A moving culinary memoir about the relationship between food and family—and sustenance and survival—from a chef, award-winning Canadian journalist, and…
daughter of a Holocaust survivor.When you’re raised by someone who once survived on potato peels and coffee grounds, you develop a pretty healthy respect for food.Bonny Reichert avoided everything to do with the Holocaust until she found herself, in midlife, suddenly typing those words into an article she was writing. The journalist had grown up hearing stories about her father’s near-starvation and ultimate survival in Auschwitz-Birkenau, but she never imagined she would be able to face this epic legacy head on. Then a chance encounter with a perfect bowl of borscht in Warsaw set Bonny on a journey to unearth her culinary lineage, and she began to dig for the roots of her food obsession, dish by dish. Tracing the defining moments of her life, from her colorful childhood in the restaurant business to the crumbling of her first marriage and the intensity of young motherhood, her decision to become a chef and that life-altering visit to Poland, the author recounts a tale of scarcity and plenty, stepping into the kitchen to connect her past to her future. Whether it's the flaky potato knishes and molasses porridge bread she learned to bake at her Baba Sarah’s elbow, the creamy vichyssoise she taught herself to cook in her tiny student apartment, or the brown butter eggs her father, now 93, still scrambles for her whenever she needs comfort, cuisine is both an anchor and an identity; a source of joy and a signifier of survival.How to Share an Egg is a journey of deep flavors and surprising contrasts. By turns sweet, salty, sour, and bitter, this is one woman's search to find her voice as a writer, chef, mother and daughter. Do the tiny dramas of her own life matter in comparison to everything her father has seen and done? This moving exploration of heritage, inheritance, and self-discovery sets out to find the answer.

Entre le Québec et le Nouveau-Brunswick s'étend une rivière majestueuse aux eaux d'une rare transparence, aux imposantes berges boisées, où…
foisonne une population de saumon qui en a fait un lieu prisé des animaux et des hommes depuis des temps immémoriaux : la Ristigouche. Naviguant ses flots depuis l'enfance, l'écrivain et journaliste Philip Lee remonte dans son canot pour nous entraîner sur les anciennes routes de portage jusqu'au cours principal, qu'il descend vers l'estuaire de la baie des Chaleurs. Dans une prose aussi souple que les sinuosités de la rivière, il nous en raconte l'histoire, en explore les innombrables strates - géologiques, environnementales, humaines, industrielles - et nous invite à découvrir cet écosystème parmi les plus riches de notre planète pour mieux le protéger. Ristigouche, c'est faire du canot en compagnie du meilleur guide imaginable. En plus d'être un grand conteur, Philip est un fabuleux chercheur. Vous croiserez bien sûr des gens riches et célèbres - les Irving du Nouveau-Brunswick, Teddy Roosevelt, les Vanderbilt, le marquis de Lorne et son épouse, la princesse Louise, fille de la reine Victoria -, mais vous rencontrerez aussi des gens ordinaires qui vivent le long de la rivière et vous vous en éprendrez : bûcherons, pêcheurs, francophones, anglophones, Mi'gmaq. C'est un cours d'eau qui a connu bien des tumultes, depuis l'ignoble expulsion des Acadiens il y a près de trois siècles jusqu'à ce jour de 1981 où des agents de la Sûreté du Québec et des gardes-pêche québécois ont battu et arrêté des membres de la Première Nation de Listuguj pour avoir pêché le saumon au filet. Le saumon, bien sûr, est au cœur de ce superbe livre, tout comme il est l'attraction principale des eaux cristallines de la Ristigouche. Infatigable défenseur de l'espèce, Philip décrit les ravages de la surpêche, de l'exploitation forestière, de la pollution et du changement climatique. Ce livre est son plaidoyer pour la conservation, la protection et la restauration de ce magnifique cours d'eau. Mais c'est aussi, par bonheur, un livre rempli d'amour pour la rivière et d'espoir pour son avenir. Roy MacGregor, auteur et chroniqueur

Marie est autrice. Son dernier roman a soulevé l'ire de ses modèles féministes et l'a laissée vidée, incapable d'écrire. Après…
plusieurs fausses couches, suivant des conseils obtenus par télémédecine, elle conserve ses fœtus au congélateur afin de les soumettre à des tests, pendant que Perceval, son chum, coécrit des poèmes avec l'algorithme qu'il a créé et que son amie Claire, ancienne comédienne, gravit les échelons de la vente de Tupperware. Par une sinistre nuit de novembre, alors que la pluie fouette les vitres et que retentissent les cris stridents d'une imprimante 3D, Marie accouche d'une idée funeste qui va tout faire basculer. S'inspirant librement de la vie de Mary Shelley et de son Frankenstein, Sarah Berthiaume sonde les abysses de la création et de la procréation dans une comédie gothique, féministe et dystopique qui dissèque nos propres monstruosités

