High-energy raw vegan recipes from Vancouver’s famed Gorilla Foods café.

GORILLA FOOD new release

Living and Eating Organic, Vegan, and Raw

Raw food diets have exploded in popularity in recent years; some believe that the cooking process destroys nutrients and even produces dangerous chemicals through the interaction of heat with fat, protein, and carbohydrates.

Enter Aaron Ash, a charismatic chef whose organic raw vegan restaurant Gorilla Food has taken Vancouver by storm for its inventive and delicious dishes, all prepared without the use of animal products or a stove. Aaron is a conscientious raw vegan whose beliefs about food are tied to personal and social well-being. Gorilla Food strives to promote the idea that a sustainable, healthy culture depends on humankind living as “lightly” as possible, mitigating the damage wrought on the environment and ourselves.

Gorilla Food the book is both an innovative cooking manual and a raw vegan bible; recipes include a raw lasagna made with zucchini noodles, kale, and a “cheese” made from walnuts, and a raw soup made from seasonal greens, tomatoes, and avocado. There are also amazing raw pizzas, fruit pies, and chocolate desserts that will delight vegans and non-vegans alike with their surprisingly complex flavours. The book also contains recipes for dehydrated and cultured foods, important for a raw food diet and surprisingly simple to prepare.

Gorilla Food will make you go ape for living life to the rawest!

Aaron Ash Aaron Ash is the founder of Gorilla Food, an organic, vegan, raw food restaurant in downtown Vancouver. In addition to running Gorilla Food, Aaron Ash was a former personal chef to Mike-D of the Beastie Boys. He is also an in-demand caterer for high-profile events around North America, and is making plans to open additional Gorilla Food locations in Greater Vancouver.

An irresistible guide to all things cute and collectible.

HELLO, CUTIE! Adventures in Cute Culture new release

A doe-eyed doll, a smiley-faced cupcake, a sweet plush kitten: they’re cute—and cute is at the heart of a growing legion of adult collectors and enthusiasts who live and breathe all things cuddly and adorable.

Pamela Klaffke, author of Spree: A Cultural History of Shopping and herself an avid collector of cute since she was a child, takes readers on a rainbow-and-unicornfilled journey through cute culture, from its origins in Japan where teenaged girls help drive the “cute” economy, to its modern-day manifestations in the bubblegum-coloured careers of performers like Katy Perry.

The book also delves into the fanatical world of cute creators and collectors, the psychology of nostalgia, and the phenomenon known as creepy/cute. There’s also cute food, anthropomorphized animals, and cute superstars such as Blythe, My Little Pony, and Hello Kitty herself. Full-colour throughout, the book also includes many photographs of cute objects from the author’s extensive personal collection.

As charming and captivating as its subject matter, Hello, Cutie! invites readers to indulge their cuddliest guilty pleasures. It’s as cute as can be!

A fun romp through the cultural history of the mustache.

ONE THOUSAND MUSTACHES new release

A Cultural History of the Mo

The ’stache is back! After decades of being much maligned in Western culture, the mustache is enjoying a cultural renaissance, thanks to the annual phenomenon of Movember (the international campaign in which men grow facial hair during the month of November to raise funds for prostate cancer research; in 2011, 1.8 million men in fourteen countries participated), and the retro/ modern mo’s sported by the likes of Ryan Gosling, Ashton Kutcher, and James Franco. Shaving companies are offering new-fangled mustache groomers, and even Dr Seuss’s mustachioed The Lorax has made a comeback.

One Thousand Mustaches is both a lighthearted cultural history and an earnest style manual: it’s the story of the ’stache through the ages and its manifestations in politics, war, movies, music, sports, and art, as well as information on various ’stache styles and how to grow and wear them with pride. The book also includes numerous photos and drawings throughout.

Contemplating a handlebar or considering a Fu Manchu? Find them and more styles here in One Thousand Mustaches: a book for those with mo’s, and those who love ’em.

The history of one of Vancouver’s oldest and most venerated nightclubs.

