FREEHAND BOOKS SPRING 2 0 2 1 Message from the Publisher FREEHAND BOOKS SPRING 2 0 2 1 Message from the publisher Freehand is proud to support our authors throughout their writing careers, whether it’s their first book or their fifteenth. And so this season, we’re delighted to welcome back three authors we’ve had the privilege of working with before, with three new “modern classics.” Keith Maillard brings us The Bridge, an engaging, eye-opening memoir about growing up in West Virginia in the ‘40s and ’50s, never quite sure if he was a boy or a girl. Susan Olding has penned Big Reader, a clear-eyed collection of essays, in the vein of a modern-day Joan Didion, about divorce, stepparenting, aging parents, and her lifelong love of books. And The Lover, the Lake, written by Virginia Pesemapeo Bordeleau and translated by Susan Ouriou, is a captivating and joyous Indigenous romance. During these difficult times, thank you so much for your support of local Canadian authors and independent publishers like Freehand. kelsey attard Managing Editor, Freehand Books may 2021 One writer’s deeply compelling story of growing up nonbinary in the 1940s and ’50s “Most people know their gender identity by the time they are two or three. My memories don’t go back quite that far, but as far back as I do remember, I was never certain. I asked my mother and grandmother over and over again, ‘Am I a boy, or am I a girl?’— asked so many times they got sick of answering and started getting mad at me, and then I would hear, ‘I told you!’ They always told me that I was a boy, but I was never convinced. It would take me over sixty years to arrive at a clear understanding of my problem — I was trapped inside what we now would call ‘the gender binary,’ the notion that there are only two choices.” So begins The Bridge, Keith Maillard’s fascinating memoir of growing up in West Virginia in the 1940s and ’50s: a time and place where the word “nonbinary” didn’t exist. This memoir from one of Canada’s most celebrated writers is an instant classic — timely, accessible, and wonderfully evocative. Maillard is a natural, gifted storyteller. KEITH MAILLARD is the author of fourteen novels. He has won the Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize and was shortlisted for the Commonwealth Literary Prize and the Governor General’s Literary Awards. He grew up in Wheeling, West Virginia, and has lived for many years in Vancouver, where he teaches creative writing at UBC. also available: isbn 978-1-988298-78-8 $22.95 cdn 5 × 8 paperback 272 pages canadian rights BIO031000 Biography & Autobiography / LGBT SOC032000 Social Science / Gender Studies BIO026000 Biography & Autobiography / Personal Memoirs may 2021 A book about memory, loss, and reading from one of Canada’s finest essayists Ever since childhood, Susan Olding has been a big reader, never without a book on the go. Not surprising, then, that she turns to the library to read her own life. From the dissolution of her marriage to the forging of a tentative relationship with her new partner’s daughter, from discovering Toronto as a young undergrad to, years later, watching her mother slowly go blind: through every experience, Olding crafts exquisite, searingly honest essays about what it means to be human, to be a woman — and to be a reader. Big Reader is a brilliant, achingly beautiful collection about the slipperiness of memory and identity, the enduring legacy of loss, and the nuanced disappointments and joys of a reading life. “Susan Olding’s work combines the visceral force of lived experience with the nuance and narrative drive of the best fiction.” — Nino Ricci SUSAN OLDING’s first book, Pathologies: A Life in Essays, was longlisted for the RBC Taylor Prize, won the Creative Nonfiction Collective’s Readers’ Choice Award, and was selected by 49th Shelf and Amazon.ca as one of 100 Canadian books to read in a lifetime. A long-time resident of Kingston, Olding currently lives in Victoria. also available: ibsn 978-1-988298-81-8 $22.95 cdn 5.5 × 8.5 paperback 300 pages north american rights LCO010000 Literary Collections / Essays BIO026000 Biography & Autobiography / Personal Memoirs may 2021 A spellbinding novel celebrating Indigenous sensuality; the first erotic novel written by an Indigenous woman in French When it was first published in Quebec, The Lover, The Lake was heralded as the first erotic novel written by an Indigenous woman in French. Today, as it is translated into English for the first time, author Virginia Pesemapeo Bordeleau would rather call it a celebration of sensuality, another first. At a time when Indigenous peoples were being dispossessed of their land and history as well as their