Signature-Fall-08-Low.Pdf 2 … New Title / Non-fi ction Butter Cream A Year in a Montreal Pastry School DeniseWhat happens Roig when a 56-year-old fi ction writer decides to ditch it all and attend professional pastry chef school for a year? In writing that brings to mindAbout the thework Book of journalist/chef Michael Ruhlman, Butter Cream: A Year in a Montreal Pastry School tells the story of eleven months of whipping, spreading and creaming in the pursuit of perfection. When Denise Roig set out to do this – a lark, she thought – she had no idea what it would cost and what it would give back. Butter Cream is the chronicle of an intense year of learning and tasting, dramas at the stove and in the locker room. It’s about fi ghts, friendship and competition, fallen cakes and rising doughs. And sometimes, unexpectedly, the sheer joy of baking. It’s a memoir that also includes trips back to her mother’s and grandmother’s kitchens and to her own complicated relationship with all things sweet. I am the only one wearing the bloody uniform. Not only am I the oldest one here — judging from a quick scan of younger and way younger faces — but I look like a dork. A keener. And I know, since I’m usually teaching kids this age at this time of year, that there’s nothing less cool than a fi rst-day keener. I take the last available stool, shove my massive toolbox and bulging backpack under Non-fiction, CKB030000, BIO022000 the chrome counter, fumble for pen and paper. Everyone is dressed in late-summer 1-897109-29-6, 978-1897109-29-8 casual, while I glow extra-white in my high-necked chef’s jacket. $18.95 Cdn, $15.95 US 160 pp, 5.25 x 8, Paper Just last night Beauch, my husband, asked if I was going to tell my classmates at the start that I’m writing a book about this. No, I said. I want to blend in, be a student among students in the beginning. Sure. from Butter Cream About the Author Denise Roig has published two collections of short stories — A Quiet Night and a Perfect End, and Any Day Now (Signature Editions). The fi rst was translated into French as Le Vrai Secret du bonheur (Les éditions de la Pleine Lune), with fi ve stories produced on CBC Radio One’s “Between the Covers” in 2003, and rebroadcast in 2006. Any Day Now was shortlisted for the Quebec Writers’ Federation prize for fi ction in 2005. Denise has made a living for the past thirty years from corporate writing, freelance magazine and newspaper journalism and has taught both creative writing and journalism at Concordia University. Originally from Los Angeles, Denise has lived in Montreal for many years. New Title / Non-fi ction … 3 Marrying Hungary Linda Leith’s Leith memoir, Marrying Hungary, is the moving story of the daughter of Irish Communist parents who, after a peripatetic childhood, fallsAbout in love the and Book marries a Hungarian refugee. It is a glimpse into a life spent among foreigners, a tale of identity and eventual independence. And it reveals what few memoirs reveal: what brings a couple together, what marriage means to an ambitious and accomplished woman, and why sometimes even a good marriage eventually fails. I loved the idea of Andy’s big, lively family with all its stories and secrets and extraordinary characters. I’d heard the stories about how Andy and his sixteen fi rst cousins spent their summers together in the years before the revolution. That was at the family estate in the village of Csömör, north of Budapest. I’d heard all about its glory days, the tennis court, the orchards, the peasant children in the village with a striking resemblance to the philandering grandfather. I’d heard about the great-uncle’s extramarital affair, the profl igacy of this uncle, the injustice suffered by another, and the way yet another deliberately smashed his fi st into a tray laden with full glasses of pálinka under a crystal chandelier. All this was deeply romantic to me, a world out of a book. I was in love with the sound of that alien language and with all these stories at least as much as I was in love with Andy himself. Tomatoes and peppers had a fl avour I had never known. Non-fiction, BIO026000, BIO022000 In every corner restaurant a surly waiter served delicious caulifl ower soup, bean 1-897109-29-6, 978-1897109-29-8 soup with smoked pork, spicy gulyás soup. I loved them all. The children’s staple $18.95 Cdn, $15.95 US was bread and lard sprinkled with salt and paprika and eaten with slices of raw 160 pp, 5.25 x 8, Paper onion. Even this I ate with gusto, Andy and I agreeing it was far superior to bread and butter. I had no real idea what to expect, when I fi rst went to Budapest, but I accepted what I found there and I wanted to be accepted in turn. And why would I not be? from Marrying Hungary About the Author Linda Leith was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland. One of the most international of Canadian writers, she has lived in London, Basel, Brussels, Paris, Ottawa, Budapest and Montreal, where she founded and directs the hugely successful Blue Metropolis Montreal International Literary Festival. She has a Ph.D. in English Literature from the University of London, England, and is Adjunct Professor of English at Concordia University in Montreal.

After sneaking out on her boyfriend in Vancouver, Kathy moves back to Varnum and hides out in the basement of her high school buddy, Penny Lehman, in a room she shares with Penny’s skittish boa constrictor, Freddie.

And when she isn’t practicing, she’s warding off advances from fellow basement dweller “Little” Barry Bender, ignoring her well-meaning mother, Connie, hanging out with her best friend, champion baton twirler Darlyn Smola, and dealing a bit of marijuana for Penny’s husband Pete. But when Kathy stumbles upon a brutal murder she is fi nally driven to put her hockey stick where her heart is: on the ice.

