Librairie Drawn & Quarterly Books of the Week - September 7, 2017
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.
(H)afrocentric Comics: Volumes 1-4
by Juliana Jewels Smith & Ronald Nelson
A disgruntled group of undergrads launch the first and only anti-gentrification website: mydiaspora.com, and engage in pressing dialogues on the housing crisis, racism, police violence, and absurdly expensive avocado toast.
After Kathy Acker
by Chris Kraus
In the first, fully authorized biography of iconic punk poet Kathy Acker, Chris Kraus paints a portrait with a swirl of meticulousness and intimacy.
Dr. Bethune’s Children
by Xue Yiwei
The Montreal-based writer Xue Yiwei has long been an acclaimed novelist in China, but until recently has been relatively unknown in Canada. His latest subversive novel, banned in China, engages with the effects of the distress and the repression facing his peers in recent decades.
Don’t Call Us Dead
by Danez Smith
Danez Smith’s second poetry collection is urgent, performative, and potent. In an immensely moving and lyrical opening sequence, Smith imagines an afterlife for black men shot by police.
Caca Dolce: Essays from a Lowbrow Life
by Chelsea Martin
Readers who gobbled down Chelsea Martin’s quirky novel Mickey (2016) should sink their teeth into Caca Dolce, her latest collection of essays, which features the American writer at her candid and erudite best.