LIQUOR, LUST, AND THE LAW The Story of Vancouver’s Legendary Penthouse Nightclub new release

Few Vancouver nightspots evoke such a fabled history as the Penthouse Nightclub. The after-hours watering hole for the famous and infamous, the Penthouse was founded in 1947 by brothers Joe, Ross, Mickey, and Jimmy Filippone and soon became the place to see and be seen in Vancouver in the 1950s and ’60s. Acts like Sammy Davis Jr, Nat King Cole, and Duke Ellington regularly performed on the Penthouse stage, and the venue was one of the few in town not only to welcome African American entertainers, but to house them as well, at a time when Vancouver hotels refused to. Audiences often included visiting stars such as Frank Sinatra, Errol Flynn, Gary Cooper, and many others.

In the 1970s, the Penthouse became infamous for its exotic dancers, resulting in a colourful, lurid history involving vice squads, politicians, judges, and con men, and culminating in the murder of Joe Filippone, known as the “Godfather of Seymour Street,” in the Penthouse’s office in 1983. However, through decades of evolving social mores and changing cultural styles in a city constantly trying to reinvent itself, the Penthouse has somehow survived, a testament to its storied history and the fortitude of the Filippone family that still owns it.

Aaron Chapman Aaron Chapman is a writer and musician with a special interest in Vancouver’s entertainment history. Born and raised in Vancouver, he has been a contributor to the Vancouver Courier, the Georgia Straight, and CBC Radio.

An epic graphic novel for young people about Chinese immigrants in North America.

ESCAPE TO GOLD MOUNTAIN new release

A Graphic History of the Chinese in North America

The history of Chinese immigration to Canada and the US over the past 100-plus years has been fraught with sadness and indignity; newcomers to North America encountered discrimination, subjugation, and separation from loved ones. As well, in Canada the Chinese head tax was introduced after the Canadian Parliament passed the Chinese Immigration Act of 1885 to discourage Chinese immigrants, while in the US, the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act outright banned Chinese immigration to America. Despite such obstacles, these Chinese newcomers persevered in order to create a better life for the generations to come.

Escape to Gold Mountain is the first graphic novel to tell their story: based on historical documents and interviews with elders, this is a vivid history of the Chinese in their search for “Gold Mountain” (the Chinese colloquialism for North America) as seen through the eyes of the Wong family. They traverse the challenges of eking out an existence in their adopted homeland with hope and determination, creating a poignant immigrant’s legacy for their sons and daughters.

Escape to Gold Mountain is a moving and gripping story for all young Canadians.

Ages 12 and up.

David H.T. Wong David H.T. Wong was born and raised in Vancouver, where he still lives. He is an accomplished architect and a respected Asian Canadian community activist whose family first came to Canada from China 130 years ago.

Musician Rae Spoon’s first book, about a young person growing up queer in Alberta.

FIRST SPRING GRASS FIRE new release

Transgender indie electronica singer-songwriter Rae Spoon has six albums to their credit, including 2012’s I Can’t Keep All of Our Secrets. This first book by Rae (who uses “they” as a pronoun) is a candid, powerful story about a young person growing up queer in a strict Pentecostal family in Alberta.

The narrator attends church events and Billy Graham rallies faithfully with their family before discovering the music that becomes their salvation and means of escape. As their father’s schizophrenia causes their parents’ marriage to unravel, the narrator finds solace and safety in the company of their siblings, in their nascent feelings for a girl at school, and in their growing awareness that they are not the person their parents think they are. With a heart as big as the prairie sky, this is a quietly devastating, heart-wrenching coming-of-age book about escaping dogma, surviving abuse, finding love, and risking everything for acceptance.

Rae Spoon Rae Spoon is a transgender musician/writer/workshop facilitator originally from Calgary. Rae has been nominated for a Polaris Prize, toured internationally, and released six solo albums. They were recently published in the Arsenal Pulp anthology Persistence and composed the instrumental score for the National Film Board film Dead Man. Rae will soon be the subject of a National Film Board documentary. Rae lives in Montreal.

