SUCH A LOVELY LITTLE WAR NEW RELEASE Saigon, 1961-63 This riveting, beautifully produced graphic memoir tells the story of the early years of the Vietnam war as seen through the eyes of a young boy named Marco, the son of a Vietnamese MARCELINO TRUON TRUONG diplomat and his French wife. The book opens in America, SUCHUNE SIA LOVELY JOLIE where the boy’s father works for the South Vietnam embassy; PETITELITTLE GUERRE WAR there the boy is made to feel self-conscious about his otherness SAIGONSAIGON 1961-63 thanks to schoolmates who play war games against the so- called “Commies.” The family is called back to Saigon in 1961, where the father becomes Prime Minister Ngo Dinh Diem’s personal interpreter; as the growing conflict between North and South intensifies, so does turmoil within Marco’s family, as his mother struggles to grapple with bipolar disorder. Visually powerful and emotionally potent, Such a Lovely Little War is both a large-scale and intimate study of the Vietnam war as seen through the eyes of the Vietnamese: a turbulent national history interwined with an equally traumatic familial one.

BECOMING UNBECOMING NEW RELEASE This extraordinary graphic novel is a powerful denunciation of sexual violence against women. As seen through the eyes of a twelve-year-old girl named Una, it takes place in northern England in 1977, as the Yorkshire Ripper, a serial killer of prostitutes, is on the loose and creating panic among the townspeople. As the police struggle in their clumsy attempts to find the killer, and the headlines in the local paper become more urgent, a once self-confident Una teaches herself to “lower her gaze” in order to deflect attention from boys. After she is “slut-shamed” at school for having birth control pills, Una herself is the subject of violent acts for which she comes to blame herself. But as the police finally catch up with and identify the killer, Una grapples with the patterns of behaviour that led her to believe she was to blame. Becoming Unbecoming combines various styles, press clippings, photo-based illustrations, and splashes of colour to convey young Una’s sense of confusion and rage, as well as sobering statistics on sexual violence against women. The book is a Usa (a pseudonym) is an artist, academic, and comics creator.

PEN Canada promotes literature, fights censorship, helps free persecuted writers from prison, and assists writers living in exile in Canada. PEN Canada is a registered charity. FOREWORD The dramatic advances in communications technology have forever changed not only how we access and disseminate information, but also how we connect with one another. The tumults of the Arab Spring have shown that networked citizens can harness tremendous power to effect social change. But we have also learned only too well how easily authoritarian regimes can choke the flow of information and control the infrastructure to repress popular uprisings and quash dissent. What does this exciting, terrifying, profoundly ambiguous new world mean for writers? And what does it mean for a human rights organization, like PEN, that is focused on free expression? This year’s annual report pays tribute to writers whose online utterances have been monitored, hacked, censored and used by repressive regimes, often as a prologue to detention, imprisonment and torture. These writers have gone online only to be taken offline. In our turn, PEN Canada has begun to leverage online platforms to strengthen ties with our members and supporters, to reach a wider audience and to engage in a broader public dialogue.

    “You’re gonna need a rock and a whole lotta medicine” Whitehead is a mantra that Jonny Appleseed, a young Two-Spirit/Indigiqueer and NDN glitter princess, Joshua Joshua repeats to himself in this vivid and utterly compelling debut novel by Joshua Whitehead. Off the rez and trying to find ways to live, love, and survive in the big city, Jonny has one week before he must return to his home—and his former life—to attend the funeral of his stepfather. The seven days that follow are like a fevered dream: stories of love, trauma, sex, kinship, ambition, and heartbreaking recollections of his beloved kokum (grandmother). Jonny’s life is a series of breakages, appendages, and linkages—and as he goes through the motions of preparing to return home, he learns how to put together the pieces of his life. 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.

    Please Stop the Cruel Omnibus Crime Bill. We Can Make Canada Safer, Not Meaner

    Please stop the cruel Omnibus Crime Bill. We can make Canada safer, not meaner. To our Federal and Provincial leaders: We agree that Canadians should work together to make our country a safer, more just place for everyone. However, we have grave concerns about the proposed federal Bill C-10, the crime bill that is currently being rushed through Parliament in Ottawa. We don’t want the federal government to impose mandatory sentences that will fill new prisons with people who should not be there. We have seen that strategy fail completely in the United States. Why would we repeat that dangerous experiment here in Canada? We need to focus on the causes of crime, instead of paying endlessly for the consequences. We believe that Canada should use an evidence-based approach to justice. We should be committed to preventing crimes, and to restorative justice that meets the victim’s needs and helps the community to heal. We ask that you join with other provinces in refusing to pay for Bill C-10, and instead call for the establishment of an independent commission of diverse citizens and experts to create a plan for Canadian justice that is fully costed and effective. Sincerely, 29,040+ Canadians from every Province and Territory, across every riding: 1 / 67 Alberta Calgary Centre: Robyn Moody, Mel Byer, Patricia Thille, Rachel Simpson, Becky MacIsaac, Ben Wagler, Linda McFarlane, Vincent Collado, Gustave Yaki, Philip Clark, Laura Angus, Kit Dobson, Jerra Hjelte, Mackenzie Turner, Karen Pollock, Andrea Llewellyn, Jill Mcnaughton, Rita Bozi, Bradley

    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.

    PEN Canada Annual Report 2013

    Cover with spine.indd 1 13-08-30 12:19 PM Preface By Diana Kuprel This past year, PEN Canada shone a spotlight on free expression issues at home. We launched Non-Speak Week. Across all platforms – in online videos, blogs, articles and short stories, at public panels and readings – we engaged Canadians in a robust dialogue on the state of freedom of expression in Canada. That dialogue continues. In these efforts, we are building on a tradition that includes supporting gay bookstores in their fight against Canada Customs’ seizure of publications entering Canada, intervening in the case of a prominent activist and writer arrested and charged with criminal conspiracy during the G20 protests, and urging the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council to reverse its decision to ban the original version of the Dire Straits’ song Money for Nothing. They did. PEN Canada is vigilant that the new normal in Canada must be one that remains committed to upholding not only freedom of expression, but also, as one of our contributors, a Sri Lankan journalist who was recently granted convention refugee status, reminds us, “the humanity of Canada.” Supreme Court Justice Peter Cory once stated, it “is difficult to imagine a guaranteed right more important to a democratic society” than freedom of expression. Not merely a right – it is also difficult to imagine a more fundamental human value. PEN CANADA 1 A JOURNEY WITHOUT MAPS By Ilamaran Nagarasa From the cradle to the grave, every person who belongs to the Tamil community is taught the importance of three words: culture, discipline and duty.
