Tragedy and comedy come together in
this bittersweet tale of a childhood in
Provence, in southern France,
while living under Nazi occupation.
Young Dominique was just seven when
his father was arrested in May 1943.
“The night the Gestapo arrested him,
he was carrying a basil plant and a
modest piece of parmesan. The ingredients with which, he would later take
pleasure in telling, he had enjoyed, in
the Nazi camps, invigorating pistou
soups that surpassed, or so he claimed,
the ones made by my Aunt Virginie.”
After his father’s arrest, Dominique
fled Marseille, now occupied by the
Germans. His mother took him and his
cousin Gérard to the countryside, to
Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, and safety. In
this isolated part of Provence, the sound
of soldiers’ boots was but a vague echo,
and they almost had enough to eat.
Sometimes the usual rutabagas yielded
to a tasty dish of potatoes – not to mention the eggs, bread and goat’s milk the village provided them.
Dachau, April 1945. Dominique’s father was freed by the American army.
“Natzwiller-Struthof, Neue Bremm, Buchenwald, Vaihingen and the last stop, Dachau. Dad had travelled
more than most in his early thirties. When he returned, something no one expected, those pistou soups
hadn’t fattened him up. He weighed thirty-six kilos and a whisker!”
In June of 1945, Dominique returned to Marseille to be reunited with his father who had miraculously
survived the Nazi camps. But, it isn’t that easy to start life all over again…
“A beautiful novel. Claude Tatilon enters the aristocracy of sensibility and expression through the front door: the door
of authenticity.” —Liaison, Ottawa

These fourteen stories approach the
world’s complexities through a child’s
eyes, grapple with the sorrows and
ecstasies of child-bearing years, and
probe the truths that touch us with a
child-like clarity at the end of life’s
journey.
A girl discovers a fear of heights as her
parents’ marriage unravels; a thirtysomething venture fund manager frets
over his daughter’s paternity; an orphan
whose hands kill whatever they touch
is accused of homophobia; a mother of
two can only bear to consider abortion
in the second person; the wife of a
retirement-aged professor finds him
unconscious near his computer... The
Meaning of Children speaks to all of us
who – although aware the world can be
a very dark place – can’t help but long
for redemption through children.
Beverly Akerman’s recognitions include the David Adams Richards Prize; nominations for a Pushcart Prize and
Best of the Web Award; an Editor’s Choice Award, Best New Writing/Hoffer Prize; a Fishtrap Fellowship; first
prize, The Vocabula Review Well-Written Writing Contest, Gemini Magazine’s Flash Fiction Contest, and Fog
City Writers Short Story Contest; second place, Sheldon Currie Prize; honourable mention, The Potomac Review
Fiction Prize, and The Binnacle’s Ultra-Short Competition; finalist, Freefall Magazine’s Prose Contest, TWUC’s
Short Prose Competition (twice), and for the Glass Woman Prize (twice).
“Fluid and masterful [with] wonderful little insights throughout… a keen, incisive vision into the hidden world of
children as well as intimate knowledge of the secret spaces that exist between the everyday events of life. There is
knowledge here, knowledge of those important, life-defining moments. Overall, a work with a brilliant sense of
story.” —JOANNE SOPER-COOK, judge, Writers’ Federation of New Brunswick’s 2010 David Richards Adams Prize
“Oh, it’s lovely. I like it when my body responds to writing; right now there’s an ache in my throat.” —EarLit Shorts

So long as you didn’t try to burn it down, or
annoy your fellows with a knife or something, they left you alone at the Beacon. It
was cheap, the bar made deliveries, and the
shower worked. Ceiling fans like huge propellers sliced the light, and the Cuban guy at
the desk when night came would close his
mind like a bag over his face – you could
watch it happen – and turn to stone.
Many of the characters in Easy Living
are, by chance or choice, loners; some
exist on the edge of estrangement, such
as the narrators of “Bloodgroove” and
“Scherzo,” and a few – like Jules Gibson
in “Saskatchewan” – have toppled over.
“Grebec” is set in the rural world of an
elderly man confined to house arrest for
shooting a teen-aged vandal. In “Sandcastles,” three young boys encounter a
lone woman burying L.P.s on a beach,
and some strange games ensue. While
the situations these people find themselves in skew to the dark side, the writing itself is tactile and surprising, and also very funny. This tension –
hardscrabble subjects, lively styles – is a defining characteristic of the collection.
“The title story, when published in the 2009 Journey Prize Anthology, was described by the Globe and Mail as offering
“raw, powerful prose.”
“If you love language and the truths that only a wild imagination can get at, you’ll love Easy Living.”
—DAVID DOUCETTE, author of Strong in the Broken Places and North of Smokey
“Easy Living contains some of the most haunting short fiction that Canada has ever produced.”
—MARK D. DUNN, author of Ghost Music

In this follow-up to his acclaimed debut
story collection, Mommy Daddy Baby,
Greg Kearney continues his investigation into the lives of average people
forced to modify their world views in
the face of devastating – or at the very
least, mortifying – new circumstances.
A middle-aged, HIV+ gay man,
deformed by the side effects of protease
inhibitors, wades cautiously back into
the singles scene, a scene now rife with
flip, canny young men who think nothing of ripping an ugly stranger to shreds
by way of small talk.
A fundamentalist Christian housewife thrills to her new-found carnality
with a seasoned, secret lover, only to be
saddled with the sudden, enervating task
of home-schooling her four specialneeds children.
A washed-up but content pop star is
pursued by a pair of shrill documentary
filmmakers, heedless of her happiness
and hell-bent on refashioning the woman’s life into arty tragedy, even if it kills them. All of them.
Mordant, brash, hysterically funny yet always compassionate, these new stories give voice to characters
moved to speak in spite of themselves. Good breeding falls away and all things dank and scatological are
pondered, embraced or discarded.
“Greg Kearney is the John Waters (pre-Hairspray, that is) of Can Lit. Funnier than Sedaris, as particular as Amy Hempel,
elegant as Anita Brookner, he would already be a superstar if he lived in the states or UK. As it is, Kearney is simply an
astonishing Canadian writer. Embrace his twisted brilliance!” —ZOE WHITTALL, author Bottle Rocket Hearts
“[Kearney’s] prose will seduce anybody with an ounce of curiosity…this is great dark humour.” – Quill and Quire

