JONNY APPLESEED HIGHLIGHTS Jonny Appleseed is a unique, shattering vision of Indigenous life, full of grit, glitter, and dreams. “Joshua Whitehead redefines what queer Indigenous writing can be in his powerful debut novel. Jonny Appleseed transcends genres of writing to blend the sacred and the sexual into a vital expression of Indigenous desire and love. Reading it is a coming home to bodies, stories, and experiences of queer Indigenous life that has never been so richly and honestly shown before. This book is an honour song to every queer NDN body who has ever lived and it will transform the universe with its beauty and magic.” FROM THE BACKLIST —Gwen Benaway, author of Passage “If we’re lucky, we’ll find one or two books in a lifetime that change the language of story, that manage to illuminate new curves in the flat vessels of old letters and words.

  • Our Fall 2021 Catalogue
    ARSENAL PULP PRESS FALL 2021 DEAR FRIENDS: I write this as we are coming off the extraordinary high of having had two of our books make it to the finale on this year’sCanada Reads competition on the CBC: in the end, Joshua Whitehead’s Jonny Appleseed, defended by actor Devery Jacobs, prevailed over Francesca Ekwuyasi’s THE PUBLISHER A LETTER FROM FROM A LETTER , championed by chef and TV host Roger Mooking. NEW RELEASE Butter Honey Pig Bread It was one of those incredible is-this-really-happening moments, made all the more remarkable by the fact that both books were acclaimed debut novels written by authors who are members of both the LGBTQ2S+ and BIPOC communities—two constituencies who are the heart and soul of our publishing program. It’s extra gratifying that this has happened in 2021, which marks the fiftieth anniversary of Arsenal Pulp Press. In 1971, a group of university students, writers, and assorted literary misfits created a publishing house that was unapologetically West Coast in its temperament and anti-establishment sensibility. This group included great underappreciated writers such as D.M. Fraser and Jon Furberg, as well as the brothers Osborne—Tom and my mentor Stephen, who went on to found the first-rate literary maga- zine Geist. Pulp’s daring, anarchic approach to publishing back in the day was a powerful inspiration to me, and something that I aspire to uphold in our publishing choices to this day. As we emerge from the darkness of the past pandemic year, I hope we all choose to hold on to the lessons we’ve learned that have made us stron- ger, kinder, and more resilient.