From First Spring Grass Fire: I would stare at the slivers of the Rocky Mountains that I could see from my bunk bed and imagine crawling over them like they were tiny pebbles to the ocean. I would look into the clouds for messages that confirmed my doubts and found nothing—just a huge God-filled sky over the dry grass on Nose Hill, brown after the snow had melted and waiting for a cigarette to set the first spring grass fire.

An extravagant novel about powerful desires that destroy and create.

new release

THE LAVA IN MY BONES

A frustrated Canadian geologist studying global warming becomes obsessed with eating rocks after embarking on his first same-sex relationship in Europe. Back home, his young sister is a high school girl who suddenly starts to ooze honey through her pores, an affliction that attracts hordes of bees as well as her male classmates but ultimately turns her into a social pariah. Meanwhile, their obsessive Pentecostal mother repeatedly calls on the Holy Spirit to rid her family of demons. The siblings are reunited on a ship bound for Europe where they hope to start a new life, but are unaware that their disguised mother is also on board and plotting to win back their souls, with the help of the Virgin Mary.

Told in a lush baroque prose, 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.

From The Lava in My Bones: When I reached the open field near my parents’ house, I stood panting on the empty plain. The wind struck me square in the face, whipped the bangs off my forehead, fluttered my eyelashes and dried the spittle on my lips. I looked down at my body: this body I lived in, this body I carted about wherever I went. These carbuncled fingers, these bulging thighs, this chest rising and falling like the swell of the sea were mine—were me.

It was then that I knew: air will free me. The wind I once feared will lift me high above the earth-bound people of Cartwright. Wind is what happens where air falls in love with itself. I’ll love the sweetness of my sweat and it will dissolve rocks hurled like missiles at my head.

Gripping, tough-hearted stories about the peculiar failings of men.

BULL HEAD new release

A line-dancing aficionado visits his brother in jail in hopes of mending their relationship, and instead discovers his own unwitting role in his brother’s failed life.

After the death of his wife and children, a logger tries to survive the Thanksgiving weekend on his own. A delinquent teen’s life is changed forever by a work-camp placement with a violent older boy. A truck driver seeks sanctuary from his abusive wife in a fantasy world of strip clubs and personal ads.

Bristling with restlessness and brutality, the eight linked stories in Bull Head catapult readers into the gritty lives of rural male characters lost in purgatories of their own making. Arresting and provocative, Bull Head tempers raw and at times cruel rural masculinity with graceful prose and breathtaking tenderness to illuminate the plight of men who belong neither to history nor the future. A startling homage to the great Southern Gothic tradition, Bull Head is a dazzling debut that heralds a powerful and exciting new literary voice.

From Bull Head: The night bled in around him. He drove to the gravel turnoff where the main artery led toward the dull lights of town. In his rearview, brake lights blazed a trail behind him. He took his foot off the brake, turned and accelerated, kept his eyes on the road as it unfurled a few yards ahead in the white wash of the headlights. The wilderness rushed towards him in the glow, trees flashed past like an ancient chorus in a cold cathedral, the car swerved on gravel, peppering the undercarriage, the dust obliterated the road behind. He slammed the gas pedal to the floor; the cruel rush of night air blasted his face. The fuel light flashed red. He turned off the headlights, and sped faster, the wind screaming in his ears as he lifted his hands off the steering wheel and hurtled through the darkness.

A Queer Film Classic on Hitchcock’s acclaimed homoerotic thriller.

STRANGERS ON A TRAIN new release

A Queer Film Classic

Alfred Hitchcock’s 1951 thriller based on the novel of the same name by Patricia Highsmith (who also wrote The Talented Mr. Ripley) is about two men who meet on a train: one is a man who wishes to divorce his unfaithful wife so he can marry a US senator's daughter; the other is an enigmatic bachelor with an overbearing father. Together they enter into a murder plot that binds them to one another, with fatal consequences.