Jordan Abel's extraordinary new book and debut work of fiction, Empty Spaces, grows out of his groundbreaking visual expression in…
NISHGA. That book integrated descriptions of the landscape from James Fenimore Cooper's settler classic The Last of the Mohicans into visual compositions. In Empty Spaces, Abel reinscribes those words on the page itself and in doing so subjects them to bold re-writings. Reimagining the nineteenth-century text from the contemporary perspective of an urban Nisga'a person whose relationship to land and traditional knowledge was severed by colonial progress, Abel explores what it means to be Indigenous without access to familial territory and complicates popular ideals about Indigenous storytelling. Engaging the land through fiction and imagination, the successive chapters of Empty Spaces move toward an eerie, looping, and atmospheric rendering of place that evolves despite the violent and reckless histories of North America. The result is a bold and profound new vision of history that decenters human perception and forgoes Westernized ways of seeing--rather than turning to characters, plot, and conflict to explore truth, Empty Spaces invites us to instead understand that the land knows everything that can and will happen, even as the world lurches toward uncertainty

As this spare and luminous novel begins, we meet Miriam, Helen and Maggie—three friends who, years ago when they were…
school children, survived capture by the Lord's Resistance Army in northern Uganda. Now, as the women go about their new lives in the city, shopping, caring for their children, planning and thinking about what the future might hold, we come to understand how deeply their past haunts the present. In graceful yet unflinching prose, Otoniya Okot Bitek weaves vivid folk tales with taut realism, revealing flashes of life before the war that ravaged Uganda, unspooling the terrible events that led to abductions of children from supposedly safe schools, and tracing perilous journeys home again. Facing endless treks across the ravaged countryside and through narrow mountain passes, gun battles and constant brutality, many girls did not survive. Those who did make it back home, some carrying small children of their own, bore the unspoken weight of their experiences within families and communities that often wished to forget and move on. In We, the Kindling, Okot Bitek insistently refuses to turn away or to spectacularize tragedy, shaping a chorus of women's voices into a hauntingly beautiful novel, suffused with care and humanity.

A cyberpunk fever-dream of climate catastrophe: the full-length fiction debut from one of the boldest new voices in Argentinian literature,…
thrillingly translated by Rahul Bery.After the last Antarctic icecaps melt, calamity follows. Landscapes are radically transformed, diseases mutate and spread with unprecedented speed, and, in response, forms the ghastly "virofinance" exchange—a market for corporations to profit from pandemics and global suffering.It’s in this grim near-future of 2272, where words such as "winter" and "cold" have no meaning, the Dengue Child grows.The monstrous humanoid mosquito emerges in newly tropical Argentina, carrying its namesake virus and despairing of its own existence. Bullies brutalize the child until a violent eruption of revelation and transformation takes place, shockwaves of which will extend far beyond the schoolyard into a society full of terrors and wonders enabled and exposed by climate collapse.Powerful telepathic stones from the bowels of the earth, sought after by smugglers, seem to hold a volatile, primordial wisdom. The meager remaining glaciers are harvested for skating rinks on luxury cruises. And the youth obsess over an immersive, addictive video game that presents a virtual world far more attractive than reality.In the tradition of Kafka, Cronenberg, and Philip K. Dick, Michel Nieva's brilliant, hilarious, and demented Dengue Boy draws on manga, body horror, and gaucho-punk science fiction to tell a delirious, frenetic, singular story about the ravages of capitalism and what hope might exist, if any, for revenge and rebirth.

The modern master of Nordic noir is back with an explosive novel about two brothers who, on the verge of…
losing everything, are willing to do anything to stop that from happening.By all accounts, Carol and Roy Opgard are doing quite well for themselves. Or at least they are doing as well as can be expected in a small town like Os. Carl manages the area's swanky and successful spa, while Roy runs the local gas station and dreams of building it into an entire amusement park complete with a roller coaster. But then news breaks about a new highway that will bypass Os and leave the town cut off and isolated. Something has to be done about that, even if the methods need to be dirty. Fortunately, Roy and Carl have experience with dirty work.Meanwhile, the town sheriff has gotten his hands on new technology that will enable him to take a deeper look at a spate of unsolved murders from years past—including that of his own father. Just as the sheriff reopens his investigation, the death toll begins to climb. Like Roy says about his roller coaster: "Once it is rolling, it's too late to get off."Blood Ties is a tense, compulsively readable tour de force about loyalty, family ties and love that is as destructive as it is powerful.

From a queer Muslim woman and artist, a generous, insightful memoir that traces her journey toward radical self-acceptance and of…
exile from her ancestral home.As the youngest of three daughters, and the only one born in Canada soon after her parents' emigration from Iran, Roza Nozari began her life hungry for a sense of belonging. From her early years, she shared a passion for Iranian cuisine with her mother and craved stories of their ancestral home. Eventually they visited and she fell in love with its sights and smells, and with the warm embrace of their extended family. Yet Roza sensed something was amiss with her mother's happy, well-rehearsed story of their original departure. As Roza grew older, this longing for home transformed into a desire for inner understanding and liberation. She was lit up by the feminist texts in her women’s studies courses, and shared radical ideas with her mother—who in turn shared more of her past, from protesting for the Islamic revolution to her ambivalence about getting married. In this memoir, Roza braids the narrative of her mother’s life together with her own on-going story of self, as she arrives at, then rejects, her queer identity, eventually finds belonging in queer spaces and within queer Iranian histories, and learns the truth about her family’s move to Canada. All the Parts We Exile is a memoir of dualities: mother and daughter, home and away, shame and self-acceptance, conflict and peace, love and pain—and the stories that exist within and between them. In sharp, emotionally honest and funny prose, Roza tenderly explores the grief around the parts we exile and the joy of those we hold close in order to be true to our deepest selves.
