        Granby au passé simple

        by Akim Gagnon

        In Granby, Past Tense, we find Akim, his brother and his Pop in the modest mobile home in Granby where he grew up. In this incredibly tender novel and behind Akim’s trashy bravado, we discover ordinary small town misery: unemployment, the father’s solitude and depression, cloyingly close quarter and hygiene that’s thrown out the window, adolescent ineptitude, and the resulting tensions… The Gagnons’ house is full of cracks— both literally and figuratively. Faced with this excruciating spectacle, young Akim seeks refuge in movies, theatre classes and especially the lens of his camera, through which he attempts to remix reality to better tell its story, if not escape it. At once trashy, tender and hilarious, Granby, Past Tense casts a sad yet empathetic eye on depression and anxiety, father-son relationships and poverty.

        Yogi Stripper

        by Marie-Claude Renaud

        In a frank, judgment-free tone, Marie-Claude Renaud explores what led her to pursue— in such a singular manner —her two passions: erotic dancing and yoga. The author looks back at her start in small town strip clubs, which led to success in the biggest clubs in Montréal, revealing hidden sides of this scandalous universe. The author also tells of learning yoga from a toxic guru and expresses her solidarity with the women in both fields, unquestionably quite different. She addresses, with the same spontaneity, her difficult relationship with food and body image, as well as her exploration— happy to a certain extent —of the world of psychedelic drugs. Captivating, funny and blisteringly sincere, Yogi Stripper invites us into a world that’s nothing if not colourful.

        Mélasse de fantaisie

        by Francis Ouellette

        Rue Poupart, Centre-Sud, December 1976. A newborn slips from the inexperienced arms of his mother and tumbles down the stairs of the apartment building. At the moment that the skull should have cracked, time stands still and simultaneously stretches out: Francis sees his whole life and sets about relating it. Guided by Frigo, a well-known local bum, the author roams the nooks and cellars of his memory and a neighbourhood infected by the gangrenous rot of the dearly departed Faubourg à m’lasse, as the working-class area was once called. An at times hilarious and troubling epic, Fancy Molasses is a constellation of (real) characters who are larger than life, such as Ti-Crisse, Josette’s girlfriend, Lil’ Mike the disgraced saxophonist and Raymonde, the undisputed champion of Rock-A-Thon. And while the neighbourhood’s exotic wildlife fascinates, it’s also menacing. Left to his own devices, Francis will try to embrace and escape life as best he can. Anyways, as he says. Somewhere between The Life Before Us, the psychomagic of Alejandro Jodorowski and the opulent cinema of André Forcier, Fancy Molasses is a gargantuan tale stuffed with bits of unforgettable bravery.

        Si Rose était là

        by Jennifer Couëlle, illustrated by Bérangère Delaporte

        A story of grief, but above all of love Rose is gone. As Ellie recollects the wonderful times spent with her grandmother, she discovers that Rose has left her gifts of happiness: the delight of shutting her eyes to better taste her favorite foods, the fun of taking memories with her eyes instead of pictures with a camera, the joy of strolling barefoot in the moss on walks in the forest. While choosing her clothes for the farewell ceremony, Ellie struggles to make up her mind. What would Rose do? In the end, it’s her grandmother’s love of fantasy that helps her decide. It’s as if she were still here.
