By the author of Blue Is the Warmest Color: a stunning graphic novel on the downfall of a rock legend.
R EL S EA
SKANDALON
E
Julie Maroh burst onto the scene in 2013 with Blue Is the Warmest Color, a tender, bittersweet graphic novel about lesbian love, in which a young woman named Clementine becomes infatuated with Emma, a girl with blue hair. The book spawned a controversial and acclaimed feature film that won the Palme d’Or at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival as well as accolades for its stars Adèle Exarchopoulos and Lea Seydoux; the book itself is a New York Times bestseller (with almost 40,000 copies in print) and received starred reviews from Publishers Weekly and Library Journal. Julie’s follow-up graphic novel, Skandalon, marks a startling change of pace: a fiery, intense story about the recklessness of fame. “Skandalon,” found in the Gospels, refers to a persistent trap or obstacle, such as the one that confounds the mesmerizing, Jim Morrison-like lead character Tazane. He is a true rock icon: passionate, arrogant, selfish, and sometimes violent, the charismatic singer is a beacon for controversy and scandal. But the public that worships him and the media that lavishes attention on him are waiting for him to fall from grace. At times shocking, Skandalon is a powerful and relentless meditation on the high cost of fame, and the demons awaiting anyone who refuses to be wary of them.
Julie Maroh Julie Maroh is an author and illustrator originally from northern France. She studied comic art at the Institute Saint-Luc in Brussels and lithography and engraving at the Royal Academy of Arts in Brussels. Her book Blue Is the Warmest Color (page 16) has been translated into eleven languages to date. juliemaroh.com David Homel is a Governor General Literary Award-winning translator and writer. His translations include Kuessipan by Naomi Fontaine (page 22), The World Is Moving around Me by Dany Laferrière (page 18), and Adrian and the Tree of Secrets by Hubert (page 6), and his own novels include, most recently, The Fledglings. He lives in Montreal.

Randy Shore’s father and grandfather grew up on farms, yet he didn’t even know how to grow a radish. Author of “The Green Man” column in the Vancouver Sun, he spent five years teaching himself how to grow food for his family, and then how to use the resulting bounty to create imaginative and nourishing meals the year round. In Grow What You Eat, Randy reveals the secrets to creating and maintaining a thriving vegetable garden, from how to make your own fertilizer to precise instructions on how best to grow specific produce; he also offers advice for those with balcony or container gardens and others who live in small urban spaces. He then shows how to showcase your bounty with delicious, nutrient-packed recipes (both vegetarian and not), including instructions on canning, pickling, and curing, proving how easy and fulfilling it is to be a self-reliant expert in your garden and your kitchen.

LIVE AT THE COMMODORE
The Story of Vancouver’s Historic Commodore Ballroom
Located in the heart of downtown Vancouver, the Commodore Ballroom is one of the best-loved music venues in Canada, if not the world; it’s played host to a who’s-who of music greats: The Police, The Clash, Blondie, Talking Heads, Nirvana, New York Dolls, U2, and, in more recent years, Lady Gaga, Tom Waits, and the White Stripes. But the Commodore’s history extends back to 1930, when it was built in the splendor of art-deco style. Then, it became a magnet for the city’s decadent society set. Through World War II and into the 1950s, the Commodore was where Vancouverites enjoyed a night out to hear swing orchestras and dance into the night.

Beginning in the 1970s, the Commodore became a full-on music club, a must-stop for breakout bands and other music acts before they became arena headliners. Vancouverites soon filled the place on a nightly basis, not only to hear the latest in punk, new wave, blues, heavy metal, and rock, but also to dance on its legendary bouncy sprung floor. It is now regarded as a music landmark, “the nightclub for all seasons” that continues to attract the hottest acts on tour, defying and outlasting other cultural venues that have gone the way of gentrification. In Live at the Commodore, Aaron Chapman delves into the Commodore’s archives to reveal stories about the constellation of characters surrounding the club for the last 80+ years, as well as startling, funny, and outrageous anecdotes about the legendary acts that have graced its stage. Filled with neverbefore-published photographs, posters, and paraphernalia, Live at the Commodore is a visceral, energetic portrait of one of the world’s great rock venues.

