Badami deftly handles terrifying shifts in tradition and social order.” —ELLE “A skilled writer can convey epic events through the lives of ordinary people. Badami’s [book] is an outstanding example of such skill…. In graceful prose, replete with the sensuous details of everyday life, she gives us a portrait of resilience and adaptability in the face of personal disillusion, trauma, and disintegrating tradition.” —COMMONWEALTH PRIZE JURY “This is a substantial, satisfying read, elegantly written and effortlessly compelling. Much reminiscent of Rohinton Mistry.” —THE INDEPENDENT, UK “A picture of post-colonial India is vividly conjured up…. Sharply realized as the minor characters are, they are never allowed to overshadow the central figures…. The more upbeat mood [of the latter part of the book] mitigates the sadness of the rest, and brings this very accomplished first novel to a quiet and satisfying conclusion.” —THE TIMES, UK fiction 3 Judy Fong Bates The Year of Finding memory: A memoir A probing memoir about a daughter’s search to understand remarkable and terrible truths about her parents’ past 80,000 words hardcover / Manuscript available “Judy Fong Bates’ new memoir, The Year of Finding Memory, is the most accurate and heart felt written account of what it’s like to go back to the Chinese countryside in search of your roots that I’ve ever read. She captures the beauty of the villages, the sense of returning home to a place you’ve never been, the heartache, joy, understanding and longing that you feel, and that very real there-but-for-the-grace-of-God emotion that you experience in meeting your relatives who were left behind. Beautiful!” –LISA SEE, AUTHOR OF Shanghai girlS, Peony in love AND SnoWFloWer and the Secret Fan RIGHTS SOLD Canada: Random House, “With the elegant brush strokes of a miniaturist, Judy Fong Bates brings April 2010 alive the world of her family both in Canada and China. In doing so, she tells the tale of two nations and what it means to live on the bridge that spans the countries. The Year of Finding Memory explores the universal journey of trying to construct, out of the debris of the past, an understanding of our ancestry. This poignant memoir explores the universal passage we must all take to discover an understanding of ourselves.” –SHYAM SELvADURAI, AUTHOR OF Funny Boy AND cinnaMon gardenS Growing up in her father’s hand laundry in small-town Ontario, Judy Fong Bates listened to the mystery and allure of her parents’ stories of their past lives in China, an exotic and exciting place far removed from their humdrum everyday lives . Then a half-century after her arrival, Judy Fong Bates, her husband and her brothers travelled back to China for the first time . The reunion with her older sister and other relatives in China spiralled into a series of unanticipated and shocking discoveries . In her ancestral village she heard stories of her mother, a glamorous young woman who arrived from the big city to teach, chasing her father, the exalted village leader and wealthy Gold Mountain Guest . These stories didn’t match what she’d witnessed of her parents, who were poverty-stricken and always at odds with each other . Possessed with a need to reconcile these facts, Fong Bates returned a year later and immersed herself in a place so unexpectedly bountiful that she finally began to understand her parents in a way that she never did when they were alive . 4 non-fiction midnight at the Dragon Café The life of a young Chinese girl is torn apart by dark family secrets and divided loyalties in a small Ontario town in the 1950s 315 pages hardcover / Finished books available • The 2007 “One Community, One Book” selection for Portland, Oregon • Winner of a 2006 Alex Award from the American Library Association • An American Library Association Notable Book for 2006 PRAISE FOR JuDY FONG BATES’ MIDNIGHT AT THE DRAGON CAFÉ “In deceptively simple, intimate prose, Judy Fong Bates captures the complexities of a childhood filled with secrets, longing, and superstition, and powerfully exposes the lengths to which families will go to survive. Midnight at the Dragon Café is an original, haunting debut novel.” RIGHTS SOLD —KIRKUS REvIEWS, STARRED REvIEW US: Counterpoint Press, April 2005 “The mounting suspense of family secrets makes this first novel a Canada: McClelland & breathless read, even as the simple, beautiful words make you want to Stewart, February 2004 stop and read the sentences over and over again.” Thailand: Sanskrit Books —BOOKLIST, STARRED REvIEW ALSO AvAILABLE “Bates writes in clean, understated prose, imbuing her characters with a China Dog and Other lasting poignancy.” Stories from the Chinese —ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY Laundry “Judy Fong Bates catches and holds our attention like a teacher of unruly kids: She whispers… unpretentious prose.” —THE WASHINGTON POST “The simplicity and honesty of Fong Bates’ composition… puts the readers right in the midst of ‘Dragon Café’.” —THE PLAIN DEALER, CLEvELAND “A deeply affecting debut novel…, Bates conveys with pathos and generosity the anger, disappointment, vulnerability and pride of people struggling to balance duty and passion.” —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY “An elegant first novel.” —CHATELAINE “[Bates’] attention to physical detail is matched by compassionate understanding, which gives real weight to the telling of the submerged, drowning passion hidden in this household.” —THE NATIONAL POST fiction 5 Alan Bradley The Weed that Strings the Hangman’s Bag The second installment of the Flavia de Luce mystery series 384 pages / Finished books available “A gloriously eccentric cast of characters… There’s not a reader alive who wouldn’t want to watch Flavia in her lab concocting some nefarious brew.” —KIRKUS REvIEWS Flavia de Luce didn’t intend to investigate another murder—but, then again, Rupert Porson didn’t intend to die . When the master puppeteer’s van breaks down in Bishop’s Lacey, he puts on a show with his loyal assistant, the disarmingly charming Nialla, prone (by Flavia’s estimation) to strange bruises and long, solitary cries in graveyards .

