The Tower of Babble Sins, Secrets and Successes Inside the cbc richard stursberg
The ultimate cbc insider exposes the controversies, successes and dead ends of his time at the top In 2004, cbc television had sunk to its lowest audience share in its history. That same year, Richard Stursberg, an avowed popularizer with a reputation for radical action, was hired to run English services. With incisive wit, Stursberg tells the story of the struggle that resulted—a struggle that lasted for six turbulent and controversial years. Shortly after Stursberg arrived, the corporation locked out its employees for two months. Four years later, he signed the most harmonious labour contract to date. He lost the television rights for the 2010 and 2012 Olympic Games. He won the biggest nhl contract in history. He had unprecedented ratings successes. He had terrible flops. He enjoyed the best radio, television and online ratings in cbc’s history. He fought endless wars with the cbc president and board about the direction of the corporation and ultimately was dismissed. This is the story of our most loved and reviled cultural institution during its most convulsive and far-reaching period of change. It is for those who think the cbc has lost its way, those who love where it is, and those who think it should not exist in the first place. richard stursberg is the former head of cbc’s English services: television, online and radio. Before that, he was executive director of Telefilm Canada and achieved the largest share for Canadian movies at the domestic box office in history. He was also chair of the Canadian Television Fund (now the Canadian

Radio Belly Stories buffy cram
A formidable debut of nine surreally funny, politically astute and emotionally gripping stories In the surreal world of Buffy Cram’s stories, someone or something has slipped beneath the skins of her already beleaguered characters, rearranging the familiar into something strange and even sinister, making off with their emotional and even physical goods. A smug suburbanite becomes obsessed with the “hybrids,” the wandering mob of intellectual vagrants overrunning his complacent little cul de sac, snacking on pâté and reciting poetry; a father and daughter’s post-apocalyptic Pacific island civilization, built of floating garbage and sustained entirely by rubber, is beginning to fray, literally, revealing something disastrously like moss beneath its smooth synthetic skin; following an appendectomy, a young woman’s belly starts transmitting what sound like Russian radio signals; a young publishing assistant, demoted at work and dumped by her boyfriend, finds herself unable to control her strange new appetites. Inhabited, occupied, possessed—suddenly, the world as they knew it is no longer quite recognizable, not to mention safe—if it actually was safe before. But it’s the surprising, often revelatory ways in which Cram’s characters navigate through these strange new landscapes that imbue these stories with complexity, grace and lustre. buffy cram’s fiction has appeared in Prairie Fire, The Bellevue Literary Review and Darwin’s Bastards: Astounding Tales from Tomorrow.

A Matter of Life and Death Or Something A Novel ben stephenson
The big-hearted story of a ten-year-old boy, a notebook and the meaning of the universe Even though he’s only ten years old, Arthur Williams knows lots of things for sure. He knows all about trilobites, and bridge, and that he doesn’t want to be Victoria Brown’s boyfriend, and that tapping maple trees causes them excruciating pain. He knows his real dad is probably flying a hot-air balloon across the Pacific, or paving a city with moss. And he knows that Simon, the guy who pretends to be his dad, does absolutely nothing interesting. But when Arthur finds a weather-worn notebook in the woods behind his house, all he has are questions. Why was its author, Phil, so sad, and why does it end on page 43? Suddenly, there are other questions too: Why do people abandon people? Why do they abandon themselves? Arthur embarks on a top-secret investigation to find out who Phil is—or was. But getting straight answers from grown-ups is impossible, and before long, the only thing he knows for sure is that everything he thought he knew about life is probably wrong and that what he has to do is ten times bigger than what he can do. Told through a trio of voices: the wildly imaginative and perpetually awkward Arthur, Phil’s manic journal and the forest that watches them both, Ben Stephenson’s debut novel is a heartbreaking story of love, death and the unspeakable pain of being small. A Matter of Life and Death Or Something marks the exciting debut of an inventive and gifted storyteller. ben stephenson was born in New Brunswick. He has published short stories and poetry and studied fine art at nscad University. He lives in Canada with the feline Richard.