This Queer Film Classic delves into the homoerotic energy of the film, especially between the two male characters (played by Farley Granger and Robert Walker). It builds on the question of the sexuality the film puts on view, not to ask whether either character is gay so much as to explore the queer relations between sexuality and murder and the strong antisocial impulses those relations represent. The book also includes a look at the making of the film and the critical controversies over Hitchcock’s representations of male homosexuality.

QUEER FILM CLASSICS is a critically acclaimed book series that launched in 2009, edited by Thomas Waugh and Matthew Hays, covering twenty-one of the most important and influential films about and by LGBTQ people made between 1950 and 2005, and written by leading LGBTQ film scholars and critics. For other Queer Film Classic titles, see page 26.

Jonathan Goldberg Jonathan Goldberg is Arts and Sciences Distinguished Professor of English at Emory University in Atlanta, where he has directed the Studies in Sexualities Program since 2008. He is the author of many books, including Writing Matter, Sodometries, and Desiring Women Writing, and is the editor of Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick’s posthumous 2012 book The Weather in Proust.

A Queer Film Classic on the 1997 film about a boy who insists that he is a she.

MA VIE EN ROSE A Queer Film Classic new release

Ma vie en rose (“My life in pink”) is the acclaimed 1997 Belgian film directed by Alain Berliner, about a sevenyear-old garçon-fille (boy-girl) who loves wearing dresses watching Le monde de Pam, and celebrating pink as the true colour of gender, sexuality, and race. Ludovic lives happily in the suburbs with his typical nuclear family, and his parents indulge his taste for being a she until his bold wedding game with Jérôme, the boy next door, provokes a family crisis by setting things queer in the pastel-coloured neighbourhood. The film won a Golden Globe Award for best foreign film but was rated Restricted by the Motion Picture Association of America, a move that some regarded as transphobic.

The film resonates in current debates on transgenderism, especially as they relate to children.

This Queer Film Classic considers the ramifications of the film’s controversial themes within the context of contemporary queer studies, especially in the relationships between predicament, the politics of identity, and metaphors of the self. It also delves into the film’s cultural impact as a bright and bold story about difference, rejection, and the innocence of youth.

The 3-Day Novel Contest winner, about a legendary indie-rock band named Heidegger Stairwell.

new release

HEIDEGGER STAIRWELL

Music journalist Evan Strocker has almost finished a book about his time with Heidegger Stairwell, an indierock legend from small-town Ontario whose members he has known his whole life. But the band thinks he’s left a little too much of himself on the page—letting his experiences as a transgender man and his complicated “romance” with the lead guitarist eclipse the story of the group’s dramatic rise and fall. Through notes and marginalia, the musicians argue over their friend’s version of the truth and fight to put their own testimony on the record. And, as Strocker’s manuscript finally comes together, both band and writer are forced to face a shocking new event that will change their fortunes once again.

Heidegger Stairwell is the winner of the 34th Annual International 3-Day Novel Contest—a notorious literary marathon held every Labour Day weekend that pushes writers to produce risky, original, and fast-paced narratives within highly demanding constraints.

Vancouver's Granville Island Public Market, established in 1979, is one of Canada's largest and most popular public markets.

Taking off from the original bestselling Granville Island Market Cookbook (published in 1985), this collection of recipes uses fresh produce, gourmet meats, wild seafood, artisanal cheeses, fresh pasta, and other goods found at any public market offering quality, healthful food. Full-colour throughout, the book also includes lively food photos, Market snapshots, and profiles of the Market's dedicated vendors, several of whom have been purveying their wares for many years.

Includes recipes such as barbecued leg of lamb, penne with spot prawns, Niçoise sandwich, orange and pomegranate salad, and roasted figs.

We Sure Can! celebrates the ongoing "Canvolution," in which urban "preservationists," local-food aficionados, rural picklers and jammers, and food bloggers are rediscovering the vanishing art of home canning jams, pickles, and other preserves. The book features over 100 recipes from an international assembly of inventive canners (including the author herself), and profiles of those who do it best. The book's recipes are divided according to the seasons; some of the more tantalizing creations include Lemongrass, Ginger, & Kaffir Lime Jelly; Blackberry Lime Jam; Dandelion Jelly; Pickled Ramps; Lavender Peach Preserves; and Pickled Watermelon Rinds. The book also features practical and important information and safety tips for those wanting to start canning produce at home.

