The National Post says Son of a Trickster is "humourously dark"

“Ian Williams’s Reproduction is many things at once. It’s an engrossing story of disparate people brought together and also a masterful unfolding of unexpected connections and collisions between and across lives otherwise separated by race, class, gender and geography. It’s a pointed and often playful plotting out of individual and shared stories in the close spaces of hospital rooms, garages, mansions and apartments, and a symphonic performance of resonant and dissonant voices, those of persons wanting to impress persuade, deny, or beguile others, and always trying again.”
 — JURY CITATION, Scotiabank Giller Prize

“You can almost feel this book vibrating in your hands, it is so compelling. You read it with a kind of agonized heart-in-the-mouth sensation, halfway between laughter and tears…. Truth is stronger than fiction.”
 — VICTORIA TIMES-COLONIST

“A revelatory work of astonishing grace, Blanket Toss Under Midnight Sun encapsulates an invisible generation brought to glorious life. So many times the subject could have been my auntie, cousin or grandmother. When people ask why I live on the rez, I’ll point them to this book, this stunning reclamation of narrative, which so movingly shows the love of place, community and self.” — EDEN ROBINSON, author of Monkey Beach and Son of a Trickster

“[Reproduction] is driven as much by its relationships as its characters, and is intensified and enriched by an inventive style that borrows from Williams’s giant poet’s brain.” — THE GLOBE AND MAIL

• SHORTLISTED FOR THE AMAZON FIRST NOVEL AWARD

“Gregory Scofield is the literary uncle to all of Indigenous Lit…. The return of Thunder Through My Veins marks an important shift in thinking about the cyclical nature of how our stories weave through time.”
 — JOSHUA WHITEHEAD, author of Jonny Appleseed

“Lansens throws her readers right into the action and keeps them there, as thirsty, hungry, and frightened as two young girls on the run. A crazy-good coming-of-age thriller that will make you sweat, starting at page one.”
 — CHRISTINA DALCHER, author of the bestseller VOX

“Lori Lansens’ This Little Light is kind of a millennial’s take on The Handmaid’s Tale. It’s complex and fun, and a super interesting look into what it is to be a teenage girl in these times…. I’m working on turning this into a series with Universal.”
— KATHLEEN ROBERTSON, actor, Northern Rescue

“Flavia’s over-the-top use of alliteration…and proudly precocious, sesquipedalian vocabulary…along with the thoroughly endearing cast of characters, make this series’ tenth installment a laugh-out-loud winner.”
 —BOOKLIST, starred review

“Robinson handles the new instalment of Jared’s story with ease and grace, her trademark good humour and often-disturbing imagination in equal display…. The third novel can’t come soon enough.” — THE TORONTO STAR

The New York Times: Wayson Choy, 80, Whose Books Are Windows on Chinese-Canadian Life, Dies

The Globe & Mail: Canadian author Wayson Choy inspired others with tales of childhood in Chinatown

CBC.ca: Wayson Choy, author of The Jade Peony, dead at 80

The Georgia Straight: Trailblazing Vancouver-born author Wayson Choy dies

Born and raised in Vancouver, Wayson Choy was Professor Emeritus at Humber College in Toronto. In 1995 his first novel, The Jade Peony, spent six months on The Globe and Mail’s national bestseller list, won the Trillium Book Award (shared with Margaret Atwood) for the best book by an Ontario author, and won the City of Vancouver Book Award. It was also an American Library Association Notable Book of the Year. It has never been out of print, and over 100,000 copies have been sold. The Literary Review of Canada declared The Jade Peony one of the one hundred most important books in Canadian history.

In 1999 Choy’s first memoir, Paper Shadows, was a finalist for the Governor General’s Award, the Charles Taylor Prize, and the Drainie-Taylor Biography Prize, and was the winner of the Edna Staebler Award for Creative Non-Fiction. All That Matters, a companion novel to The Jade Peony, won the Trillium Book Award in 2004 and was shortlisted for the Giller Prize. In 2006 Choy was inducted into the Order of Canada, and in 2009 he released to wide acclaim Not Yet: A Memoir of Living and Almost Dying.

“Choy ranges over familiar territory with a fresh eye, disclosing universal themes in the particularities of the Asian-American life of half a century ago.” —THE NEW YORK TIMES

“Mistakes to Run With is refreshingly brave, bold, and open. Rather than hiding behind a tidy story arc, Yasuko Thanh places value on all life experiences, good, bad, beautiful, scary, and sad.”
 —CLAIRE CAMERON, author of The Last Neanderthal

“Yasuko Thanh takes us on an unflinching and honest reflection on a life threaded with poverty, violence, rape, addiction and mental illness. I was profoundly moved….”
—CARRIANNE LEUNG, author of That Time I Loved You

“Written in the tradition of Alice Munro and Jhumpa Lahiri, Leung’s debut story collection marks the career of a writer to watch.”
 —starred KIRKUS review

“That Time I Loved You is heady, necessary writing from one of the most talented and socially engaged authors of our time.”
—DAVID CHARIANDY, author of Soucouyant and Brother

“[Robinson]…delivers a book which is at least as good as Son of a Trickster, and likely better.”— The Toronto Star