After Exile: A Raymond Knister Poetry Reader is the finest
collection of Knister’s verse available. It represents a major
step forward, collecting dozens of poems for the first time in
book form, and printing 30 more poems, on top of numerous letters and prose pieces, for the first time ever.
The title After Exile is plucked from Knister’s long poem
written after he returned from Chicago and decided to
become the unthinkable: a modernist Canadian writer.
Knister, writing in the 20s and 30s, could barely get his
poems published in Canada, but magazines like This
Quarter (Paris), Poetry (Chicago), Voices (Boston), and The
Dial (New York City), eagerly printed what he sent, and
always asked for more, and the more of what he had – all of
it – is in this book. Exile brings together all the known
poems of Raymond Knister and offers a peek into the world
in which they were created.

The poetry of William Wrightson Eustace Ross spans over
forty years. He married the well-known journalist, Mary
Lowrey Ross, and died in Toronto in 1966. Ross’s work was
published in The Dial – he was one of the few poets whose
poems the editor, Marianne Moore, did not attempt to rewrite
– but during his lifetime he published only three privately
printed books.
He left behind not only a great mass of unpublished manuscripts, but a reputation as the first modern Canadian poet, a
reputation confirmed by the publication of Shapes and
Sounds: The Poetry of W.W.E. Ross in 1966. That book, fine as
it was, focused on Ross the imagist only, but he was also the
first surrealist (or irrealist, as he liked to speak of it) – years
ahead of the automatistes in Quebec – a translator, and a sonneteer of formal excellence. Through him, modernist poetry
in Canada must now be looked at with an entirely fresh eye.

With the story set in Montreal, young Peggy Sanderson has
become socially unacceptable because of her association with
black musicians in nightclubs. The black men think she must
be involved sexually, the black women fear or loathe her, yet
her direct, almost spiritual manner is at variance with her reputation. A socially acceptable Jim McAlpine falls under the
sway of her personality; he becomes fascinated by her quest,
he falls in love, and as a consequence lives are ruined and
careers broken, yet overall the feel of charity that is a hallmark
of
Callaghan’s tone overrides this terrible tragic story.

“With this Governor General’s Award-winning novel, Callaghan staked
his claim in the field of Canadian fiction.” —Novelguide.com
“Morley Callaghan broke new ground when he published this novel
dealing with race relations in a major city with thrilling and unforgettable prose... makes The Loved and the Lost Callaghan’s best work.”

A novel of great tact and sly humour that deals with ennui in
Quebec and the intellectual alienation of a disenchanted hero,
Hervé Jodoin, who has come to Saint Joachim to work in the
town’s only bookstore. The proprietor, M. Léon Chicoine, is
seemingly respectable and claims to be the secret agent of free
thought and liberty by keeping a collection of books that are
not for every eye. However, when Jodoin sells a book by a
well-known subversive author, this causes a crisis in the town
that involves not just M. Chicoine, but also the town priest
and our hero’s lonely landlady. This story, chosen by the
Grand Jury des Lettres of Montreal as one of the ten best
novels of post-war contemporary Quebec, is both touchingly
comical and extremely provocative.
Originally translated by Glen Shortliffe, this classic of Canadian
literature has now been revised by Steven Urquhart fifty years
after the initial publication of the novel.

STRANGE FUGITIVE (No. 19) ~ MORLEY CALLAGHAN Fiction/Novel 242 pages ISBN: 978-1-55096-155-3 (tpb) $21.95
Callaghan’s first novel – originally published in New York in 1928 – announced the coming of the urban novel in Canada, and we can now see it as a
prototype for the “gangster” novel in America. The story is set in Toronto in the era of the speakeasy and underworld vendettas. (due Autumn 2011)
IT’S NEVER OVER (No. 20) ~ MORLEY CALLAGHAN Fiction/Novel 190 pages ISBN: 978-1-55096-157-7 (tpb) $19.95
1930 was an electrifying time for writing. Callaghan’s second novel, completed while he was living in Paris – imbibing and boxing with Joyce and
Hemingway (see his memoir, Classics No. 1, That Summer in Paris) – has violence at its core; but first and foremost it is a story of love, a love haunted by a hanging. Dostoyevskian in its depiction of the morbid progress of possession moving like a virus, the novel is sustained insight of a very high
order. Magazines like This Quarter (Paris), Poetry (Chicago), Voices (Boston), and The Dial (New York City), eagerly printed what he sent, and always
asked for more – and all of it is in this book. (due Autumn 2011)

The Word of the Lord is alive and consoling, alive and riotous,
righteous and retributive, playful and provocative throughout
the land. Sometimes it is the priest who is the confessional ear
to the Lord, sometimes the Lord is hollering in the ear of the

sometimes He stands in the agony of His nakedness. However
He appears, He appears again and again in the lives of priests,
pastors, nuns and Pentecostals in these great stories of a kind