relationship to the body, the love explored by Wabougouni and Gabriel is an act of defiance. Their intimate connection plays out on the shores of Lake Abitibi in an affair as turbulent and unfathomable as the lake itself. “My hope is that this novel will serve to unearth the seed of joy buried deep in our culture, still profoundly alive . The Lover, the Lake shows us that we are not just suffering and victims: we can also be pleasure.” — from the prologue VIRGINIA PESEMAPEO BORDELEAU is an internationally recognized visual artist and writer of Cree origin. She has published three novels and two poetry collections in French. She received the 2020 Artist of the Year Award from the Counseil des arts et lettres du Québec. She lives in Abitibi, in northwest Quebec. SUSAN OURIOU is an award-winning writer, editor and literary translator, with over thirty translations and co-translations of fiction, non-fiction, children’s and young adult literature to her credit. She won the Governor General’s Literary Award for Translation. She lives in Calgary. also available: isbn 978-1-988298-84-9 $21.95 cdn 5.5 × 8.5 paperback 120 pages canadian rights FIC059000 Fiction / Native American & Aboriginal FIC027010 Fiction / Romance / Erotica FIC044000 Fiction / Women featured titles isbn 978-1-988298-74-0 $24.95 cdn isbn 978-1-988298-71-9 $22.95 cdn * Winner, City of Calgary W.O.

  • Writing Here1
    WRITING HERE1 W.H. NEW n 2003, for the BC Federation of Writers, Susan Musgrave assembled a collection of new fiction and poetry from some fifty-two IBC writers, called The FED Anthology.2 Included in this anthology is a story by Carol Matthews called “Living in ascii,” which begins with a woman recording her husband’s annoyance at whatever he sees as stupidity (noisy traffic and inaccurate grammar, for instance, and the loss of his own words when his computer apparently swallows them). This woman then tells of going to a party, of the shifting (and sometimes divisive) relationships among all the women who were attending, and of the subjects they discussed. These included a rape trial, national survival, men, cliffs, courage, cormorant nests, and endangered species. After reflecting on the etymology of the word “egg” (and its connection with the word “edge”), she then declares her impatience with schisms and losses, and her wish to recover something whole. The story closes this way: “If I were to tell the true story, I would write it not in words but in symbols, [like an] ... ascii printout. It would be very short and very true. It would go like this: moon, woman, woman; man, bird, sun; heart, heart, heart, heart, heart; rock, scissors, paper. The title would be egg. That would be the whole story.”3 This egg is the prologue to my comments here. So is the list of disparate nouns – or only seemingly disparate, in that (by collecting them as she does) the narrator connects them into story.

  • Remembering 1993
    Remembering 1993 I forgot Amnesia. This time last year, writing about 1992 publications, I omitted men- tioning Douglas Cooper's fascinating novel Amnesia, perhaps because (like the French-language works of Nancy Huston, recognized in 1993 with the Governor-General's Award) it was published first outside Canada. This possibility does not so much raise serious questions about the relevance of national boundaries to criticism as it comments on the difficulty (even in an age of "free" trade and mass communications) of keeping up with interesting publications wherever they appear. The bias of information networks always intervenes. Lately, there's been a kind of bureaucratic barrier also set up which promises to do an even more active disservice to Canadian readers. The Globe and Mail reported in February 1994 on the power over books that the Mulroney government of the 1980s (casually? or was it with deliberate intent?) granted to customs officers; a six-week training course in Rigaud, Quebec, including one afternoon on obscenity-recognition, constitutes (says the Globe) all the qualifications that that government thought nec- essary for the job of literary classification. Now, in practice, all kinds of books—textbooks, classics, children's books—are being barred at the border, often on the basis of a "keyword" in their title, but always in the name of decency. But there's another obstructive practice going on, too. By current regulations, if a foreign publisher sends a "gratis" review book to a Canadian journal at a Canadian university—even a book by a Canadian author, and sent "on spec"—the journal must pay a fee to a cus- toms broker (the minimum cost I've been quoted is $18.00) or else Canada Customs charges the university a fine of $100.00.