STRANGE MATERIAL

Storytelling through Textiles
Strange Material explores the relationship between handmade textiles and storytelling. Through text, the act of weaving a tale or dropping a thread takes on new meaning for those who previously have seen textiles—quilts, blankets, articles of clothing, and more—only as functional objects. This book showcases crafters who take storytelling off the page and into the mediums of batik, stitching, dyeing, fabric painting, knitting, crochet, and weaving, creating objects that bear their messages proudly, from personal memoir and cultural fables to pictorial histories and wearable fictions. Full-colour throughout, the book includes chapters on various aspects of textile storytelling, from “Textiles of Protest, Politics, and Power” to “The Fabric of Remembrance”; it spotlights well-known projects, such as the profoundly moving Names Project AIDS Memorial Quilt, as well as poetry mittens, button blankets, and stitched travel diaries. Offbeat, poetic, and subversive, Strange Material will inspire readers to re-imagine the possibilities of creating through needle and fabric.

He’s dogged by a strict mother, bullied by fellow players on the soccer field, and chastised by the school principal, who considers rumours about Adrian being gay as a sign that he is “ill.” But Jeremy, the coolest kid at school, thinks otherwise; he takes Adrian on scooter trips, where they end up in Jeremy’s secret treehouse stealing kisses. Adrian finds himself falling in love, until Jeremy’s girlfriend rats them out, sending Jeremy into a tailspin of embarrassment. What will become of Adrian?

SHE OF THE MOUNTAINS

In the beginning, there is no he. There is no she. Two cells make up one cell. This is the mathematics behind creation. One plus one makes one. Life begets life. We are the period to a sentence, the effect to a cause, always belonging to someone. We are never our own. This is why we are so lonely.
She of the Mountains is a beautifully rendered illustrated novel by Vivek Shraya, the author of the Lambda Literary Award finalist God Loves Hair. Shraya weaves a passionate, contemporary love story between a man and his body, with a re-imagining of Hindu mythology. Both narratives explore the complexities of embodiment and the damaging effects that policing gender and sexuality can have on the human heart.

BETWEEN
Vero and her husband Shane have moved out of the sweet suite above his parents’ garage and found themselves smack in the middle of adulthood—two kids, two cars, two jobs. They are not coping well. In response to their looming domestic breakdown, Vero and Shane get live-in help with their sons—a woman from the Philippines named Ligaya (which means happiness), whom the boys call LiLi. Vero justifies LiLi’s role in their home by insisting that she is part of their family, and she goes to great lengths in order to ease her conscience. But differences persist; Vero grapples with her overextended role as a mother and struggles to keep her marriage passionate, while LiLi silently bears the burden of a secret she left behind at home. Between offers readers an intriguing, searing portrait of two women from two different cultures. At the same time, it satirizes contemporary love, marriage, and parenthood by exposing the sense of entitlement and superiority at the heart of uppermiddle-class North American existence through a ubiquitous presence in it: the foreign nanny. Angie Abdou comically and tragically tackles the issue of international nannies by providing a window on motherhood where it is tangled up with class, career, labour, and desire.
Angie Abdou Angie Abdou has a Ph.D. in English Literature from the University of Calgary and teaches full-time at the College of the Rockies in Cranbrook, British Columbia. Her first novel, The Bone Cage (NeWest Press), was a finalist in CBC’s 2011 Canada Reads. She is also author of The Canterbury Trail (Brindle & Glass) and Anything Boys Can Do (Thistledown).

An epic first story collection by poet Wayde Compton.
R EL S EA
THE OUTER HARBOUR
E
In his debut story collection, poet Wayde Compton explores the concept of place and identity in which characters and space merge to make narrative. These interconnected stories, imbued with the colour of speculative fiction, are towering in their conceits. As much as characters are revealed by what they do and say, in The Outer Harbour, places also speak, in the way that they shape us. One strand of stories follows the relationship between an artist obsessed with shipping containers and a drug-addicted student, each of mixed-race, who seek in art a response to unclear identities. Another set of stories follows the geological development of a volcanic island in Burrard Inlet—Vancouver’s harbour—which becomes the site of a radical Indigenous occupation, and later, in increasingly absurd shadings, a real estate development, and then a detention centre for illegal migrants. And a final suite tells the story of Donald and Albert, biracial conjoined twins, and their father, an eccentric figure whose enigmatic expression divides them. Moving from 2001 through to 2025, The Outer Harbour is at once a history book and a cautionary tale of the future. Collectively, these stories condense and confound our preconceived ideas around race, migration, and home, creating a singular world in a city built on the legacies of racism and colonialism, hurtling towards a future both impossible and inevitable.
Wayde Compton Wayde Compton is the author of two books of poetry, 49th Parallel Psalm (Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize finalist) and Performance Bond. He also edited the anthology Bluesprint: Black British Columbian Literature and Orature. His non-fiction book After Canaan: Essays on Race, Writing, and Region was shortlisted for the City of Vancouver Book Award.

