Librairie Drawn & Quarterly Books of the Week - September 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.
Are You Listening? by Tillie Walden
Tillie Walden’s latest graphic novel brings back her signature super-saturated colour schemes and sprawling landscapes, but with a darkness we haven’t seen before. This touching intergenerational road trip story explores trust and trauma, with a little help from a magic cat.
Quichotte by Salman Rushdie
When you’ve been a literary superstar as long as Rushdie, what’s left for you to write? Don Quixote, of course. In this Booker-shortlisted new novel, Rushdie demonstrates that his ability to keep a finger on the pulse of contemporary life has kept pace with his evergreen reputation.
The Tenderness of Stones by Marion Fayolle
In this new book, Fayolle takes the fragmentation that comes with family illness literally, and then some. The characters’ father becomes a larger-than-life presence in their lives, leaving a trail of useless body parts that the whole family must come together to take care of.
Like by A.E. Stallings
Stallings’ latest collection is crowded with both familiar things and things so ubiquitous that mentioning them is unfamiliar. Nowhere is this more clear than in the poem for which the collection is named, a sestina in which we witness “like” as it transforms into both subject and object.
Cantoras by Carolina de Robertis
Set in Uruguay in the '70s and '80s, this new novel offers a new take on queer love. Five women make a home for themselves in a coastal retreat amidst a turbulent and hostile political landscape.