Although Charles Boatman’s suicide lies at the centre of the narrative, Dthe novel — and Charles himself — is also haunted by other deaths: the death of Charles’s ex-wife, Sara, the deaths of innocents in Vietnam, and the deaths of animals. It rotates around various absences and, as is frequently the case in Bergen’s fiction, highlights individual suffering and alienation within the family unit1: Charles returns to Vietnam in the hope of ascribing meaning to the “great field of nothing” that he has experienced since the war (38), while two of his children, Ada and Jon, travel to Vietnam to search for their missing father only to discover he has committed suicide.

Copyright : 2012, Resource Links Contemporary Canadian Adult Books for Strong Teen Readers by Margaret Mackey with Gail de Vos, Heather Ganshorn, Ingrid Johnston, Jill Kedersha McClay, and Kristine Moruzi With this column, our eighteenth in an ongoing annual series, we present our pick of contemporary Canadian adult publishing that we believe has the potential to appeal to strong teenage readers. We began this work in 1996 believing that good teen readers were seriously under-served when it came to reading advice. Where should they go when they begin to come to the end of the road with young adult literature (as wonderful as much of that literature undoubtedly is)? Who provides guidance on the kinds of adult materials that might speak to a teenager? We saw a vacuum, and we have made efforts to step into that empty space ever since. As usual, our main selection criterion is that the book should have some kind of youth appeal. Middle-age crises need not apply to appear on these pages. We do not screen for strong language or graphic sex or violence; we assume that a confident teenage reader will not hesitate to put down a book if it does not appeal, for whatever reason.

    Dictionaries Were, However, Better – and Were Relentlessly Promoted in Canada’S Middlebrow Media by Their Editor, the Jolly Mediævalist Katherine Barber

    The right reason to write a book Anger. Or is that the wrong reason? Either way, it is what drove me to write Organizing Our Marvellous Neighbours. But let me start out with a bit of personal history. I was always a good speller. On the only occasion I lost a spelling bee in grade school, the word that did me in was beau, ironically enough. One year, we had a weekly writing lesson in which I sat at the front of the class spelling words on demand for my fellow students. Thirty years have passed, but I still notice spelling. I notice spelling mistakes. Those aren’t always important (perfect spelling in your chat window does not make your instant messages perfect), but spelling mistakes, punctuation errors, and the like will jump right out at me. They’re often the first thing I notice when I look at a page – a phenomenon that carried through to the publication of my first book, where I noticed the mistakes before anything else. But I’ve noticed other things beyond misspellings. I noticed across-the- board American spellings in Canadian publications – and, much more often, all- British spellings. I noticed those things, but that’s all I did. The year 2002 would be a turning point. I’d been watching TV captioning for 30 years, but it was in 2002 that CBC agreed to closed-caption 100% of its programming on two networks, CBC Television and Newsworld. That came about as the result of a human-rights complaint that CBC had lost.

    "A Press with Such Traditions": Oxford University Press of Canada Ruth

    "A Press with Such Traditions": Oxford University Press of Canada Ruth Panofsky' On Tuesday, 10 August 1904, when Oxford University Press established a branch in Canada,2 it joined a small but significant group of publishing houses already operating in Toronto. By the turn of the century, Toronto had become a centre for Canada's burgeoning publishing industry, home to the Copp Clark Company, W.J. Gage and Company, and the Methodist Book and Publishing House (later Ryerson Press), for example. When Oxford University Press set up shop on "Booksellers' Row"3 at Zy Richmond Street West, the company sought to consolidate its presence in the small Canadian market with a view to establishing itself as an important branch. Eight years earlier, in September 1896, Oxford had opened its first branch operation in New York. The founding of a second branch in Toronto served, in fact, to widen Oxford's presence in North America. By 1929, the Toronto branch could announce with "great pride" that it represented "a Press with such traditions, and such a record of useful and important work, not only in the development of printing but in the History of England."4 After twenty-five years in Canada, Oxford University Press had begun to realize its hopes for expansion. I Ruth Panofsky is Associate Director of the ]Joint Graduate Programme in Communication and Culture at Ryerson University. Her most recent publications include Adele Wiseman: Essays on Her Works and Lifeline, a volume of poetry. She thanks Joanna Gertler, Laura Macleod, Martin Maw, and Phyllis Wilson of Oxford University Press; Jan Walter of Macfarlane Walter 8< Ross; Jim Armour, Vivian Luong, Roy MacSkimming, and Bill Toye for their assistance .

    ISSUE No. 39, June 2007 ISSN 0840–5565 Robarts Library Staff Pick Their Favourites Collection Development at UTL This issue, besides the regular spring issue staples, features articles by members of the Collection he Collection Development Depart- ment of the University of Toronto Development Department and Order Section of the Robarts Library on recent acquisitions for the Library, since its inception as the Book Fisher Library, which they thought would be of particular interest to our readers. TSelection Department in 965, has enjoyed a strong working relationship with the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library and its staff. Established in response to the unprec- edented growth of the graduate programs at the University, the Department’s main responsibility was and remains the selection of research–level and undergraduate materials housed in the central campus libraries, includ- ing the collections in the Robarts Library for the Humanities and Social Sciences and the Gerstein Science Information Centre. Staffed by librarians with subject and language exper- tise, the Department acquires titles through a combination of broadly–based approval plans (where book dealers around the world are authorized by the Library to select and supply new publications of research quality, the plans being based upon detailed written profiles that outline the parameters of our collecting interests), as well as librarian–initiated orders, and the generous support of donors. While most selection activities of the librarians in the Department are focused on building the general collections in the main libraries, Freedman’s dust jacket design for Siegfried Sassoon’s Memoirs of an Infantry Officer. opportunities do arise to acquire material for the Fisher collections.