East Meets West Traditional and Contemporary Asian Dishes from Acclaimed Vancouver Restaurants stephanie yuen A wide-ranging cookbook and an insider’s glimpse into the kitchens of Vancouver’s world-class Asian restaurants In February 2010, Condé Nast Traveler magazine declared Metro Vancouver home to the best Chinese food in the world. While foodies flock to the city for dumplings and dim sum, they leave having discovered a wealth of world-class Asian dishes, from sushi to sambar, bánh mì to bubble tea. Almost one in five of Vancouver’s two million residents is ethnically Chinese, and the city supports more than four hundred Chinese restaurants. Other Vancouverites bring with them the cuisines of their onetime homes in Japan, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam or India. The first book of its kind, East Meets West is a celebration of the city’s Asian food and a mouthwatering compilation of distinctive dishes from its most talented—but often unheralded—kitchens. Veteran food writer Stephanie Yuen brings together a collection of recipes showcasing both traditional Asian foods made with fresh ingredients from the Pacific Northwest Coast and modern classics inspired by Asian flavours and techniques. With an introduction to the history of Asian food in Vancouver, and profiles of the city’s most exciting eateries—many of them hidden gems, elusive to the uninitiated—East Meets West is a delicious glimpse into one of the most food & wine April 2012 Paperback cdn $24.95

Undesirables White Canada and the Komagata Maru—An Illustrated History ali kazimi
A timely and superbly illustrated account of the explosive event that challenged Canada’s racist immigration policy ali kazimi
In May 1914, the Komagata Maru, a ship carrying 376 immigrants from British India, was turned away when it tried to land in Vancouver Harbour. Many of the men on board, veterans of the British Indian Army, believed it was their right to settle anywhere in the empire they had fought to defend.
undesIr ABles
Enforcing the “continuous journey” regulation, immigration boats surrounded the ship a half-mile offshore, making the passengers virtual prisoners. Thus began a dramatic standoff that would escalate over the next two months, becoming one of the most infamous events in Canadian history.

H I s t o r y
Weaving text together with rarely seen photographs and key documents, award-winning filmmaker Ali Kazimi explores what the current federal government has acknowledged as a “dark chapter” in Canada’s past. Throughout, he seeks answers to the incident’s most provocative questions: Why would Canada turn away these South Asian migrants when it had accepted more than 400,000 immigrants the previous year? Why were some of the passengers killed upon their forced return to India? How did this ship pose a threat to the mightiest empire the world had ever known?

By setting the story in a global context and against the early histories of Chinese, Japanese and African-American immigrants to Canada, Kazimi shows that the Komagata Maru “incident” was far from incidental. Today, with Canada’s immigration and refugee framework under intense scrutiny, the story of the Komagata Maru is all the more relevant. ali kazimi is a Toronto-based filmmaker. Born and raised in India, he came to Canada in 1983. Continuous Journey, his 2004 documentary investigating the events surrounding the Komagata Maru, has garnered awards on three continents. Kazimi is an associate professor in the Department of Film at York University.

Exploring Vancouver The Architectural Guide h a r o l d k a l m a n · r o b i n w a r d · Photographs by j o h n r o a f · Foreword by m i k e h a r c o u r t
The only comprehensive handbook to Vancouver’s architecture— from the modest to the monumental Vancouver is still a young city, and its streetscapes and neighbourhoods reflect the city’s constant state of reinvention.

The World of Farley Mowat
I
n one of those extraordinary turns of fate which character-
ize publishing, this catalogue introduces the first books in our
Farley Mowat library. I am enormously proud to say that we have won the right to reissue some thirteen of Farley’s books and we will do so over the coming years, at the rate of two per season. All will be relaunched in very handsome, completely redesigned paperback editions, with smashing new covers and a retail price of $19.95. I first met Farley when I was very young, working for McClelland & Stewart, so this represents something of a returning home for me. These two titles represent only the beginning – I am tempted to say a resurrection. Feisty icon; passionate Canadian; unrelenting foe of all pretension; energetic provocateur-at-large and, most importantly, superb and dedicated writer, Farley, I salute you. Scott McIntyre
farley mowat was born in Belleville, Ontario, in 1921. He began writing upon his return from serving in World War ii, and has since written 44 books. He spent much of his youth in Saskatoon, and has lived in Ontario, Cape Breton and Newfoundland, while travelling frequently to Canada’s far north. Throughout, Mowat has remained a determined environmentalist, despairing at the ceaseless work of human cruelty. Yet his ability to capture the tragic comedy of human life on earth has made him a national treasure in Canada, and a beloved storyteller to readers around the world. His internationally celebrated books include People of the Deer, The Dog Who Wouldn’t Be, Sea of Slaughter, and The Boat Who Wouldn’t Float.

