Librairie Drawn & Quarterly Books of the Week - February 12, 2020
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.
Until We Are Free edited by Rodney Diverlus, Sandy Hudson and Syrus Marcus Ware
This anthology is an essential document tracing the origins and evolution of the Black Lives Matter within a Canadian context. With contributions from writers, academics, and artists, this collection is an important contribution to a vital and urgent movement.
Weather by Jenny Offill
Jenny Offill’s new novel is a funny, eccentric story of a family and country in crisis as told through the eyes of an empathetic librarian.
I Know You Know Who I Am by Peter Kispert
This debut short story collection is populated with liars. The twin arts of deception and performance and their roles in the attempt at cultivating a sense of intimacy are - often humorously - explored here.
Disfigured by Amanda Leduc
An illuminating set of essays that dissects the fairy tale, re-examining it from the perspective of one who is differently-abled. As children it is taken for granted that we will identify with the hero of the story; Amanda Leduc explores the ramifications of this, both on the individual and society in general
Feminism: A Graphic Guide by Cathia Jenainati, Judy Groves and Jem Milton
This illustrated introduction serves as a reference to anyone who wishes to learn about the history of feminism in all its complexity. Accompanied by bold black and white imagery, a multitude of historical and contemporary feminist perpectives are summarized, serving as a more inclusive guide to the subject.
