Librairie Drawn & Quarterly Books of the Week - November 23, 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.
Mrs Caliban
by Rachel Ingalls
A housewife begins an affair with a large green alien. Originally written in 1982, this genre-bending story mixes domestic realism with sci-fi strangeness, camp with romance, desire with sadness. A must read.
Artemis
by Andy Weir
From the author of The Martian comes a heist story set on the moon. Sold! This near future thriller is destined to be the season's ultimate frosty winter read.
Say hello to the ultimate feminist magazine. Published by The Wing, an ambitious and mighty women's club in NYC, this publication is about inclusively creating something special where men no longer exclusively define the content. In this glowing inaugural issue, you'll find features on Tavi Gevinson, J.D. Samson, and rapper Remy Ma.
Venture of an Infinite Man
by Pablo Neruda
Here is a beautiful new bilingual edition of Neruda' 1926 epic poem, a late departure from his more commonly known love poems. Minimal and delicate, experimental and dream-like, this work was considered by the artist himself to be one of his most important works.
The creators behind the mega successful Kinfolk magazine have branched out with a book on something they know all too well: creative business-making. With interviews form over 40 entrepreneurs on how they consider of and sell their work, this book will be something special for the growing creative class making their professional way.
