In the weekly Librairie Drawn & Quarterly Books of the Week, the Montreal bookstore recommends several new works of fiction, art books, periodicals, and comics.
Librairie Drawn & Quarterly is one of Montreal's premiere independent bookstores.
Uncomfortably Happily
by Yeon-sik Hong
New D+Q! In 2005, cartoonist Yeon-sik Hong and his wife moved to the Korean countryside in order to escape the hubbub of city-living. Uncomfortably Happily explores—in exquisite, minimal art—the unexpected anxieties that crop up in their attempt at “simple” living.
Kitaro and the Great Tanuki War
by Shigeru Mizuki
New D+Q! The latest installment in Shigeru Mizuki’s beloved Kitaro series continues the adventures of the eponymous hero as he musters the strength and courage to take on the evil Tanuki Army.
Hunger
by Roxane Gay
Roxane Gay is currently writing at a fever pitch; Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body is the prolific American’s second book published this year. Gay explores the nuances and tensions surrounding weight and self-image, often delving intimately into personal experience.
Blind Spot
by Teju Cole
Blind Spot is a collection of over 150 photographs from award-winning novelist and essayist Teju Cole, each accompanied by lyrical, haunting prose evoking the temperaments of Anne Carson, W.G. Sebald, and Chris Marker.
Debths
by Susan Howe
Susan Howe, a titanic figure in American poetry, has come out with her 13th book with New Directions Publishing—a puzzling, alluring assortment of lyrics and collage poems, demonstrating the seasoned poet at her electrifying finest.
