Bøger om Montreal

Fire nye eventyr venter Parker ”Dream Maker” Ellis i 2. bind af Audrey Carlans hotte og vanedannende serie. I San Francisco har en magtfuld, men ensom forretningskvinde brug for hjælp til at finde ægte kærlighed, og i Montreal er en smuk, blond direktør for en af byens førende techvirksomheder udsat for spionage. I London er en bestsellerforfatter løbet tør for inspiration, og i Berlin mangler et bilfirma hjælp til en avanceret reklamekampagne. Undervejs oplever Parker og hans to venner endnu en gang, hvor galt det kan gå, når man blander følelser og forretning – og særligt Parkers forhold til Skyler bliver sat på en hård prøve. DREAM MAKER er en serie i 12 afsnit, som alle er opkaldt efter en af verdens metropoler. Hver måned rykker Parker Ellis videre til en ny by og en ny klient, og denne bog samler San Francisco, Montreal, London og Berlin.

Der går et gys gennem Three Pines, da en kutteklædt skikkelse viser sig på fælleden en kold og våd novemberaften, og da skikkelsen endelig forsvinder, er lettelsen for beboerne kortvarig, for i den gamle jordkælder under kirken finder man et lig. Det bliver atter en gang op til kriminalinspektør Armand Gamache at finde sandheden bag den mystiske skikkelse. Nogle måneder senere befinder Gamache sig i en retssal for at komme til bunds i mysteriet, der viser sig at trække tråde tilbage til middelalderens Spanien, over finanskrisen i 2008 og frem til opioidkrisen i Nordamerika. I den glohede retssal tvinges han til at konfrontere sig selv. Kunne han have gjort mere? Har han gjort det rigtige? Og hvordan vil han blive dømt i den højeste ret?

"High Friends in Low Places features in lurid detail Alan Lord's epic romp through the riotous avant-underground scene of Montreal, New York, and Europe in the 1980s, a romp that eventually leads to a nervous meltdown. Along the way, he relates his encounters with the luminaries of cutting-edge literature, music and art including William Burroughs, Kathy Acker, Chris Kraus, John Giorno, Manu Chao, Blixa Bargeld, Chris Burden and pop artist James Rosenquist, as well as introducing us to brilliantly creative unknowns in all the arts. In the end, exhausted, he begins a downward spiral--only to be rescued by a woman who becomes his wife of 33 plus years."--

2022 Governor General's Literary Award Shortlist * 2022 A.M. Klein Prize for Poetry Finalist A brilliant poetic debut about gender-based violence that dismantles received definitions of both gender and violence, Horrible Dance is an accomplished addition to transfeminist thought and theory. By turns darkly comic, emotionally connected, playful, incisive, lyrical and irreverent, Lake's poems navigate a harrowing personal and political terrain with understated, expansive wisdom. Lake persistently returns us to the search for love that lies at the core of relational trauma, even as she shows us how catastrophically such a search can be derailed. This is a rare text able to hold the full velocity of a survivor's hurt and rage alongside a clear-eyed understanding of the extent and complexity of harm. In their honest accounting of a wide array of bad encounters, these poems point us, again, toward compassion, tenderness, and solidarity. can you forgive mefor how you hurt me so bad - "On Shame"
