SUMMARY:New Reads Book Club: Valerie: or\, The Faculty of Dreams
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. For our SEPTEMBER meeting\, we will meet at La Petite Librairie Drawn & Quarterly (176 Bernard O.) at 7 pm to discuss Valerie: or\, The Faculty of Dreams. The evening will be hosted by Librairie Drawn & Quarterly’s own Catherine Debard. Join us for discussion and drinks! \nIn April 1988\, Valerie Solanas―the writer\, radical feminist\, author of the SCUM Manifesto and would-be assassin of Andy Warhol―was discovered dead at fifty-two in her hotel room\, in a grimy corner of San Francisco\, alone\, penniless\, and surrounded by the typed pages of her last writings.\nIn Valerie\, a nameless narrator revisits the room where Solanas died\, the courtroom where she was tried and convicted of attempting to murder Andy Warhol\, the Georgia wastelands where she spent her childhood and was repeatedly raped by her father and beaten by her alcoholic grandfather\, and the mental hospitals where she was shut away. \nA leading feminist in Sweden and one of the most acclaimed writers in Scandinavia\, Sara Stridsberg here blurs the boundaries between history and fiction\, self-making and storytelling\, madness and art\, love and tragedy. Through imagined conversations and monologues\, reminiscences and rantings\, she reconstructs this most intriguing and enigmatic of women\, reaching back in time to amplify her voice and bring her powerful\, heartbreaking story into new light. \n**We offer a 20% discount on Valerie: or\, The Faculty of Dreams from now until the meeting date.**

SUMMARY:House House Press Launch ft. Alize Zorlutuna\, Jes Dolan\, and Stacey Ho
DESCRIPTION:For practitioners wildering on the outskirts of poetry\, House House Press hopes to be a sounding off\, scheming on\, and calling into what the room may look like with us and our work there together\, enjoying ourselves. Join us for a reading with House House Press’s second season of titles! \nABOUT THE BOOKS: \nHOW TO BE SOFT by Alize Zorlutuna\nA collection of poems and images that look at ways in which power unfolds through intimacies that live in the body. Enlisting gestures of concealment\, Alize Zorlutuna pairs poetry with images\, some depicting ongoing performance project\, others depicting alternative ways of working through the materiality of experience. The text and images move between withholding and inviting\, reconfiguring agency in the process of telling. \nGREEN LINES by Stacey Ho\nThe two texts in Green Lines stem from Stacey Ho’s ongoing preoccupation with math and plants. “Anti-Invasion Ecologies” troubles colonial and anti-immigrant metaphors used to describe so-called weeds\, while the lines of Cantor and Spinoza converge into a conversation about friendship in “How to Draw a Line.” Though these topics may seem incongruous and their approach peripatetic\, these texts are connected by a continuous green line\, an avenue that calls upon resistance and responsibility as a means to move together. \nCONNAISSANCE DE LA FUGUE : HALIBUX by Jes Dolan\nWhat does poetry grasp when it tries to grasp a period of fugue? That depends on what it tries to hold on to: the part of the fugue that means a state\, a time of debility\, or the part of the fugue that means fugitivity\, an untracked movement; the part that is in the world\, or the part that is the world. By adopting the haibun form to take up encounters with poverty\, death\, invisibility and survival\, Jes Dolan suggests that this is not a question of parts\, but of different intensities in the grip\, the poetry\, itself. The haibun too\, by convention\, is split—first comes the descriptive delirium of its prose\, and then the wit\, disjunction and evasiveness of its haiku. To play on the title of Bashō’s famous book of haibun\, Connaissance de la fugue allows Dolan to recount a narrow road out of the interior\, in tones hard and soft\, broken and whole.

SUMMARY:Wiebke von Carolsfeld launches Claremont
DESCRIPTION:Join us in launching Wiebke von Carolsfeld’s Claremont! \nHow to survive the unthinkable? This is the question\nnine-year-old Tom has to face after witnessing his parent’s murder-suicide. After the horrific event\, Tom refuses to speak. At first\, he moves in with his childless Aunt Sonya\, but she is ill equipped to deal with the traumatized boy. Before long\, Tom is forced to move again\, this time to Claremont Street in downtown Toronto\, where he shares a run-down house with his mercurial Aunt Rose and his reckless yet endearing Uncle Will. As the seasons change\, Tom’s silence becomes a powerful presence\, allowing this fractured family to hear one another for the first time— and for Tom to finally find a home. Claremont is a gripping story of one family’s journey through grief and toward healing. \nWiebke von Carolsfeld is a writer and filmmaker living in Montreal. She has directed three critically acclaimed feature films (Marion Bridge\, Stay\, The Saver)\, winning numerous awards. She is a renowned feature film editor and has taught classes internationally on screenwriting\, filmmaking\, and the creative process. Claremont is her first novel. \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 ♥️

Venez rencontrer les auteurs à la session de dédicaces et passer une soirée au coeur de notre beau quartier! \nMémoire du Mile End est à la fois une société historique et un groupe communautaire actif. Nous fournissons des clés pour comprendre le passé afin que les gens puissent devenir des acteurs plus informés et impliqués dans leur communauté. En plus de notre travail historique\, nous organisons également des discussions avec des personnes concernées par des questions d’actualité telles que l’accès au logement\, la préservation d’espace pour les ateliers d’artistes\, l’appréciation du patrimoine architectural et la célébration de la diversité culturelle. \n////////// \nJoin us for the launch of a book that celebrates Mile End diversity! Mile End Memories\, the local history group\, associated itself with two local graphic artists\, Michel Hellman and Pascal Girard\, to publish a richly illustrated book who tells the neighborhood history. From the 19th century country inn to today’s vibrant cultural life. Come meet the authors and have your book signed over a lovely evening at the heart of our neighborhood! \nMile End Memories is both a historical society and an active community group. We provide keys to understanding the past so that people may become better informed and involved actors in their community. In addition to our historical work\, we also host discussions with people involved in current issues such as access to housing\, preserving space for artists’ workshops\, appreciation of architectural heritage\, and the celebration of cultural diversity.