All of the recipes are easy to prepare with a minimum of ingredients but guaranteed to deliver energy, nutrition, and great flavour. The rest of the book contains information and advice pertinent to vegan travellers, from how to deconstruct a restaurant menu to what food items are best suited to carry around in your luggage or handbag. There’s even a section on “How to Say ‘I Am Vegan’” in numerous languages.

Hoopla showcases those who take the craft of embroidery where it's never gone before, in an astonishing, full-colour display of embroidered art. Hoopla rebels against the quaint and familiar embroidery motifs of flowers and swashes, and focuses instead on innovative stitch artists who specialize in unusual, guerrilla-style patterns such as needlepoint nipple doilies and a ransom note pillow; it demonstrates that modern embroidery artists are as sharp as the needles with which they work.

AFTER CANAAN

THE LAST GENET

Wayde Compton

Hadrien Laroche, translated by David Homel

In these varied essays, Compton marks the passing of old modes of anti-racism and multiculturalism, and points toward what may or may not be a “post-racial” future, but will, without doubt, be a brave new world of cultural perception.

The Last Genet is a careful philosophical and historical reading of the last eighteen years in the life of Jean Genet, during which time he became intimately involved with the plight of the oppressed (the Black Panthers, the Palestinians, the Baader Meinhof).

SHOOT IT!

THE ONLY POETRY THAT MATTERS

Hollywood Inc. and the Rising of Independent Film

Reading the Kootenay School of Writing

David Spaner

Clint Burnham Shoot It! is a revealing history of how Hollywood, with its eye on the bottom line, lost its ability to support the work of creative filmmakers; it is also a passionate portrait of the American independents, and others outside the studio system, who have risen up to fill the void.

Clint Burnham unpacks and demystifies the poets and poetry of the KSW, one of Canada's most prominent language poetry groups. He argues that it matters because of its materiality, its politics, and how the writing, rather than offering a ready-made message, passes the work onto the reader, allowing the reader to create meaning.

An Environmental Odyssey Robert Hunter

How It All Began is the personal testimony of Michael “Bommi” Baumann, a man who, in the late 1960s and early ´70s, was a member of the June 2nd Movement, one of the most spectacular urban guerrilla organizations in West Berlin.

Of this book, Baumann said: “Others should understand why people take the road of armed struggle, how they come to it, how the seeds are planted, and what the emotions behind it are, what kind of considerations and psychic preconditions are needed to overcome the fear involved.”

A Little Sister’s Classic

gay & lesbian

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 viciously funny, shocking, yet ultimately moving 1975 novel, an allegory of Franco’s Spain, about a young gay man coming of age in a troubled family: with a mother who despises him, a father who ignores him, and a brother who loves him.

winner of the prix hermes in france Haunting … unusual … Eerie yet amusing … Gómez-Arcos neatly satirizes Franco’s Spain and the Roman Catholic Church and gets in a few pokes at America as well … refreshingly distinctive and engaging.

Crossings

THE MERE FUTURE

Betty Lambert

Sarah Schulman

Crossings was Betty Lambert’s only novel; published by Pulp Press in 1979, it was revolutionary for its frank and unsettling portrayal of Vicky, a female writer in Vancouver in the early 1960s, an educated and intelligent woman who struggles to come to terms with herself as she navigates an emotionally abusive relationship with Mik, a violent logger and ex-con. This new edition includes an introduction by writer Claudia Casper.

That rara avis, the novel that makes you say, now here’s a real novelist … Crossings is a powerful novel of a woman discovering herself. And we discover a powerfully talented writer. —Globe and Mail

In this dystopian vision, New York City has morphed into an idealized version of itself, the result of what the newly elected mayor calls “The Big Change.” Rent is cheap, homelessness is over, and everyone works in Marketing. Calling on all genres, Schulman invents a literature that reflects the lives we live right now, while being funny, sexy, and open-hearted.