NOTHING LOOKS FAMILIAR
In Nothing Looks Familiar, Shawn Syms’ debut story collection, characters from a wide swath of society chart paths from places of danger or unhappiness into the great unknown, each grappling with a central and sometimes unanswerable question: if you fight to change your circumstances, could it be possible to reconfigure your very identity? From bullied kids to methsmoking mothers, characters in dire straits take measures— sometimes drastic ones—to take charge of their own fates. With a particular focus on the lives of the downtrodden and marginalized, Nothing Looks Familiar marries a vivid and distinct sense of place—the sights and smells of a meatpacking plant; a church-basement meeting hall full of sexual abusers— with universal themes such as the nature of friendship and relationships, and the configuration of the self. In this book, men and women alike struggle to cope, to survive, and to transform their surroundings; each of them is determined to come out the other side changed. In these richly drawn, deeply nuanced stories, nothing may look familiar, but everything is up for grabs.
Shawn Syms Shawn Syms is an author and journalist who has written for over fifty publications in the past twenty-five years, including The Rumpus, Foreword Reviews, The Collagist, and the acclaimed anthologies First Person Queer and Love, Christopher Street: Reflections of New York.

WHEN EVERYTHING FEELS LIKE THE MOVIES
E
School is like a film set. There’s The Crew who make things happen, The Extras who fill empty spaces in rows of desks, and The Movie Stars, who everyone wants tagged in their Facebook photos. But flamboyant high school student Jude Rothesay, who lives for Louboutins and celebrity magazines, doesn’t fit into any category.; he isn’t a part of The Crew because he isn’t about to do anything unless it’s court appointed; he’s not an Extra because nothing about him is anonymous; and he’s not a Movie Star because, even though everyone knows his name, he’s not invited to the cool parties. Jude is the self-professed flamer who lights the set on fire, but before everything turns to ashes from the resulting inferno, he is determined to get Luke Morris to be his date to the Valentine’s Day dance. Inspired by a true story, When Everything Feels like the Movies is an edgy, extravagant novel for young people and others, full of gender-bending teen glamour, dark mischief, and enough melodrama to incite the paparazzi. A boy who smells like Chanel Mademoiselle, calls Blair Waldorf his biggest childhood influence, and reads Old Hollywood star biographies like gospel doesn’t have the easiest path to travel in life, but somehow, Jude paves his road with yellow bricks and makes us all wish we could join him over the rainbow.

QUEER FILM CLASSICS is a critically acclaimed book series that launched in 2009, edited by Thomas Waugh and Matthew Hays, covering some of the most important and influential films about and/or by LBTQ people made between 1950 and 2005, and written by leading LGBTQ film scholars and critics.
L.A. PLAYS ITSELF / BOYS IN THE SAND
I’VE HEARD THE MERMAIDS SINGING
A Queer Film Classic on two groundbreaking gay films from the early 1970s, both of which exemplify the growing liberalization of social attitudes toward sex and homosexuality in post-Stonewall America. L.A. Plays Itself and Boys in the Sand were both gay arthouse porn films released within months of each other at a theatre in New York in 1972. L.A. Plays Itself, directed by Fred Halsted, is a dark treatise on violence and urban squalor featuring hustlers and vagrants that reveals the City of Angels’ dark side; Wakefield Poole’s Boys in the Sand, meanwhile, is its sunny flipside, about a young man’s sexual adventures at a gay beach resort community. Both films represent particular, polarizing moments in the early history of the gay movement.
A Queer Film Classic on I’ve Heard the Mermaids Singing, a quirky, ethereal feminist 1987 film by Canadian director Patricia Rozema about Polly, a socially awkward secretary who takes photographs as a hobby. When her former lover, Mary, an artist, comes back into her life, Polly alternates between the growing realization that she is too old for Mary and an idyllic dream state in which plain-looking people like her lead passionate lives. The film has appeared on the Toronto International Film Festival’s Best 10 Canadian Films of All Time. Julia Mendenhall, a longtime fan of the film, places the film in the context of the history of feminist cinema, the unfortunately sparse category of films directed, written, and starring women.
Cindy Patton discusses the historical context of these films and their legal and social ramifications, as well as other films that were produced during this crucial period in cinematic history.

