SUMMARY:Graphic Novel Book Club: Cannon by Lee Lai
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Librairie Drawn & Quarterly (176 Rue Bernard Ouest) for our Graphic Novel Book Club! On Tuesday November 4th at 7 pm we will be discussing CANNON by LEE LAI\, published by Drawn & Quarterly. This meeting will be hosted by D+Q’s VP Editorial\, Tracy Hurren. The Graphic Novel Book Club is free to attend and no reservation is required.\nBuy the book: https://mtlshop.drawnandquarterly.com/cannon\n/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////\nCANNON: A LAMBDA Award winner and breakout fiction sensation returns with a darkly funny slice of friendship strife\nWe arrive to wreckage—a restaurant smashed to rubble\, with tables and chairs upended riotously. Under the swampy nighttime cover of a Montreal heat-wave\, this is where we meet our protagonist\, Cannon\, dripping in little beads of regret sweat. She was supposed to be closing the restaurant for the night\, but instead\, well\, she destroyed it. The mess feels a bit like a horror-scape—not unlike the horror films Cannon and her best friend\, Trish\, watch together. Cooking dinner and digging into deep cuts of Australian horror films on their scheduled weekly hangs has become the glue in their rote relationship. In high school\, they were each other’s lifeline—two queer second-generation Chinese nerds trapped in the suburbs. Now\, on the uncool side of their twenties\, the essentialness of one another feels harder to pin down.\nYet\, when our stoic and unbendingly well-behaved Cannon finds herself—very uncharacteristically—surrounded by smashed plates\, it is Trish who shows up to pull her the hell outta there.\nIn Cannon\, Lee Lai’s much anticipated follow-up to the critically acclaimed and award-winning Stone Fruit\, the full palette of a nervous breakdown is just a slice of what Lai has on offer. As Cannon’s shoulders bend under the weight of an aging Gung-gung and an avoidant mother\, Lai’s sharp sense of humor and sensitive eye produce a story that will hit readers with a smash.\n/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////\nLEE LAI is an Australian cartoonist living in Tio’tia:ke (colonially known as Montreal\, Canada).

SUMMARY:Graphic Novel Book Club: Misery of Love by Yvan Alagbé
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Librairie Drawn & Quarterly (176 Rue Bernard Ouest) for our Graphic Novel Book Club! On Tuesday September 30th at 7 pm we will be discussing MISERY OF LOVE by YVAN ALAGBÉ\, translated by Donald Nicholson-Smith\, and published by New York Review of Comics. This meeting will be hosted by D+Q’s Sales & Marketing Manager\, Francine Yulo. The Graphic Novel Book Club is free to attend and no reservation is required.\nBuy the book: https://mtlshop.drawnandquarterly.com/misery\n/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////\nMISERY OF LOVE: Colonial history haunts this stunning\, spectral-looking graphic novel\, a spiritual sequel to the author’s Yellow Negroes and Other Imaginary Creatures.\nIn Misery of Love\, a spiritual sequel to the acclaimed Yellow Negroes and Other Imaginary Creatures\, Yvan Alagbé continues his unflinching interrogation of race and family in modern France.\nThe book focuses on the dream-like memories of a woman named Clare\, who is reluctantly spending time with her relatives for a funeral. Alagbé seamlessly glides between narratives of the family’s past and present\, all haunted by the legacy of France’s colonial subjugation of Africa.\nAlagbé works in stormy grayscale washes\, using comics\, as he puts it\, as “a sacred dimension which celebrates\, questions and perpetuates life…. I believe that life is not damnation but grace.”\nTold through time shifts that echo Richard McGuire’s Here\, Misery of Love is another ambitious\, devastating masterpiece from one of France’s best contemporary graphic novelists.\n/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////\nYVAN ALAGBÉ was born in Paris and spent three years of his youth in West Africa. He is a cofounder of the publishing house Amok\, which later merged with the Belgian publishing group Fréon to become Frémok\, now a major European graphic novels publisher. He is the author of Yellow Negroes and Other Imaginary Creatures. He teaches at Haute école des arts du Rhin in Strasbourg.\n/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////\nLibrairie Drawn & Quarterly Accessibility information:– Our store uses StopGap.ca ramps in an effort to encourage accessibility.
