BEGGING QUESTIONS Stories - Seán Virgo Seán Virgo, one of Canada’s greatest storytellers, casts his intense gaze at a universe full of malevolence and beauty and dreams.

ONTOLOGICAL NECESSITIES Poems - Priscila Uppal In Ontological Necessities Priscila Uppal investigates the emotional and philosophical struggle fundamental to notions of being in the 21st century. From poems that explore questions of identity (who is anyone, anyway?) to those that attempt to examine human relationships with the onslaught of horrors depicted daily in the news, this collection uses surrealist and absurdist language in subversive and startling ways to grapple with an increasingly absurd world. Written with the verve of the uninhibited artist but with a clarity of thought and expression more akin to the scientist or scholar, these poems are utterly contemporary and fully aware of the past; a necessary tonic for our times. Essays 6.5x8.75; 158 pages: ISBN 1-55096-045-8 (pbk/french flaps) $19.95CDN/$16.95US To Purchase by cheque/check/money order, Click on the book’s Cover image.
HUMAN A Novel - AUDE Signing her texts as Aude, the fiction of Claudette Charbonneau-Tissot borders on psychopathological tragedy. All her characters – and this is especially true of her new work, Human – are intensely alive with the struggle between the body and its inner being, a struggle in which there is hope, but hope in its fragility as the body betrays the spirit. To ward off betrayal, we keep a silence and it is that silence that Human explores. Aude is the most singular writer to emerge in Quebec since Marie-Claire Blais.

LANZMANN And Other Stories - Damian Tarnopolsky Lanzmann and Other Stories marks the first appearance of a startlingly gifted writer. Ranging widely in subject matter – from a musicianšs destructive narcissism to the strange effects a persistent Norwegian has on a bacheloršs love life – the stories in this collection also vary in style, from the elegant and insightful to the highly adventurous. Inventive, deeply comic, and sometimes very unsettling, this is an assured and significant debut.

FAR FROM NOTHING - Zoltán Böszörményi The thirty-five-year-old Rudolf is the manager of a car dealership. His wife Malvin works in a drycleaners. Hoping for a better life, they work day and night. Meanwhile, Rudolf – who is also a student about to graduate in philosophy from the university – keeps up a heart-wrenching relationship with the chic Vanda. There are no limits to their relationship: everything is open. And then there is Nina, who studies logic but is secretly a prostitute, or Mr. Alfred, owner of the car-leasing company, seemingly upright, but secretly an embezzler. All these characters conceal something. But love, money and power turn everyone inside out so radically that Rudolf sometimes believes we only think we exist . . .

TECHNICOLORED - Jason Guriel Technicolored explores the nature of the 20th-century icon, both filmic and poetic. Unspooling like a lost canister of film, this book offers fresh takes on Alfred Hitchcock and Orson Welles, Jean-Luc Godard and Brigitte Bardot, Ava Gardner and Rita Hayworth, Béla Lugosi, alongside William Carlos Williams, Ezra Pound and Frank O’Hara. It is hard to believe this is a first book of poetry, not only because these poems have appeared in virtually every journal in the country, but also because they have a precision of tone and image characteristic of older, more seasoned poets. Readers will enjoy revisiting their favourite screen idols and poetic staples while being introduced to a new voice on the Canadian literary scene that is sure to dazzle us as he too is exposed on the black and white of the page.

These stories – from a genuine master – were honed to perfection over the last 15 years, and engage the questions left hanging by public and private lives in a world whose foundations have shifted beyond prediction: questions of identity and belief; the emigré phantoms of memory; the frail oppositions of beauty to experience. Told in a language of brilliant power, "his tales hold, not only by their enigmatic or dreamlike quality, but often with horror-laced intensity." –Queen’s Quarterly
"A writer at the peak of his form!" –Books in Canada
"Implicit in his fiction is a reverence before both the miracle of consciousness and the miracle of nature." –Times Literary Supplement
