Ignored by critics and readers of the time, these poems were written by Canadians who witnessed the horror of World War I first-hand, forming an anthology in which the forgotten experiences of a decade are finally remembered.
This is an original, enthralling, wild, viscerally exciting and often bleakly funny urban story about Randy Gogarty. He is a free spirit, full of lust, full of himself, and he's lonely.
Set in the early 1950s in Montreal, this is the story of enigmatic Peggy Sanderson - a woman who has become a socially awkward presence due to her association with black musicians in Lower Town nightclubs. Taking place before the civil rights movement, this tragic story explores race relations with great moral complexity and compassion.
Both touchingly comical and extremely provocative, this novel deals with ennui in Quebec and the intellectual alienation of a disenchanted hero, Herve Jodoin. Jodoin has come to Saint Joachim to work in the town's only bookstore. The proprietor, Leon Chicoine, is a seemingly respectable man who claims to be the secret agent of free thought and liberty, keeping a collection of books for specific customers only. However, when Jodoin sells a book by a well-known, subversive author, the resulting crisis within the town involves not only Chicoine, but also the town priest and our hero's lonely landlady. This revised edition contains both English and French versions of the critical bibliography, a list of related readings, and chapter-by-chapter questions for discussion and essays.
Considering whether it is moral to use radical and violent solutions to stop the destruction of the environment, this dark novel portrays a succession of fights over land rights and pollution in northern Ontario. As tensions increase, a local Canadian Native man decides to follow his vision of revenge by kidnapping the manager of the paper mill and a reporter who arrives on the scene.