Schulman is also the author of Empathy (page 22), The Child (below), and Rat Bohemia (below).

THE CHILD

RAT BOHEMIA

Sarah Schulman

Sarah Schulman

The Child explores the parameters of queer teen sexuality against a backdrop of hysteria and sanctioned homophobia. Stew is a fifteen-yearold boy who goes online looking for an older man to have sex with. But when his older boyfriend is arrested in an Internet pedophilia sting, his life is exposed to his family and town.

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.

SOUCOUYANT David Chariandy

Jonah Ayot is a graduate student from a fictional central African nation, studying in a fictional American city some time after the US invasion of Iraq in 2003. Dissonant, frantic, and full of the white noise of a culture at war with itself, Odhiambo’s novel is both disturbing and breathtaking.

The Reverend’s Apprentice is that recognizable sort of hybird-genre novel, its technical sophistication within the lineage of David Foster Wallace, Laurence Sterne, and the Bible. … Here is an authentic and powerful writer channeling the anxieties, disjunctions, arrogances, and strivings of our time. —Rain Taxi

A soucouyant is an evil spirit in Caribbean folklore. This extraordinary first novel focuses on a man who reconnects with his Caribbean-born mother suffering from dementia.

Larissa Lai

A fox spirit comes to haunt a young woman living in Vancouver, bringing the history of another haunting, that of the T’ang Dynasty poet Yu Hsuan-Chi. One part history, one part fairytale, one part urban discontent, this delightful novel cracks open all preconceptions of Asian women, gender, sexuality, family, faith, and the flow of time. By the author of Automaton Biographies (page 33).

Suzette Mayr

A monstrously funny novel, Venous Hum charts the lives of Lai Fun Kugelheim and Stefanja Dumanowski, best friends who, upon hearing the news of an old high school acquaintance’s death, are gripped by an insatiable nostalgia and organize a twentyyear reunion. A satire on race, gender, sexual preference, and vegetarianism, this novel will throw your assumptions of the world and the people who inhabit it out the window.

AMERICAN WHISKEY BAR Michael Turner

HARD CORE LOGO Michael Turner

The imagined story of the making of the film of the same name, and includes the entire original screenplay—a story of sex, violence, lies, ambition, power, paradox, dreams, and regret. When first published in 1997, American Whiskey Bar elicited rave reviews for its anti-aesthetic, postmodern ideas of what constitutes a novel. This later edition features a foreword by William Gibson. Turner is also the author of Hard Core Logo (opposite).

Michael Turner’s classic novel-in-verse about the legendary punk band Hard Core Logo’s reunion tour across Western Canada transforms the rock ’n’ roll road experience into a tale of broken dreams and shattered friendships. Bruce McDonald’s film version of Hard Core Logo won the City TV Award in 1996. Hard Core Logo Live, a stage adaptation, debuted in Edmonton and Vancouver in 2011.

GOT ’TIL IT’S GONE

A vivid and utterly transfixing love story between two men set in the nineteenthcentury American Midwest. Missouri is destined to become a gay men’s camp classic for its earnest, romantic reinterpretation of a time and place in American history traditionally closed off to gay readers.

As funny, warm, and sexy as its protagonist, Got ‘til it’s Gone is the first novel by Larry Duplechan in fifteen years, and the fourth to feature his alter-ego Johnnie Ray Rousseau, a gay black man of Louisiana Creole stock, now facing a midlife crisis. A queer romantic comedy for the twenty-first century. See also Blackbird (page 22).

Clint Burnham

Told in dreamlike fragments, ManBug unfolds as a love story between Sebastian, an entomologist with Asperger’s Syndrome, and Tom, a spiritual bisexual who may or may not be recruiting Sebastian for a cult.

A raw, candid, and amorphous novel told through jargon and petty dialogue commonly heard in the street or on public transit. Clint Burnham evokes William Gaddis, David Foster Wallace, and Irvine Welsh in this novel, a confounding period piece that takes no prisoners. By the author of The Only Poetry That Matters (p. 20).
