2 newestpress.com NEW TITLE INFORMATION Icefields: Landmark Edition by Thomas Wharton A new edition of an award-winning Western Canadian classic.

In 1898, Doctor Edward Byrne slips on the ice of the Arcturus glacier in the Canadian Rockies and slides into a crevasse, wedged upside down nearly sixty feet below the surface. As he fights losing consciousness, a stray beam of sunlight illuminates the ice in front of him and Byrne sees something in the blue-green radiance that will forever link him to the ancient glacier. In this moment, his life’s purpose becomes uncovering the mystery of the icefield that almost was his tomb. Along the way, he encounters similarly fixated individuals, each immersed in their own quest: the healer and storyteller Sara; the bohemian travel writer Freya Becker; the entrepreneur Trask; the poet Hal Rowan; and Elspeth, greenhouse keeper and Byrne’s lover. First published in 1995, Wharton’s Icefields is an astonishing historical novel set in a mesmerizing literary landscape, one that is constantly being altered by the surging and retreating glacier and unpredictable weather. Here—where Trade Paperback / October 15, 2021 characters are pulled into deep chasms of ice as well as the stories and ISBN 10: 1-77439-036-1 histories they tell one another—is a vivid, daring, and crisply written book that reveals the human spirit, loss, myth, and elusive truths. ISBN 13: 978-177439-036-8 BISAC 1: FIC014000 This updated Landmark Edition includes an author interview with Smaro Kamboureli and an Afterword by award-winning writer .

3 newestpress.com NEW TITLE INFORMATION The Cine Star Salon by Leah Ranada Sophia is pulled between the life she imagines, the life her parents imagine, and what the world has in store for her.

Philippine-born Vancouverite Sophia is most grateful for two things: her modest hair salon and Adrian, her mild-mannered fiancé. She is eager to get married, move away from her highly educated but career-frustrated parents, who believe that their daughter can be so much more than a beautician. Then Sophia’s estranged friend reaches out from Manila, desperate for help. After a dubious accident, her fiery Auntie Rosy is on the verge of losing the Cine Star Salon—the place where Sophia first felt the call to become a hairstylist and salon owner. Coming to her auntie’s aid is not so easy though. Sophia worries helping might reopen old wounds and threaten the bright future she has planned. Leah Ranada’s debut novel is a graphic and engaging depiction of the importance of women’s work and the loyalties that connect friends across oceans. Recalling the work of Doretta Lau, Alex Leslie, and Lauralyn Chow, Trade Paperback / October 1, 2021 The Cine Star Salon marks the entry of a vital new voice in Canadian literature.

4 newestpress.com NEW TITLE INFORMATION Last Tide by Andy Zuliani

A debut novel that confronts the near future in microcosm.

Ana and Win find themselves stuck, lifting the weight of their pasts, while frustrated by their present jobs: photographing vacant lots and decayed industrial sites, cataloguing the decline of capitalist excess to digitally scrub away humanity, making way for more gentrification. When the pair is sent by their employers to a rustic island in the Pacific Northwest—home to hippies, runaways, and survivalist preppers—they meet Lena, an oceanographer and climate scientist, who has moved to the island in search of “the big one,” the cataclysmic earthquake and tsunami that she knows is the island and the West Coast’s due; and Kitt, an athleisure clothing mogul, who is overseeing the construction of a vacation home that will serve as his apocalypse-shelter. These four people’s lives intertwine as a police investigation throws life on the island into disarray, as activists and agents provocateurs take action, as Trade Paperback / October 1, 2021 dormant fault lines begin to tremble.

5 newestpress.com NEW TITLE INFORMATION Tenure by Kieran Egan

A fun blend of crime thriller and campus comedy.

Saved from certain death on the Whistler-Vancouver highway after his luxury car malfunctions, Mark Morata feels honour-bound to reward his rescuer, Geoff Pybus, with a token of his undying gratitude. Geoff, a frustratingly humble university professor, happy with his family’s lot in life, only wants the impossible: for his modest, straightforward wife to get tenure at her university. Luckily, Mark is a man for whom impossible is just another word. As a sophisticated importer-exporter of certain recreational substances (“drug lord” is such a cliché), Mark gets to work on the academic world with the same relentless nature that helped him climb to the top of the cartel. However, the hallowed campus halls reveal an environment that is vicious and corrupt beyond anything he has ever encountered in the drug business... Kieran Egan’s Tenure is a wildly entertaining satire mash-up, where Don Winslow’s Border trilogy collides with Julie Schumacher’s Dear Committee Trade Paperback / September 15, 2021 Members and David Lodge’s campus comedies, and where Richard Stark’s ISBN 10: 1-77439-030-3 Parker trades barbs with Kingsley Amis’s Lucky Jim.

6 newestpress.com NEW TITLE INFORMATION rump + flank by Carol Harvey Steski

A debut collection that delves into the ‘body’ from a feminist perspective.

Carol Harvey Steski’s tenacious and unapologetic debut, rump + flank, explores the body in nature’s many incarnations: human, animal, plant, microbe, even chemical. The result is a fantastical poetic work that sheds light on what bodies—especially female ones—endure, probing the full range of experiences from pleasure and hope to deep loss and trauma. These poems are piercingly humorous, sexy, and peppered with startling absurdities, but are grounded by an undercurrent of nostalgia (and a soupçon of feminist rage): mercury reproduces like funhouse mirrors, oysters are whole notes dropped into eternal song, cancer is a surly character taking and discarding lovers, a domestic chore turns dark as a mother channels her inner Lady Macbeth. Lush imagery melds with organic rhythms to spawn a visceral experience, a tendon-and-muscle-driven engine that readers can feel racing within their own bodies.
