SUMMARY:The Art of Literary Translation
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, we will explore literary translation from French to English: fiction\, nonfiction\, poetry\, and songs. \n\n\n\nWe will look at contemporary literature from Quebec and France\, as well as some older (nineteenth- and twentieth-century) texts. Sources may include Gabrielle Roy\, Anne Hébert\, Annie Ernaux\, and Samuel Archibald. We will start by looking at an excerpt of a literary text in French and reading a published English translation of it. What difficulties (such as euphony\, voice\, word play\, and verb tense) did the translator face\, and how successful were they? At each meeting\, there will be time to produce your own translations\, often in groups. We will read our work aloud and comment on difficulties and strokes of inspiration. \n\n\n\nParticipants will have the opportunity to translate a further passage from the same work (or from another) as a homework assignment for the next meeting. The corrected assignments provide individual feedback and lead to discussion of the issues encountered. \n\n\n\nDuring the course of the workshop\, you’ll be asked to present a passage you have translated from a work you have chosen\, commenting on the issues it presents\, and describing ways of solving these issues. This is an ideal opportunity to begin or pursue a project you intend to submit to a publisher. Jonathan Kaplanskywon a French Voices Award to translate Nobel Prize-winning author Annie Ernaux’s La vie extérieure (Things Seen)for the University of Nebraska Press. Recent translations include Jonathan Bécotte’s Like a Hurricane (Orca\, 2023) and Hélène Rioux’s The End of the World is Elsewhere (Guernica\, 2022). He has sat on the juries for the translation category of the Governor General’s Literary Awards and the John Glassco Translation Prize and recently translated the libretto of an opera by Hélène Dorion and Marie-Claire Blais entitled Yourcenar: An Island of Passions.

SUMMARY:Daniel Allen Cox launches I Felt the End Before It Came in conversation with Heather O'Neill
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, May 16\, 7:00 pmIn person and livestreamed\n\n\n\nJoin Daniel Allen Cox in conversation with Heather O’Neill for the launch of I Felt the End Before It Came: Memoirs of a Queer Ex-Jehovah’s Witness\, which has been referred to by the latter author as “hugely entertaining\, open-hearted\, and insightful… a joy to read from start to finish.” The event will take place at La Petite Librairie Drawn & Quarterly at 176 rue Bernard O at 7 pm on Tuesday\, May 16th\, and will feature a reading\, a conversation\, Q&A and signing. \n\n\n\nThis event will be ASL interpreted. It is free and open to all. Books will be available for purchase at the event and the author will sign copies of their book. \n\n\n\nPlease note that we are asking all guests to wear masks at this event. Masks will be available free of charge upon entry. \n\n\n\nThe event will also be livestreamed on Drawn & Quarterly’s YouTube account—link to come. \n\n\n\nAbout the Book\n\n\n\nDaniel Allen Cox grew up with firm lines around what his religion considered unacceptable: celebrating birthdays and holidays; voting in elections\, pursuing higher education\, and other forays into independent thought. Their opposition to blood transfusions would have consequences for his mother\, just as their stance on homosexuality would for him. \n\n\n\nBut even years after whispers of his sexual orientation reached his congregation’s presiding elder\, catalyzing his disassociation\, the distinction between “in” and “out” isn’t always clear. Still in the midst of a lifelong disentanglement\, Cox grapples with the group’s cultish tactics—from gaslighting to shunning—and their resulting harms—from simmering anger to substance abuse—all while redefining its concepts through a queer lens. Can Paradise be a bathhouse\, a concert hall\, or a room full of books? \n\n\n\nWith great candour and disarming self-awareness\, Cox takes readers on a journey from his early days as a solicitous door-to-door preacher in Montreal to a stint in New York City\, where he’s swept up in a scene of photographers and hustlers blurring the line between art and pornography. The culmination of years spent both processing and avoiding a complicated past\, I Felt the End Before It Came reckons with memory and language just as it provides a blueprint to surviving a litany of Armageddons. \n\n\n\nAbout the Participants\n\n\n\nDaniel Allen Cox is the author of I Felt the End Before It Came: Memoirs of a Queer Ex-Jehovah’s Witness. His essays have appeared in Electric Literature\, Literary Hub\, Catapult\, TriQuarterly\, The Malahat Review\, The Rumpus\, Maisonneuve\, and elsewhere. His essay “The Glow of Electrum” was named Notable in Best American Essays 2021 and was a finalist for a 2021 National Magazine Award. Daniel is the author of four novels\, nominated for the Lambda Literary Award\, the Ferro-Grumley Award\, and the ReLit Award. He is past president of the Quebec Writers’ Federation and lives in Montreal. \n\n\n\nHeather O’Neill is a novelist\, short-story writer and essayist. Her most recent bestselling novel\, The Lonely Hearts Hotel\, won the Paragraphe Hugh MacLennan Prize for Fiction and was longlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction and CBC’s Canada Reads. Her previous work\, which includes Lullabies for Little Criminals\, The Girl Who Was Saturday Night and Daydreams of Angels\, has been shortlisted for the Governor General’s Literary Award for Fiction\, the Orange Prize for Fiction and the Scotiabank Giller Prize two years in a row. She has won CBC’s Canada Reads and the Danuta Gleed Award. Born and raised in Montreal\, O’Neill lives there with her daughter.

