Tainna: The Unseen Ones, by Norma Dunning, published by Douglas & McIntyre
Available from NNELS in EPUB3. Drawing on both lived experience and cultural memory, Norma Dunning brings together six powerful new short stories centred on modern-day Inuk characters in Tainna. Ranging from homeless to extravagantly wealthy, from spiritual to jaded, young to elderly, and even from alive to deceased, Dunning's characters are united by shared feelings of alienation, displacement and loneliness resulting from their experiences in southern Canada. In Tainna—meaning "the unseen o...
Faire les sucres, by Fanny Britt, published by Le Cheval dʼaoût
Disponible auprès de NNELS en EPUB3 L’argent ne fait pas le bonheur, paraît-il, mais ne donne-t-il pas l’occasion de s’arrêter, de «penser à soi» ? Comment ne pas voir l’absurdité de cette affirmation, «penser à soi», comme si ce n’était pas ce que nous faisons déjà la majorité du temps? Dans ce roman choral sur la dislocation progressive d’un couple, Fanny Britt creuse sans merci la question de nos privilèges. On y rencontre Adam et Marion, dont la vie auréolée de succès sera mêlée à celle d...
The Junta of Happenstance, by Tolu Oloruntoba, published by Anstruther Books / Palimpsest Press
Available from NNELS in EPUB 3. Personal, primordial, and pulsing with syncopated language, Tolu Oloruntoba’s poetic debut, The Junta of Happenstance, is a compendium of dis-ease. This includes disease in the traditional sense, as informed by the poet’s time as a physician, and dis-ease as a primer for family dysfunction, the (im)migrant experience, and urban / corporate anxiety. In the face of struggles against social injustice, Oloruntoba navigates the contemporary moment with empathy and i...
Pendant que Perceval tombait, by Tania Langlais, published by Les Herbes rouges
Disponible auprès de NNELS en EPUB3 Mourir ne dure qu’un instant. Mais la douleur, lancinante, comme les vagues, recule pour mieux frapper de nouveau, recule et frappe encore. «Tout cela se passe en une journée.» Une chute à cheval, le fleuve qui recrache un cadavre, «un fantôme à discipliner», une longue promenade à travers les champs, la promesse du repos. Dans ces poèmes obstinés, Tania Langlais distribue les vers comme les cartes d’un tarot. Une histoire se dessine au gré de leurs...
alfabet/alphabet: a memoir of a first language, by Sadiqa de Meijer, published by Anstruther Books / Palimpsest Press
Available from NNELS in EPUB3. alfabet / alphabet is the record of Sadiqa de Meijer's transition from speaking Dutch to English. Exploring questions of identity, landscape, family, and translation, the essays navigate the shifting cultural currents of language by using an eclectic approach to storytelling. As such, fellow linguistic migrants to anglophone Canada will recognize elements of their experience in alfabet / alphabet, while lifelong English speakers will perceive their mother tongue...

Firefly, by Philippa Dowding, published by DCB / Cormorant Books
Available from NNELS in EPUB 3. Firefly lived in the park across from her mother’s home. It was safer there. But after the bad night happens, and her baseball-bat-wielding mother is taken away, social services sends Firefly to live with her Aunt Gayle. She hardly knows Gayle, but discovers that she owns a costume shop. Yes, Firefly might be suffering from PTSD, but she can get used to taking baths, sleeping on a bed again, and wearing as many costumes as she can to school. But where is “home”...