MACHO SLUTS
PATIENCE & SARAH
When it was first published in 1988, Pat Califia’s Macho Sluts, a collection of S/M stories set in San Francisco’s dyke bathhouses, sex parties, and S/M gay bars, shocked the lesbian community and caused an upheaval in the field of queer publishing. This new edition includes an afterword by the author and supplemental material. Califia’s stories are intriguing, erotic, exhilarating, and unnerving. The sheer power of Macho Sluts is undeniable. —Bay Area Reporter
A Little Sister’s Classic Isabel Miller, introduction by Emma Donoghue Set in the 19th century, Isabel Miller’s classic lesbian novel traces the relationship between Patience White and Sarah Dowling, whose romantic bond does not sit well with the puritanical New England farming community in which they live. Winner of the American Library Association’s first Gay Book Award.

Told with the poignant insight and honesty that only the voice of a young mind can convey, God Loves Hair is moving and ultimately joyous portrait of youth that celebrates diversity in all shapes, sizes, and colours.

Look Who’s Morphing by Asian-Australian writer Tom Cho is a funny, fantastical, often outlandish collection of stories firmly grounded in pop culture. The book’s central character undergoes a series of startling transformations, shape-shifting through figures drawn from film, television, music, books, porn flicks, and comics. Look Who’s Morphing is a stylish, highly entertaining literary debut in which nothing, including one’s self, can be taken for granted.

BULL HEAD
Jonathan Kemp
John Vigna
Rent boys, aristocrats, artists, and criminals populate this sweeping novel in which author Jonathan Kemp skillfully interweaves the lives and loves of three very different men in gay London in the 1890s, 1950s, and 1980s. Moodily atmospheric and rich with history, London Triptych is a sexy, resplendent portrait of the politics and pleasures of queer life in one of the world’s most fascinating cities.
Arresting and provocative, Bull Head tempers raw and at times cruel rural masculinity with graceful prose and breathtaking tenderness to illuminate the plight of rural men in crisis.

Sarah Schulman
Sarah Schulman
second printing
First published in 1995, this award-winning novel, written from the epicentre of the AIDS crisis, is a bold, achingly honest story set in the “rat bohemia” of New York City, whose huddled masses include gay men and lesbians who bond with one another in the wake of loss. One of the top 100 gay & lesbian novels of all time. —Publishing Triangle
In this new edition of Schulman’s acclaimed 1988 novel, a no-nonsense coffee-shop waitress in New York is nursing a broken heart after her girlfriend Dolores leaves her for another woman. This hilarious, unpredictable, sexy novel is a fast-paced flashback to the storefronts, underground clubs, and back alleys of the Lower East Side’s lesbian subculture in the 1980s. Includes a new introduction by the author.
My surrender to Rat Bohemia is a testimonial to its gimlet-eyed accuracy, its zerodegree honesty … [It blows] the traditional novel off its hinges. —Edmund White, New York Times Book Review

Queer bard Billeh Nickerson is one of Canada’s showiest poets; his previous three collections reveal a poetic sensibility that is colourful, witty, and wise, with deep undertones of sexy. Alternating between outlandish and poignant, Artificial Cherry heralds the return of Billeh’s cheeky/sweet sensibilities. From Elvis Presley and glass eyes to phantom lovers and hockey haiku, you’re never quite sure where Billeh will take you, but the outcomes are always worth the ride.
This intense, extravagant magic-realist novel combines elements of fairy tales, horror movies, and romances to create a comic, hallucinatory celebration of excess and sensuality.

In this stunning debut novel, Amber Dawn subverts and transgresses the classic hero’s quest adventure to create a dark postfeminist vision about a teenaged runaway initiated into a family of magical prostitutes. See also How Poetry Saved My Life (page 20). lambda literary award winner A uniquely rewarding read … Amber Dawn is after a larger vision that raises questions about the entire emotionally fraught edifice of our received beliefs about sex, men and women, roles and rights and abuses. —Globe and Mail
This anthology refracts the experience of thirty-two writers, emerging and established, who have been a part of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside community in some way. Their prose, poetry, and essays reappropriate the coding of the area and recase the DTES as a site of creative energy and human dignity.