And No Birds Sang “A seemingly effortless evocation of the fire that shaped a Canadian generation . . . bound to rank as one of Mowat’s major accomplishments.” mordecai richler Turned away from the Royal Canadian Air Force for his apparent youth and frailty, Farley Mowat joined the infantry in 1940. The young second lieutenant soon earned the trust of the soldiers under his command, and was known to bend army rules to secure a stout drink, or find warm - if non-regulation - clothing. But when Mowat and his regiment engaged with elite German forces in the mountains of Sicily, the optimism of their early days as soldiers was replaced by despair. With a naturalist’s eyes and ears, Mowat takes in the full dark depths of war – and his moving account of military service, and the

friends he left behind, is also a plea for peace. It is one of the most searing and unforgettable World War II memoirs from any Canadian.
A Whale for the Killing “A poignant and tragic parable for our times . . . a powerful and anguished book.” globe & mail When an 80-ton Fin Whale became trapped in a lagoon near his Newfoundland home, Farley Mowat rejoiced: here was a unique chance to observe one of the world’s most magnificent creatures up close. But some of his neighbours saw a different opportunity altogether: in a prolonged fit of violence, they blasted the whale with rifle fire, and scarred its back with motorboat propellers. Mowat appealed desperately to the police, to marine biologists, finally to the Canadian press. But it was too late. Mowat’s poignant and compelling story is an eloquent argument for the end of the whale hunt, and the rediscovery of the empathy that makes us human.

explorers to the edge of a new world, informed by groundbreaking new research and superior narrative power The final decade of the 15th century was pivotal in world history. The Genoese mariner Christopher Columbus sailed westward into the Atlantic Ocean in 1492, determined to secure for Spain a more direct route to the riches of the Indies. But as Columbus struggled to capitalize on his momentous discovery of distant landfalls, a troubled Venetian bridge contractor in Spain, on the lam from creditors and remembered as John Cabot, audaciously reinvented himself as an explorer and mounted a rival quest for England. In The Race to the New World, critically acclaimed author Douglas Hunter details the high-stakes race that threatened the precarious power balance of Europe and led both men to the shores of a new world that neither was looking for. With the use of fresh historical evidence, Hunter tells an untold story of the parallel journeys of Columbus and Cabot—two explorers whose interconnected lives are only fully understood together. “As this fascinating historical detective story unfolds, new pieces of an old puzzle are put into place, providing fresh perspective on the traditional discovery narrative . . .

Canada at War A Graphic History of World War Two pa u l k e e r y • m i c h a e l w yat t
A beautifully crafted graphic novel, tracing the achievements of the Canadian Forces in the Second World War In 1914, Canada went to war as a subject of Britain. In 1939, it made the choice to fight all on its own. Canada at War follows the developments and setbacks, wins and losses, of a nation learning to stand up for itself in the midst of the most difficult war of the 20th century. In graphic-novel format, fully illustrated and in full colour, Canada at War shows the growth of a nation’s army, navy and air force through movingly depicted triumphs and tragedies. From the disheartening losses at Dieppe and Hong Kong through the Battle of the Atlantic and the invasion of Sicily, it focuses on the human dimension of the key battles and decisions that ultimately swung the war in the Allies’ favour. This poignant graphic account ends, after the victories of D-Day and Juno Beach and the liberation of Europe, with a final reckoning of the legacy these storied years have had on a country forged through war. Aimed at both adult and young adult readers, this very human history tells the stories behind some of this country’s most distinguishing military moments. paul keery holds degrees in history, law, library and information science, and education. In 2007, he was selected as an Apple Distinguished Educator in recognition of his work in integrating technology into classroom teaching.

One Family’s Journey Canfor and the Transformation of British Columbia’s Forest Industry p e t e r b e n t l e y, as told to r o b i n f o w l e r
One of Canada’s most accomplished business leaders reflects on his influential role in the industry that built British Columbia From a privileged early childhood in Vienna to an overnight escape from Hitler’s grasp, to the seven decades spent building Canadian Forest Products with his father and uncle, Peter Bentley’s life story is one of great challenges and unequivocal successes. An unflinching leader and a respected philanthropist, Bentley describes a colourful business career and shares his unique perspective on the rise and fall—and the subsequent reinvention—of Western Canada’s forest industry in all its complexity. Bentley does not avoid controversy in his accounting of political shenanigans in B.C. and across the nation. Nor does he shy away from the challenge of staring down the deep well of environmental issues. His views are those of a passionate citizen who, like his father before him, has given much of his life to the improvement of business and culture in British Columbia and Canada. Bentley’s thoughts and reflections are his legacy to those who follow. peter j.g. bentley is chairman emeritus of Canfor Corporation and a director of its principal subsidiary, Canadian Forest Products Ltd. He is a director of Canfor Pulp Products Inc. and chair of Sierra Mountain Minerals Inc. From 2004 to 2007, he was chancellor of the University of Northern British Columbia, and he has received honorary degrees from unbc and ubc.

