LANDMARK EDITION
Disappearing Moon Cafe: Landmark Edition by SKY Lee
Disappearing Moon Cafe was a stunning debut novel that has become a Canadian literary classic. An unflinchingly honest portrait of a Chinese Canadian family that pulses with life and moral tensions, this family saga takes the reader from the wilderness in nineteenthcentury British Columbia to late twentieth-century Hong Kong, to Vancouver’s Chinatown. Intricate and lyrical, suspenseful and emotionally rich, it is a riveting story of four generations of women whose lives are haunted by the secrets and lies of their ancestors but also by the racial divides and discrimination that shaped the lives of the first generation of Chinese immigrants to Canada. Each character, intimately drawn through Lee’s richness of imagery and language, must navigate a world that remains inexorably “double”: Chinese and Canadian. About buried bones and secrets, unrequited desires and misbegotten love, murder and scandal, failure and success, the plot reveals a compelling microcosm of the history of race and gender relations in this country. With a new afterword by Chris Lee and an author Q&A.

“
Raw human hungers, traditional imperatives, blind and tragic forces of racism conspire to weave a dense and tangled web. SKY Lee’s skill at unravelling the knots is mesmerizing.” - Joy Kogawa, author of Obason
“
Lee is an unusual storyteller: brilliant, unrelenting and humourous.” - Joy Harjo, author of She Had Some Horses
“
Lee presents an unflinching look at both the men and women of the culture, their passions, their hatreds and their unique gift—or curse—for survival.” - Evelyn Lau, Vancouver Province

Paper Teeth
Nunatak First Fiction Series # 43
by Lauralyn Chow
• Shortlisted for the 2017 Alberta Readers’ Choice Award! • Shortlisted for the Georges Bugnet Award for Fiction at the 2017 Alberta Literary Awards! • Winner of the Robert Kroetsch City of Edmonton Book Prize! Lauralyn Chow’s debut, Paper Teeth, follows the lives of the Lees, a Canadian-Chinese family and their friends who reside in Edmonton, Alberta. While playing with time and place, from Edmonton in the 1960s and 70s up to presentday Calgary, Lauralyn Chow creates a world of walking dolls, family car trips, fashion and frosty makeup, home renovations inspired by pop culture, and moving up to big, new houses. The interconnected stories found in Paper Teeth are fun, funny, and heart-warming journeys about the pursuit of identity and the crafting of home. With domestic tomfoolery and through deft observation and prismatic-voiced humour—including ironic asides— Lauralyn Chow reveals how family nourishes hope.
FICTION ISBN 13 978-1-926455-63-1 BISAC: FIC019000, FIC029000 240 pp || 5.5 x 8.5” pb September 2016 || $19.95
Lauralyn Chow was born, raised, and educated in Edmonton, AB. Her first summer job was at a radio station, and she later worked as the first in-house lawyer for the Calgary Board of Education. She has a B.A. in Psychology, minoring in Sociology, and an LL.B. from the University of Alberta. When she visits Hawaii, which she does frequently, she is often mistaken for a local and once won an air ukulele contest during the Aloha Festivals. She currently resides in Calgary, AB.
“
Paper Teeth is an amazing swirl through imagination’s complicity with memory, both palpable and disappearing. The stories, some of them mini-novellas, are striking in how Lauralyn Chow improvises and juxtaposes the threads of quotidian particularities sewn into the folds of growing up. This is a hungry book and the hunger comes from deep need: love.” ~ Fred Wah, author of Diamond Grill and Waiting for Saskatchewan
“
Lauralyn Chow’s Paper Teeth is much more than a tasty dish of stories: it is a feast for the senses, a carnival of delicious detail. The stories here clench at memory’s slippery taste, the intense dynamics of a family balanced on the hyphen between expectation and hope, laughter and pride and forgiveness. These unforgettable characters will utterly entrance readers with their cat’s cradle of connection and adaptation, solitude and belonging.” ~ Aritha van Herk, author of Restlessness

Belinda’s Rings
Nunatak First Fiction Series # 33
by Corinna Chong Half-Chinese, half-English teenager Grace (but she’d prefer it if you called her “Gray” instead) is not a perfect little supermom-in-the-making like her older sister Jessica, and would rather become a marine biologist than a mother—although she does understand how to take care of her special-needs kid brother Squid better than anyone else in her family. When her mother Belinda abruptly runs out on her family and flies across the Atlantic in order to study crop circles in the English countryside, Grace is left alone to puzzle out her life, the world, and her unique place within it. With a warmth and a boisterous sense of humour reminiscent of Miriam Toews’ A Complicated Kindness and Peter Hedges’ What’s Eating Gilbert Grape? author Corinna Chong introduces us to two lovable and thoroughly original female characters: persnickety, precocious Grace, and her impractical, impulsive mother Belinda—very different women who nevertheless persistently circle back into each other’s hearts.

