Book excerpt: “Those who like Joyce Carol Oates will love this” dark novel of psychological suspense by the author of Mind of Winter and The Life Before Her Eyes (Kirkus Reviews). A married motel receptionist in a bleak Michigan town, Leila Murray has slipped into the habit of trading sex with strangers for money. When she meets a drifter who alternately sweet-talks and physically abuses her, it might be the wakeup call that dissuades her from a life of prostitution. Instead, she allows him to become her pimp. In this chilling, “beautifully written page-turner” (Booklist), we follow Leila’s life as she spirals out of control—and learn the darkness in her past that drives her—in “an exploration of the legacy of abuse and violence [and] an amazing first novel” (The Boston Globe). “[An] extremely powerful debut . . . Profoundly disturbing but also resonant with hope and rebirth.” —Los Angeles Times

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first major study of Canadian women filmmakers since the groundbreaking Gendering the Nation (1999). The Gendered Screen updates the subject with discussions of important filmmakers such as Deepa Mehta, Anne Wheeler, Mina Shum, Lynne Stopkewich, Léa Pool, and Patricia Rozema, whose careers have produced major bodies of work. It also introduces critical studies of newer filmmakers such as Andrea Dorfman and Sylvia Hamilton and new media video artists. Feminist scholars are re-examining the ways in which authorship, nationality, and gender interconnect. Contributors to this volume emphasize a diverse feminist study of film that is open, inclusive, and self-critical. Issues of hybridity and transnationality as well as race and sexual orientation challenge older forms of discourse on national cinema. Essays address the transnational filmmaker, the queer filmmaker, the feminist filmmaker, the documentarist, and the video artist—just some of the diverse identities of Canadian women filmmakers working in both commercial and art cinema today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vancouver is now North America’s third largest center for film and television production, recently witnessing the filming of Halle Berry’s Catwoman and Will Smith’s I, Robot, among others. But Vancouver has been hosting filmmakers for years, coming into its own in the early 1970s when Robert Altman, Warren Beatty and Julie Christie made McCabe and Mrs. Miller and Mike Nichols, Jack Nicholson and Candice Bergen filmed Carnal Knowlege. Dreaming in the Rain tells the story of how Vancouver became North by Northwest, from its early days as a Hollywood studio backlot to its becoming home to a vibrant indigenous scene that is among the most acclaimed, provocative, independent filmmaking communities anywhere. But with Hollywood’s growing concern over “runaway” productions, Vancouver’s growing filmmaking scene is wrought with controversy. The city’s American-based film industry is powerful enough to inspire loathing and threats from Hollywood. Along with tracing the art and commerce of Vancouver filmmaking, Vancouver Province movie critic David Spaner brings to life the flamboyant film personalities who left their marks. From visitors like Errol Flynn and Robert Altman, to local heroes such as The Matrix’s Carrie Anne Moss, who grew up in Vancouver, and Kissed star Molly Parker and director Lynne Stopkewich, vital players in the groundbreaking Vancouver indie scene. Includes more than 40 black and white photographs. “. . . [Spaner] has . . . scrupulous attention to detail and an obvious curiosity and passion for both Vancouver and its film industry.”—Entertainment Today David Spaner is a movie critic for the Vancouver Province.

Funny, provocative, and enlightening, the filmmakers reflect on their careers and explore with the interviewers the issues that challenge them. This book features an interview with a late director (Jean-Claude Lauzon) whose work is recognized in the canon as outstanding; interviews with filmmakers who are accomplished in their fields and have to their credit a sizeable body of work (Blake Corbet, Andrew Currie, Brent Carlson, Guy Maddin, Lynne Stopkewich, Anne Wheeler, Gary Burns, and Mina Shum); and an interview with a young director new to the field (Michael Dowse). Together these players in the Canadian film scene capture the energy, success, and tribulations of a fascinating cultural industry. The Young, the Restless, and the Dead is the first volume in a series of interviews with key cultural creators in the field of cinema. It seeks to bring to a wide audience the insights and emotions, the trials and achievements of significant figures in Canadian film. George Melnyk talks about The Young, the Restless, and the Dead with Eric Volmers of the Calgary Herald. Read the interview online.

