Librairie Drawn & Quarterly Books of the Week - June 5, 2019
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.
The Follies of Richard Wadsworth by Nick Maandag
Best known as the artist behind the cult comic Streakers, Nick Maandag has come out with a new collection with Drawn & Quarterly that is très drole. Do you enjoy watching foolish men look silly and fail miserably? Yes? This book is for you.
In Waves by AJ Dungo
Coloured in cool blue and sandy brown tones, In Waves is a beautifully drawn love letter to surf.
It offers a history of surfing, its danger, its heroes, and Dungo’s own personal connection to the sport. For real surfers and summertime dreamers.
On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong
With luminaries like Marlon James, Tommy Orange, Celeste Ng, and Ben Lerner singing its praises, there’s no shortage of anticipation for the debut novel of Ocean Vuong, who follows the success of Night Sky with Exit Wounds with a complex, urgent meditation on race, class, and masculinity, all delivered as a letter from a son to a mother who can’t read.
Orange World and Other Stories by Karen Russell
Weirdo at heart and enigmatic storyteller, Karen Russell has come out with a new short story collection that is as strange and wild as you would hope. She finds the familiar in the utterly fantastic. She’s like Italo Calvino meets Sabrina Orah Mark meets Helen Oyeyemi with a dash of climate speculations.
The beloved Tin House magazine is closing shop and has released its final issue! Spotlighting writing from a truly impressive array of writers, this is a not-to-miss publication. It features store favs like Man Booker International Winner Olga Tokarczuk, Colson Whitehead, Etgar Keret, Kelly Link, the aforementioned Karen Russell, and Brian Blanchfield.
