Librairie Drawn & Quarterly Books of the Week - November 6, 2019
In the weekly Librairie Drawn & Quarterly Books of the Week, the Montreal bookstore recommends several new works of fiction, art books, periodicals, and comics.
Librairie Drawn & Quarterly is one of Montreal's premiere independent bookstores.
Making Comics by Lynda Barry
Having recently won a MacArthur “Genius Grant”, Lynda Barry returns with the delightful Making Comics. Barry is masterful at describing the interplay between image and words that make up comics. The book will inspire those new to graphic self-expression and rekindle a love of drawing in those who thought they’d hung up their pencils for good. Barry will be in Montreal on November 20th to launch this book in conversation with Chris Ware! Grab Tickets while they last!
Feed by Tommy Pico
The arrival of the new Tommy Pico was greeted with shrieks of delight. This formidable fourth book is a powerful, urgent meditation on what it is to be a messy human, with all the accompanying fears and pleasures.
In The Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado
We’ve been counting down the days until the release date of In The Dream House. Carmen Maria Machado's latest is sure to crack your heart wide open. It is a profound and necessary memoir. We’re elated to be hosting Carmen Maria Machado for the launch for this book on December 9th! Tickets are on sale now.
Vernon Subutex 1 by Virginie Despentes
Virginie Despentes has ripped through the last decades with her abrasive work as a writer and filmmaker. She wrote her first book, Baise-Moi, at 23, while working as a sex worker. The Vernon Subutex trilogy is about a social and financial drop, the decline of a character into a world of drugs and music, porn stars, disillusionment. A satirical vivid journey rooted in the 90s, the result is funny and tragic, a wild ride.
The Cursed Hermit by Kris Bertin and Alexander Forbes
The second volume of the Hobtown Mystery Stories is out now! Kris Bertin and Alexander Forbes do not disappoint in the follow up to The Case of the Missing Men. This series has been described as ‘Nancy Drew meets David Lynch’ You’re bound to fall for this beautifully drawn, fast paced graphic novel. Don’t miss the launch for this book on Friday, November 15th!