SUMMARY:Eliza Robertson launches I Got A Name in conversation with Kasia Van Schaik
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, May 18 at 7 pmLa Petite Librairie Drawn & Quarterly\n\n\n\nJoin Eliza Robertson at La Petite Librairie Drawn & Quarterly at 176 rue Bernard O at 7 pm on Thursday\, May 18th for the launch of her new book I Got A Name! The evening will feature a reading\, a conversation with Kasia Van Schaik\, Q&A and signing. \n\n\n\nThe event is free and open to all. Books will be available for purchase at the event and the author will sign copies of their book. \n\n\n\nPlease note that we are asking all guests to wear masks at this event. Masks will be available free of charge upon entry. \n\n\n\nAbout the Book\n\n\n\nA vivid and meticulous true-crime story that exposes the deep fractures in a system that repeatedly fails to protect women\, while tracking the once-cold trail of a murderer still at large. \n\n\n\nKrystal Senyk was the kind of friend everybody wants: a reliable confidant\, a handywoman of all trades\, and an infectious creative with an adventurous spirit. Most importantly\, she was tough as nails. So when her best friend needed support to leave her abusive husband\, Ronald Bax\, Krystal leapt into action. \n\n\n\nBut soon Krystal became the new outlet for Bax’s rage. He terrorized and intimidated her for months on end\, and finally issued a chilling warning to her and his ex-wife: the hunt is on. Krystal was scared but she was smart: she reached out to the RCMP for a police escort home. The officer brushed her off. \n\n\n\nBax’s threat had been all too real. At 29 years old\, the woman who seemed invincible—who was a beloved sister\, daughter\, and friend—was shot and killed at her home in the Yukon. Ronald Bax disappeared without a trace. \n\n\n\nThree decades later\, Eliza Robertson has re-opened the case. In compelling\, vibrant prose\, she works tirelessly to piece together Krystal’s story\, retracing the dire failings of Canadian law enforcement and Bax’s last steps. I Got a Name uses one woman’s tragic story to boldly interrogate themes of gender-based violence and the pervasive issues that plague our society. In this riveting true-crime story about victimhood\, power\, and control\, Robertson examines the broken system in place\, and asks: if it isn’t looking out for the vulnerable\, the threatened\, the hunted—who among us is it protecting? \n\n\n\nAbout the Author\n\n\n\nEliza Robertson attended the University of Victoria and the University of East Anglia\, where she received the 2011 Man Booker Scholarship. In 2013\, she won the Commonwealth Short Story Prize and was a finalist for the CBC Short Story Prize and Journey Prize. Her novel Demi-Gods won the Paragraphe Hugh MacLennan Prize for Fiction. Her first story collection\, Wallflowers\, was shortlisted for the East Anglia Book Award and selected as a New York Times Editor’s Choice. In 2015\, she was named one of five emerging writers for the Writers’ Trust Five x Five program. She lives in Montreal. \n\n\n\nAccessibility:\n\n\n\n\nWearing a mask is encouraged at all D&Q events\n\n\n\nEvent 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\n\n\nIt is not a sober space; our events sometimes offer alcohol

SUMMARY:Everything for Everyone
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, May 19\, 7:00-9:00 pmArgo Bookshop\n\n\n\nJoin us on Friday\, May 19th as we welcome authors M.E. O’Brien and Eman Abdelhadi along with Helen Hudson to discuss their novel of revolutionary science fiction\, Everything for Everyone: An Oral History of the New York Commune\, 2052-2072!The event begins at 7 pm and is free and open to all. It will take place in-store; please note that masks are required at the Argo. As space is limited\, RSVPs are recommended via Eventbrite by clicking here. \n\n\n\nAbout the Book\n\n\n\nBy the middle of the twenty-first century\, war\, famine\, economic collapse\, and climate catastrophe had toppled the world’s governments. In the 2050s\, the insurrections reached the nerve center of global capitalism—New York City. This book\, a collection of interviews with the people who made the revolution\, was published to mark the twentieth anniversary of the New York Commune\, a radically new social order forged in the ashes of capitalist collapse. \n\n\n\nHere is the insurrection in the words of the people who made it\, a cast as diverse as the city itself. Nurses\, sex workers\, antifascist militants\, and survivors of all stripes recall the collapse of life as they knew it and the emergence of a collective alternative. Their stories\, delivered in deeply human fashion\, together outline how ordinary people’s efforts to survive in the face of crisis contain the seeds of a new world. \n\n\n\nAbout the Authors\n\n\n\nM. E. O’Brien writes and speaks on gender freedom and capitalism. Everything for Everyone was her first book\, coauthored with Eman Abdelhadi. Her second book\, Family Abolition: Capitalism and the Communizing of Care\, will be out from Pluto in June 2023. She co-edits two magazines\, Pinko\, on gay communism\, and Parapraxis\, on psychoanalytic theory and politics. She works as a therapist\, and is pursuing training as a psychoanalyst. \n\n\n\nEman Abdelhadi is an academic\, artist and activist based in Chicago who writes and thinks at the intersection of gender\, sexuality\, politics\, and identity. She is co-author of “Everything for Everyone: An Oral History of the New York Commune\, 2052-2072\,” a revolutionary sci-fi novel published in 2022 with Common Notions Press. Her academic work has been published in numerous peer-reviewed journals and covered by press outlets such as the Washington Post\, Associated Press\, and NPR.  Abdelhadi received her PhD in Sociology in 2019 and is currently an assistant professor at the University of Chicago.  \n\n\n\nThe authors will be joined by discussant Helen Hudson. Helen Hudson has been involved in movements for social liberation for over 30 years\, mostly while living in Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal. Her work has included antiracist\, feminist\, and queer organizing; eco-justice work; student activism; anarchist movement building; prisoner solidarity and migrant justice.