Book excerpt: La primera vez que tuve relaciones sexuales con un hombre por dinero, fue en septiembre. todavía hacía tiempo de verano, pero la calefacción estaba ya encendida en la habitación del motel y parecía llenar mi garganta de polvo. El hombre era muy soso, de ojos pequeños y no más alto que yo. Parecía asustado. Casi no me miraba. Cuando le pregunté qué quería que hiciese, me dijo: Es tu trabajo. Así empieza la fascinante e inolvidable primera novela de la poeta Laura Kasischke. La narradora y protagonista del relato es Leila Murray, una atractiva mujer de 24 años, casada, que trabaja como recepcionista del Swan Motel en Suspicious River, un pequeño y solitario pueblo de Michigan. All, siguiendo un impulso irresistible, se prostituye voluntaria y compulsivamente con los clientes por 60 dólares, el mismo precio que una habitación, en busca de algo que ella misma no sabe identificar, algo vago, blanco y brillante, que sólo será aclarado hacia el final de esta terrible, intensa y poderosa novela. Elocuente, llena de suspense, rica en imágenes... terrible. Kirkus Reviews Una profunda bajada a los infiernos. La mirada fría de Laura Kasischke le atrapó, al igual que la dureza de su universo poético. Jean-Luc Douin - Le Monde Al mismo tiempo aterrador y extremadamente expresivo, el libro es una exploración de carácter metafísico de la separación entre el cuerpo y el alma. New Yorker Realmente genial. Una obra maestra. Laurent Goumarre - Max Una novela cortada con navaja. Cromada, brillante, deslumbrante. Una lenta tortura. Duele, pero es sublime. È Valérie Broquisse - Le Figaro Madame Suspicious River es una novela despiadada. De ah nace toda la fuerza de este libro. Michel Polac - Charlie Hebdo Suspicious River atrapa con imágenes que nos sitúan en el estrecho límite que se abre entre pasión y destrucción. Un trabajo de belleza misteriosa, con imágenes inmediatas y vibrantes que obsesionarán al lector durante años. Seattle Times

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Le Swan Motel, de l'autre côté de la rue, était propre et frais - draps amidonnés, moquette beige, serviettes de toilette blanches et décentes que nous envoyions deux fois par semaine à Ottawa City, pour les faire laver, dans un camion plein de sacs-poubelles en plastique vert olive. Derrière le motel, la Suspicious River roulait ses flots noirs, mais l'eau semblait propre, et des cygnes se rassemblaient sur la pelouse du motel, comme un groupe de vieilles femmes riches et de vedettes de cinéma qui viendraient prendre le thé, et ils s'étiraient en couinant sur les rives boueuses du fleuve. " Et pourtant dans cette vie calme et tranquille du Michigan débutent ou resurgissent les histoires les plus angoissantes et les plus tragiques : l'auteur, poétesse connue, a, dans ce premier roman, imaginé un monde et un ton qui rappellent le grand Hopper et les meilleurs cinéastes américains actuels. Mais surtout elle fait du lecteur un voyeur fasciné, véritable héros de cette entreprise.

Book excerpt: Drafted in October 1968, John A. Nesser left behind his wife and young son to fight in the controversial Vietnam War. Like many in his generation, he was deeply at odds with himself over the U.S. involvement in Vietnam, instilled with a strong sense of duty to his country but uncertain about its mission and his role in it. Nesser was deployed to the Ashau Valley, site of some of the war’s heaviest fighting, and served eight months as an infantry rifleman before transferring to become a door gunner for a Chinook helicopter. In this stirring memoir, he recalls in detail the exhausting missions in the mountainous jungle, the terror of walking into an ambush, the dull-edged anxiety that filled quiet days, and the steady fear of being shot out of the sky. The accounts are richly illustrated with Nesser’s own photographs of the military firebases and aircraft, the landscapes, and the people he encountered.
