SUMMARY:Author talk with Anthea Penne
DESCRIPTION:Join Anthea Penne\, author of Old Stones\, as she reads excerpts from her novel and discusses the research behind it. \nAt the end of the Second World War nearly 50\,000 women emigrated to Canada from Britain and the continent. For those women\, the Atlantic crossing marked the beginning of a great adventure: a new country\, a new life and a new husband. But those transcontinental marriages often created a dual heritage for the children of the unions\, making “home” difficult to define. In Old Stones\, the gap between Anthea’s privileged English and provincial Canadian backgrounds is made achingly clear in family stories from both continents. An unsentimental look at a war-time union\, Old Stones is an inquiry into one woman’s very different backgrounds as well as a candid examination of a family’s cultural divide. \nRegistration required. Register online or call 604-929-3727\, ext. 8166. Contact Vanessa at gillv@nvdpl.ca for more information. \nThis event takes place in the Enid Dearing Meeting Room at Parkgate Library.

SUMMARY:Challenge to Civilization: Indigenous Wisdom & the Future -Blair Stonechild
DESCRIPTION:ONLINE EVENT \nOn Saturday\, February 3rd at 2pm (Vancouver time) join Massy Arts\, Massy Books and University of Regina Press for the launch of Challenge to Civilization: Indigenous Wisdom and the Future by Blair Stonechild with guest Jesse Archibald-Barber. \nThis project has been made possible by the Government of Canada. Ce projet a été rendu possible grâce au gouvernement du Canada. \nVenue & Accessibility \nThe event will be hosted online on zoom\, all listed times are in the Vancouver time zone. \nClosed captioning can be accessed via zoom. \nRegistration is free and required for entrance. \nAbout the book \nIn this final book of his trilogy\, Dr. Stonechild deftly illustrates how Indigenous spirituality\, wisdom\, and land-based knowledge is critical to human survival in the face of environmental destruction and human-induced climate change. Reinterpreting world history from an Indigenous perspective\, Stonechild’s solution to this unfolding catastrophe is “ecolization\,” a state in which humans recognize they are not the central purpose of creation and a way of existing harmoniously with the natural and spiritual worlds. \nBeautifully written\, urgent\, and critical\, Challenge to Civilization reminds us that it is not Earth that is in danger of extinction\, but ourselves\, and Indigenous spiritual wisdom can be the guiding light through what will otherwise be humanity’s final\, ever-darkening days. \nAbout the author \nBlair A. Stonechild is a member of the Muscowpetung First Nation in Saskatchewan. He is a residential school survivor and was the first faculty member hired at the First Nations University of Canada in 1976. He is an author of five previous books and lives in Regina with his wife Sylvia and three adult children. \nAbout the guest reader \nJesse Archibald-Barber is from oskana kâ-asastêki. He teaches Indigenous Literatures in English at the First Nations University of Canada\, specializing in Saskatchewan Indigenous literary history and early Indigenous literatures in Canada.

We would love if everyone could bring one or more of their favourite books that they’ve read at least a good chunk of (we will too)\, and be ready to chat about it with other people. Maybe you can even come home with someone else’s book if they’re open to a swap! We also accept the book-less that are just looking to learn about some new reads. \nIf you have books accumulating dust on your shelves\, bring them along\, we’ll have a dedicated space for any books seeking new homes. \nWhen: Tuesday\, February 6th\, 6 – 8 pm \nWhere:Massy Arts Society​\, 23 E Pender St\, Vancouver\, BC V6A 1S9