I was thinking maybe I should take up bowling.” That’s how the hijacking section started. Connie thought she should take up fl ying. She’d never fl own before. Still hasn’t because she keeps developing theories about fl ying, or deterrents to fl ying, really. One of them has to do with the amount of worry it takes to hold an airplane in the sky. Worry keeps airplanes from crashing, Connie’s theory goes. Worry’s a bit like prayer. Carries the same weight and has the same effect, which is sometimes none, depending on the moment. from The Checkout Girl About the Author Susan Zettell is the author of two short story collections, Night Watch and Holy Days of Obligation.

February 15 – March 1, 2018 About the author Author Biography About the book An Interview with Dennis Bock Read on An Excerpt from Olympia The Communist’s Daughter by Dennis Bock An Excerpt from The Ash Garden Recommended Reading Web Detective Join the discussion at togetherweread.com The Communist’s Daughter by Dennis Bock February 15 – March 1, 2018 Author Biography Raised in Oakville, Ontario, Dennis Bock is one of five children born to German parents. His mother and father are both craftspeople: she, a weaver; he, a carpenter. The family lived near Lake Ontario, and Bock remembers his father building a sailboat in their basement, an experience that later influenced his short story collection,Olympia . There were few English-language books in his childhood home, so becoming a writer wasn’t Bock’s original career choice. As a boy, he dreamed of being a marine biologist. During high school, however, he got caught up in the magic of Gulliver’s Travels. “It was the first book I read with the understanding that someone’s mind had put all those words together— that someone’s imagination had constructed something that didn’t exist before.” After studying English and philosophy for three years at the University of Western Ontario, Bock set off for Spain. Wanderlust, he says, took him there. “Spain was the setting of some of my favourite stories and novels. I had a preconceived, literary notion of what it would look like. Of course, it was totally different.” He also wanted to experience dislocation and immigration, “to break down my elements.” While living in Madrid, Bock taught English as a foreign language and wrote short fiction.

  • The Use of Weather Images by Canadian Ethnic Short Story Writers
    Weronika Suchacka Motherhood and the Mother-Daughter Relations in Janice Kulyk Keefer’s The Ladies’ Lending Library Judit Nagy Károli Gáspár University of the Hungarian Reformed Church, Budapest, Hungary 45 The Use of Weather Images by Canadian Ethnic Short Story Writers Abstract The article features Canadian ethnic writers’ use of weather images and involves the discussion of some numerical insights as well as the examination of such qualitative markers as image role. It will be demonstrated through the contrastive analysis of the weather images employed in a sample of classic (1945-1979) and contemporary Canadian mainstream and ethnic (1980-2000) short stories that, going hand in hand with literary globalization, multiculturalism is an influential factor forming the fictional weather scene. Résumé L’article s’occupe de l’utilisation des images de temps dans les nouvelles canadiennes multiculturelles. Il présente des résultats numériques ainsi que des observations qualitatives comme le rôle des images. Ceux-ci nous amenent à conclure que, en tandem, le multiculturalisme et la globalisation littéraire sont des facteurs importants quant à la formation de la scène de temps littéraire. 1. Introduction The present article aims at examining Canadian ethnic short story writers’ use of weather im- ages, both with regard to quantitative and qualitative features, and in contrast to classic and contemporary Canadian mainstream writers. Factors which may facilitate “literary weather change” include multiculturalism, literary globalization and, through the alteration of the regional weather map, perhaps even global warming, as my earlier research results seem to hint. The current article will offer an attempt at estimating to what extent the first factor contributes to the process.

  • Fall 2015 After Light 2 … New Title / Fiction Catherine Hunter
    fall 2015 After Light 2 … New Title / Fiction Catherine Hunter After Light is the sumptuously rendered tale of four generations of the Garrison family, whose story begins when young Deirdre flees Ireland in 1920, seeking a better life in Brooklyn. The secrets she carries with her will shape the fates not only of Deirdre, but all who come after her. Her son Frank, a promising young artist, is blinded in WW2 and forced to create a whole new life for himself. He marries and settles in Canada, where his wife raises hothouse roses on the frozen prairie. But the war has shaken him deeply, and his two daughters, Von and Rosheen, live in terror of his violent outbursts. As the girls grow up, they grow apart. Rosheen, badly scarred by her childhood, takes refuge in her art and her pain medication. Von falls in love with a young man who cannot understand her sense of duty toward her troubled family. And then the family is torn apart by a shocking act of betrayal and an unbearable tragedy. In the aftermath, Rosheen moves to New York to live with Deirdre and begins the work that will one day make her name as an artist. But Von, too bitter to engage with the world, clings to home and refuses to care for anything except the roses in the greenhouse. When Rosheen dies and leaves behind an unfinished art project, based on family history and intended for an upcoming major show in New York, Von is forced out of seclusion. In her efforts to finish the project before the opening of the exhibit, Von travels to Ireland and Holland, completing Rosheen’s research and gathering her art works.
