SUMMARY:Becky Blake and Nancy Jo Cullen in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of reading and conversation as Becky Blake and Nancy Jo Cullen chat about their latest releases: Proof I Was Here\, and The Western Alienation Merit Badge! \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:Japan Book Club - Masks
DESCRIPTION:Looking for a good read for the height of summer? The Argo Bookshop\, in conjunction with the JET Alumni Association of Quebec and Atlantic Canada\, will be hosting its summer Japan Book Club on August 29. \nFor this meeting\, we’ll be discussing Masks by Enchi Fumiko\, a highly respected Japanese writer of the mid-20th century. In this novel\, Toganō Mieko takes an increasing interest in the personal affairs of her widowed daughter-in-law\, Yasuko. Devastated by the loss of her son\, she skillfully manipulates the relationships between Yasuko and the two men who are in love with her\, encouraging a dalliance that will have terrible consequences. Meanwhile\, hidden in the shadows\, is Mieko’s disabled daughter\, who has her own role to play in her mother’s bizarre schemes. In Masks\, Enchi has crafted a stunning and understated novel of seduction and infidelity. \nCome for a lively discussion of a thought-provoking piece of Japanese literature by an author less known in North America\, and enjoy some snacks and refreshments! You can read the book in English\, French\, or Japanese. You’re also welcome to come if you haven’t read the book\, but there will likely be spoilers.