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Cold by Drew Hayden Taylor
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, February 14th at 6pm\, join Massy Arts\, Massy Books\, Penguin Random House Canada for the launch of Cold by Drew Hayden Taylor with host Sam Wiebe. \nThis project has been made possible by the Government of Canada. Ce projet a été rendu possible grâce au gouvernement du Canada. \nVenue & Accessibility \nThe event will be hosted at the Massy Arts Gallery\, at 23 East Pender Street in Chinatown\, Vancouver. \nRegistration is free and required for entrance. \nThe gallery is wheelchair accessible and a gender-neutral washroom is on-site. \nPlease refrain from wearing scents or heavy perfumes. \nFor more on accessibility including parking\, seating\, venue measurements and floor plan\, and how to request ASL interpretation please visit: massyarts.com/accessibility \nCovid Protocols: Masks keep our community safe and are mandatory (N95 masks are recommended as they offer the best protection). We ask if you are showing symptoms\, that you stay home. Thank you kindly. \nAbout the book: \nCold (Penguin Random House Canada\, 2024) \nA tragic plane crash that leaves two women stranded and fighting for their lives kicks off this sweeping and hilarious novel from award-winning writer Drew Hayden Taylor that blends thriller\, murder mystery\, and horror with humour and spectacle. \nElmore Trent is a professor of Indigenous studies who finds himself entangled in an affair that’s ruining his marriage; Paul North plays in the IHL (Indigenous Hockey League)\, struggling to keep up with the game that’s passing him by; Detective Ruby Birch is chasing a string of gruesome murders\, with clues that conspicuously lead her to both Elmore and Paul. And then there’s Fabiola Halan\, former journalist-turned-author and famed survivor of a plane crash that sparked a nationwide tour promoting her book. \nWhat starts off as a series of subtle connections between isolated characters quickly takes a menacing turn\, as it becomes increasingly clear that someone—or something—is hunting them all. \nTaking tropes from the murder mystery\, police procedural\, thriller\, and horror genres\, Drew Hayden Taylor weaves a pulse-pounding and propulsive narrative with an intricate cast of characters\, while never losing the ability to make you laugh. \nAbout the author: \nDREW HAYDEN TAYLOR has done many things\, most of which he is proud of. An Ojibway from the Curve Lake First Nations in Ontario\, he has worn many hats in his career\, from performing stand-up comedy at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C.\, to being Artistic Director of Canada’s premiere Native theatre company\, Native Earth Performing Arts. He has been an award-winning playwright (with over 100 productions of his work)\, a journalist/columnist (appearing regularly in several Canadian newspapers\, magazines\, and news networks)\, short story writer\, novelist\, television scriptwriter\, and has worked on over 20 documentaries exploring the Native experience including the popular Searching for Winnetou. His documentary series on APTN\, Going Native\, is in its third year. The author of 34 books\, he looks forward to finding out where his imagination will take him next. \nAbout the host: \nSam Wiebe is the author of the Wakeland novels\, one of the most authentic and acclaimed detective series in Canada. His latest\, Sunset and Jericho (2023)\, was a BC bestseller for over ten weeks\, and Hell and Gone (2021) won a silver medal from the Independent Publisher Book Awards. His work has also won the Crime Writers of Canada award and the Kobo Emerging Writers prize\, and been shortlisted for the Edgar\, Hammett\, Shamus and City of Vancouver book prizes. He lives in New Westminster\, BC.

SUMMARY:Sheila Heti in Conversation with Lee Henderson
DESCRIPTION:Please join Munro’s Books in celebrating the launch of Sheila Heti’s latest book\, Alphabetical Diaries. Sheila will be in conversation with UVic writing professor\, Lee Henderson. \nMunro’s Books is pleased to present two Canadian award-winning authors\, Sheila Heti and Lee Henderson\, in conversation at their store on Tuesday\, February 20th at 7:00 p.m. Sheila Heti will read from her new book Alphabetical Diaries and then chat about it with local fiction writer and UVic creative writing professor\, Lee Henderson. The evening will end with a Q&A with audience members and a book signing with Sheila Heti. This event is free to attend. \nA little over a decade ago\, Sheila Heti—the award-winning author of a string of modern classics including How Should a Person Be?\, Motherhood\, and Pure Colour—began looking back at the diaries she’d kept over the previous ten years\, searching for signs of deeper change inside herself. She loaded all 500\,000 words of her journals into Microsoft Excel\, to order the sentences alphabetically and seek out patterns and repetitions. How many times had she written\, “I hate him\,” for example? With the sentences untethered from the narrative of her diaries\, she started to see herself—and the Self—in a new way: as something quite solid\, anchored by shockingly few characteristic preoccupations. Returning to the project over the years\, something more universal and novelistic emerged. Alphabetical Diaries is the sublime and probing result—one that rises to the heights of artistry and insight for which Heti is rightfully acclaimed. \nSheila Heti is one of our greatest literary innovators and has been pushing boundaries with her work since the age of 24\, when she published her first book\, the short-story collection\, The Middle Stories\, in 2001. She’s since won the Governor General’s Award for Fiction and the Vine Award for Canadian Jewish Literature\, and has been shortlisted for the Giller Prize and longlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction. Heti’s fiction and criticism have appeared in the New York Review of Books\, London Review of Books\, The Paris Review\, The New Yorker\, and Granta. \nWHEN: Tuesday\, February 20th at 7:00 p.m. (doors at 6:30). \nWHERE: In-store at Munro’s Books\, 1108 Government St. \nWHAT: A reading by Sheila Heti from her latest book\, followed by a conversation with Lee Henderson and a Q&A with the audience. \nHOW: This event is free to attend.

