Librairie Drawn & Quarterly Books of the Week - September 28, 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.
Anti-Gone
by Connor Willumsen
Montreal-based artist Connor Willumsen is “like Joyce with a joystick” in his latest comic book Anti-Gone, with striking dialogue and a complex narrative flitting between a virtual present and a dystopian future.
Brother
by David Chariandy
Recently longlisted for the Giller Prize, David Chariandy’s sophomore novel Brother is a precisely-wrought, achingly affecting account of the bond between brothers, and how they cope with the violence that surrounds them.
From the Stars in the Sky to the Fish in the Sea
by Kai Cheng Thom, Wai-Yant Li, Kai Yun Ching
The transcendental power of a mother’s love helps a shape-shifting and gender-variant child to change the world around them.
Cheer Up, Jay Ritchie
by Jay Ritchie
Editor at Montreal publisher Metatron, Jay Ritchie is an integral figure in the city’s literary scene. His first full collection of poetry is clever, concise, and stares down life’s gullet with “an alternating sense of wonder and detachment”.
My Ariel
by Sina Queyras
The latest release from Concordia University professor and prolific poet Sina Queyras is her personal take on Sylvia Plath’s iconic text.