This story of family and identity, migration and integration, culture and self-discovery is told through family history, memory, and the occasional recipe.

In 1978, Kiyooka was named an Officer of the Order of Canada.
“
Pacific Rim Letters, alongside its earlier companion volume, Transcanada Letters, postmarks Roy Kiyooka’s 20-year letter-writing project as one of the most unique manifestos of epistolatory poetics in the past fifty years. This extraordinarily innovative and expansive painter, photographer, writer, and musician used the letter as a form to explore and develop a domestic aesthetics that addresses the daily life of the artist at work, the quotidian correspondences of business, community, and the imagination. The narrative threads through these missives deliver a gripping biotext of a racialized and hyphenated Canadian artist ‘leaping cultural fences’ and rapping out to the ‘myriad extensions’ of the ‘mundane self.’ And Smaro Kamboureli’s editing, together with her ‘Afterword,’ is a critically useful zip code of the particular context and nuances of this outstanding dispatch of Canadian cultural history.” ~ Fred Wah, author of Diamond Grill

Wild Daisies in the Sand:
Life in a Canadian Internment Camp by Tom Sando Wild Daisies in the Sand reopens a chapter in Canadian history. This book is a series of diary entries beginning in 1941, when author Tom Sando was imprisoned in concentration camps, first in Petawawa and then Angler, Ontario—a young Japanese Canadian imprisoned only because he was willing to stand and fight for his rights as a Canadian. The Japanese Canadians relocated to Petawawa and Angler were imprisoned in maximum security penitentiaries: compounds encircled by three layers of barbed wire fences, and under constant surveillance by rifle-armed guards stationed in watchtowers. These people were not prisoners of war or even criminals, but Canadian civilians deemed dangerous by the Canadian government merely because of their race. Wild Daisies in the Sand is a unique first-hand look at a part of the Japanese internment that many Canadians are still unfamiliar with. Tom Sando relates his story of loneliness, fear, and eventually friendship and hope, candidly and with careful thought.

Tom Sando was born in BC in 1922. After his mother’s death, he was sent to Japan to be raised by his relatives.

After the war, Sando was employed as a building foundation specialist in Winnipeg, MB and later moved to Edmonton, AB, in 1963, where he worked with a large piling company until his retirement.

Faking It: Poetics & Hybridity
Writer As Critic Series #7
Critical Writing 1984 - 1999 by Fred Wah
According to Fred Wah, the act of thinking critically is one of exploration and discovery. In Faking It, Wah demonstrates how writing poetry is writing critically. This scrapbook of Wah’s work— collected from fifteen years of his writing— contains essays, reviews, journals, notes and, most importantly, poetic improvisations on contemporary poetry and identity. Faking It was written between 1984 and 1999— during major shifts in critical thinking and cultural production—and the hybrid style of the book is an apt reflection of these changing times, as well as a reflection and study of Wah’s own hybrid identity.
NON-FICTION ISBN 978-1-896300-07-8 BISAC: LIT000000, LIT008030 288 pp || 5.5 x 8.5” pb April 2000 || $24.95

“
Faking It: Poetics & Hybridity was a considerable pleasure and astonishing on the level of developing Wah’s extremely varied literary and poetic inspirations . . . it would obviously be useful to teach alongside any of his collections as the readers gain an astonishing glimpse into the critical (and creative) mind of the poet, one that tells us how much the writerly subject position is vital to any readerly interpretation.” ~ Asian American Literature Fans

Mothertalk:
Life Stories of Mary Kiyoshi Kiyooka by Roy Kenzie Kiyooka In 1993 Mary Kiyooka sat with her son Roy Kiyooka, one of Canada’s most important avant-garde painters, and a tape recorder and in her native Japanese shared her memories with him—her childhood in Japan, her arrival as a married woman in Canada, and her family’s experience in Alberta during the Japanese internment period. Mary Kiyoshi Kiyooka was born in Japan in 1896. The feisty daughter of a well-educated samurai, she was raised in the manner of that class. An arranged marriage brought Mary to the relative wilds of Canada in 1917 to join her immigrant husband. Even as she embraced this adventure she could not have anticipated the many emotional and financial hardships that that she would endure. Mary suffered a prolonged separation from two of her seven children, several moves around the West, and the forced relocation of her family during WWII. Mary died in 1996 in Edmonton at age 100.