SUMMARY:The Deepest Map by Laura Trethewey and Pitfall by Christopher Pollon
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, February 21st\, at 6pm join Massy Arts\, Massy Books\, Goose Lane Editions and Greystone Books in celebrating the launch of The Deepest Map: The High-Stakes Race to Chart the World’s Oceans by Laura Trethewey with guest Christopher Pollon. \nThis project has been made possible by the Government of Canada. Ce projet a été rendu possible grâce au gouvernement du Canada. \nVenue & Accessibility \nThe event will be hosted at the Massy Arts Gallery\, at 23 East Pender Street in Chinatown\, Vancouver. \nRegistration is free and required for entrance. \nThe gallery is wheelchair accessible and a gender-neutral washroom is on-site. \nPlease refrain from wearing scents or heavy perfumes. \nFor more on accessibility including parking\, seating\, venue measurements and floor plan\, and how to request ASL interpretation please visit: massyarts.com/accessibility \nCovid Protocols: Masks keep our community safe and are mandatory (N95 masks are recommended as they offer the best protection). We ask if you are showing symptoms\, that you stay home. Thank you kindly. \nAbout the books: \nThe Deepest Map: The High-Stakes Race to Chart the World’s Oceans (Goose Lane Editions\, 2023) \nFive oceans cover approximately seventy per cent of the earth\, yet we know little of what lies beneath them. Scientists\, investors\, militaries\, and private explorers are all vying to be the first to completely map the oceans’ floor. \nIn The Deepest Map\, Laura Trethewey chronicles this race to the bottom. Crossing the globe\, Trethewey documents Inuit-led crowdsourced mapping in the Arctic as climate change alters the landscape\, a Texas millionaire’s efforts to become the first man to dive to the deepest point in each ocean\, and investigates the increasingly fraught question of whether and how to mine the deep sea. \nPitfall: The Race to Mine the World’s Most Vulnerable Places (Greystone Books\, 2023) \nA harrowing journey through the past\, present\, and future of mining\, this expertly-researched account ends on a vision for how industry can better serve the needs of humanity. \nA race is on to exploit the last bonanzas of gold\, silver\, and industrial metals left on Earth. These metals are not only essential for all material comfort and need\, but for the transition to clean energy: in the coming decades\, billions of tons of copper\, nickel\, silver\, and other metals will be required to build electric vehicles\, solar and wind installations\, and green infrastructure. We need more metals than ever before\, yet the qualities and quantities are diminishing\, making the extraction process more polluting to land\, air and water. And most of these metals will be mined from the global south\, where social conflict will only grow\, led by Indigenous peoples demanding a greater say in how their wealth is used. \nAbout the authors: \nLaura Trethewey is an author and ocean journalist whose writing has appeared in the Guardian\, the Atlantic\, and the Walrus. Her first book\, The Imperilled Ocean\, was a Globe and Mail Top 100 Selection. In The Deepest Map\, she continues to explore the mysteries of the oceans and their watery depths. \nChristopher Pollon is an independent journalist who reports on the politics of natural resources\, focusing on mining\, oceans\, and energy. His work has appeared in dozens of publications\, including National Geographic\, VICE\, the Walrus\, the Tyee\, and the Globe and Mail. He is also the author of The Peace in Peril: The Real Cost of the Site C Dam. He lives in Vancouver\, BC.

SUMMARY:Dr. Jen Gunter in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join Munro’s Books in celebrating the launch of Dr. Jen Gunter’s newest book\, Blood: The Science\, Medicine\, and Mythology of Menstruation. We’ll present Dr. Gunter in conversation with UVic Gender Studies Professor Dr. Thea Cacchioni\, followed by a Q&A with the audience (no requests for medical advice\, please) and a book signing! \nBlood\, The galvanizing new book from Dr. Jen Gunter\, #1 bestselling author of The Vagina Bible and The Menopause Manifesto\, dispels the shame\, mythology\, and misinformation around menstruation with scientific facts\, medical expertise\, and a fierce feminist perspective. \nMost of us know about as much about how the uterus and ovaries function as we do about how the liver works. Add in societal shame around the menstrual cycle and it’s not surprising that misinformation is widespread. But\, as women’s health advocate and trusted OB-GYN Dr. Jen Gunter writes\, “you don’t have to think about your liver 5 days a month for 30 years\, so I’d argue people should know more about the uterus.” Enter Blood. \nIn her new book\, Dr. Gunter offers a clear\, no-nonsense guide to reproductive anatomy and answers all the questions you never knew you had about menstrual bleeding—for example\, where does the blood come from? And where does it go if you miss a period? Why do we even menstruate in the first place? With her expertise and trademark wit\, Dr. Gunter debunks myths and challenges patriarchal attitudes toward this natural bodily process. \nDr. Jen Gunter is board certified in OB/GYN and pain medicine. She writes about the intersection of women’s health\, sex\, science\, and pop culture for the New York Times. She has been called a fierce advocate for women’s health\, Twitter’s gynecologist\, and “strangely confident” by GOOP.com. She believes an empowered patient requires facts and she is here to fix the medical Internet and smash the patriarchy. \nDr. Thea Cacchioni is an Associate Professor of Gender Studies at UVic. Her research examines the medicalization of sex\, gender\, and sexuality\, broadly\, as well as through specific diagnoses such as Female Sexual Dysfunction and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. She is interested in the ways in which doctors\, psychiatrists\, and more recently\, drug companies shape understandings of “normalcy” and “deviance” across categories of gender\, racialization\, and class. Her work examines the pathologization of some sexual acts and identities and the “healthicization” of others. \nWHEN: Saturday\, February 24th at 7:00PM (doors at 6:30) \nWHERE: Victoria Conference Centre Lecture Theatre\, 720 Douglas St. in Victoria \nWHAT: Dr. Jen Gunter in conversation with Dr. Thea Cacchioni\, followed by a Q&A with the audience (no requests for medical advice\, please) and a book signing \nHOW: Tickets can be purchased HERE: https://jengunterblood.eventbrite.ca \nBook plus ticket: $42 (includes a copy of BLOOD to be picked up at the event)\nTicket: $20