It was the last-chance moment of the war. In January 2007 President George W. Bush announced a new strategy for Iraq. He called it the surge. “Many listening tonight will ask why this effort will succeed when previous operations to secure Baghdad did not. Well, here are the differences,” he told a skeptical nation. Among those listening were the young, optimistic army infantry soldiers of the 2-16, the battalion nicknamed the Rangers. About to head to a vicious area of Baghdad, they decided the difference would be them. Fifteen months later, the soldiers returned home forever changed. Pulitzer Prize–winning Washington Post reporter David Finkel was with them in Baghdad, almost every grueling step of the way. What was the true story of the surge? And was it really a success? Those are the questions Finkel grapples with in his remarkable report from the front lines. Combining the action of Mark Bowden’s Black Hawk Down with the literary brio of Tim O’Brien’s The Things They Carried, The Good Soldiers is an unforgettable work of reportage. And in telling the stories of these good soldiers, the heroes and the ruined, Finkel has also produced an eternal tale—not just of the Iraq War but of all wars, for all time.

frankmckenna
Entrepreneur, lawyer, politician, statesman, citizen, family man, humanitarian—a candid portrait of leadership in transition
“[McKenna] not only sought the best for his province, but also the well-being of Canada and in so doing never backed down from his belief that good government fosters good jobs, that economic growth provides the strongest base for progress, and that pride and hope are essential components of a successful society, and of a successful people.”
the right honourable paul martin (from the foreword)
advance praise for frank mckenna: beyond politics “Harvey Sawler ably recounts Frank McKenna’s remarkable career, including his decade as premier of New Brunswick and his posting as Canadian ambassador to the United States. It is a portrait of an extremely able, intelligent, dedicated public servant and private citizen. Frank McKenna is an old fashioned man with modern ideas. I’ve been in public events with Frank all across Canada and seen the respect and affection Canadians have for him. This book will tell you why.”

frank mckenna: beyond politics is a compelling and surprising portrait of one of Canada’s most intriguing and highly respected politicians and business leaders, and is a must-read for anyone who wants to unravel the mystery of the only man in Canadian history to have had the prime minister’s office within his grasp, only to turn away from it— not once, but twice. With unfettered access to McKenna himself, biographer Harvey Sawler examines McKenna’s life—from rural New Brunswick poor boy to student leader, from news-making criminal lawyer to tireless political campaigner, and from a premier who swept every seat as he strode into power to, most recently, a diplomat, corporate dynamo and much-sought orator. Sawler pays particular attention to McKenna’s eventful post-premier life, most especially his brief but dramatic stint as Canada’s ambassador to the United States. Throughout McKenna’s life in the public eye, he has swept along a legion of watchers, admirers of his plainspoken common sense, singular brand of leadership that transcended partisanship, and innate balance of business instinct with social consciousness. It was with no small measure of disappointment that supporters accepted his decision to step away from the political arena. Sawler explores that decision and the extraordinary subsequent chapter as events unfold that could have occurred only when McKenna left behind the brightly lit political arena. At least for now. With insights from former prime ministers, premiers, ambassadors, diplomats, family and friends, Frank McKenna is a fascinating, inspiring look at perhaps the best prime minister Canada never had.

our distinguished fiction program Christina, Brenda, Laura, Ellen, Sue and Becky, six beautiful and cultured middle-aged women who have come to the sun-drenched island of Haiti in search of something new. No longer desired by the men from their northern homes, they are drawn to the steamy climate and beautiful adolescent bodies of this Caribbean island, hoping that both will keep them eternally young. But their dreams and fantasies blind them to the harsh reality that these boys live under a brutal dictatorship. Still, the women are ready to sacrifice everything: the flesh but also the hearts of these Haitian boys. Can desire be purchased? Who wins, and who loses in this transaction? And who really holds power when desire is the force driving all human history? Made into an award-winning film starring Charlotte Rampling, this provocative novel takes us into the world of artists, rappers, Voodoo priests, hotel owners, uptight Parisian journalists and partner-swapping Haitian lovers, all desperately trying to balance their own happiness with the need to survive. It explores the lines between sexual liberation and exploitation, artistic freedom and appropriation, independence and colonialism, and displays the wild talent of an author at the height of his powers.
fiction that actually deals with a black man’s fatigue with and ambivalence about America and himself.”

851. London, England. Once a well-known prize-fighter with a terrifying right fist (known as “the hammer of heaven”), Daniel O’Thunder has seen the light, and now the protection of the poor and the weak is his life’s work. He runs an establishment for those in need of food, shelter and counsel—a place where virtue and vice rub shoulders uneasily. But an ancient evil is stalking the streets, preying on the vulnerable souls it finds there. It is an evil that takes different forms and hides behind many faces, threatening everything Daniel loves most. Driven to desperation, Daniel responds by issuing a breathtaking challenge . . . to the Devil himself. Rich in humour and memorable characters, Daniel O’Thunder is a rollicking literary thriller set in the teeming slums of Dickensian London. Fast-paced and gripping, comic and tragic by turns, it is a spectacular fiction debut.
