional steps.\n– It is not a sober space\, our events sometimes offer alcohol. \n♥️ Please email events@drawnandquarterly.com if you have any accessibility needs we can accommodate (for example\, saving you a seat if you have mobility needs) for you to be able to enjoy our events\, worry-free\, and feel free to contact us for any concerns you may have ♥️

SUMMARY:The Clothesline Swing (Violet Hour Book)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the next meeting of the Violet Hour Book Club\, a reading group devoted to modern and classic works of LGBTQ literature. \nThe book we will be discussing is The Clothesline Swing (2017) by Ahmad Danny Ramadan. \nABOUT THE BOOK /// \nThe Clothesline Swing is a journey through the troublesome aftermath of the Arab Spring. A former Syrian refugee himself\, Ramadan unveils an enthralling tale of courage that weaves through the mountains of Syria\, the valleys of Lebanon\, the encircling seas of Turkey\, the heat of Egypt and finally\, the hope of a new home in Canada. \nInspired by One Thousand and One Nights\, The Clothesline Swing tells the epic story of two lovers anchored to the memory of a dying Syria. One is a Hakawati\, a storyteller\, keeping life in forward motion by relaying remembered fables to his dying partner. Each night he weaves stories of his childhood in Damascus\, of the cruelty he has endured for his sexuality\, of leaving home\, of war\, of his fated meeting with his lover. Meanwhile Death himself\, in his dark cloak\, shares the house with the two men\, eavesdropping on their secrets as he awaits their final undoing. \nHosted by Christopher DiRaddo \nRemember\, as book club members\, you get 15% off all book club selections at Librairie Paragraphe Bookstore. \nNOTE: Ahmad Danny Ramadan will be in Montreal for a special on-stage interview about his book on Wednesday\, August 14.

SUMMARY:Argo 50th Anniversary Party
DESCRIPTION:In 1969\, following a fire at the old store on the south side of Ste. Catherine\, Mr. John George relocated the Argo Bookshop to its current location at 1915 Ste. Catherine West. 50 years later\, the Argo is the oldest independent English-language bookstore in Montreal\, which is something to celebrate! \nIn 2017\, two friends took on the helm of the Argo\, gave it a sprucing up\, and put in a slate of weekly events\, a lounge space\, and a wide new selection of books. Two years later\, we think the community of writers and readers that have come together around the store is something to celebrate\, too! \nSo please join us on Sunday\, July 28\, for this double anniversary party\, and enjoy cupcakes\, discounts\, guest booksellers\, decorations\, and giveaways! This place has always been about community\, so let’s celebrate the past and future of the Argo together.

SUMMARY:Kathleen Winter - 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 Lost in September by author Kathleen Winter. 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:\nKathleen Winter’s debut story collection\, boYs (Biblioasis)\, won the 2006 Metcalf Rooke award. Her 2010 novel\, Annabel (Anansi)\, won the Thomas Head Raddall Award and was a finalist for Canada’s Giller\, Writers’ Trust and Governor General’s literary prizes. Her Arctic memoir\, Boundless\, was a finalist for the Rogers Writers’ Trust\, RBC Taylor Prize\, and QWF Mavis Gallant non fiction awards. Lost in September\, her 2017 novel based on letters written by General James Wolfe to his mother\, was shortlisted for The Hugh MacLennan and Governor General’s literary awards. Winter lives in Montreal. \nAbout the book:\nEnter the world of Jimmy–a tall\, red-haired\, homeless thirty-something ex-soldier\, battered by PTSD–as he camps out on the streets of modern-day Montreal\, trying to remember and reclaim his youth. While his past is something of an enigma\, even to himself\, the young man bears a striking resemblance to General James Wolfe\, “Conqueror of Canada” and “Hero of Quebec\,” who died on the Plains of Abraham in 1759.\nAs a young soldier in his twenties\, the historical James Wolfe (1727-1759) was granted a short and much longed-for leave to travel to Paris to study poetry\, music and dance–three of his passions. But in that very year\, 1752\, the British Empire abandoned the Julian calendar for the Gregorian\, and every citizen of England lost eleven days: September 2 was followed by September 14. These lost eleven days happened to occur during the period that Wolfe had been granted for his leave. Despondent and bitter\, he never got the chance to explore his artistic bent\, and seven short years later\, on the anniversary of this foreshortened leave\, he died on the Plains of Abraham.\nNow\, James is getting his eleven days back . . . but instead of the salons of 18th century Paris\, he’s wandering the streets of present-day Montreal and Quebec City\, not as “the Hero of Quebec” but as a damaged war veteran wracked with anguish. Much like George Saunders in Lincoln in the Bardo\, award-winning author Kathleen Winter takes a brief\, intensely personal incident in the life of a famous historical figure\, and using her incomparable gifts as a fiction writer\, powerfully reimagines him. Here is a wrenching\, unforgettable portrait–like none you have ever seen or read–of one of the most well-known figures in Canadian history.
