Its residents deal with pollution\, poverty\, and the legacy of racism—and strange and magical things are happening: children rule over their own kingdom in the trees and burned houses regenerate themselves. When Gloria arrives looking for answers and her missing granddaughters\, at first she finds only a hungry mouse in the derelict home where her daughter was murdered. But the neighbours take pity on her and she turns to their resilience and impressive gardens for sustenance. \nWhen a strange intuition sends Gloria into the woods of Parc Rouge\, where the city’s orphaned and abandoned children are rumored to have created their own society\, she can’t imagine the strength she will find. A richly imagined story of community and a plea for persistence in the face of our uncertain future\, The Future is a lyrical testament to the power we hold to protect the people and places we love—together. \nABOUT CATHERINE LEROUX \nCatherine Leroux is a Quebec novelist\, translator and editor born in 1979. Her novel Le mur mitoyen won the France-Quebec Prize and its English version\, The Party Wall\, was nominated for the 2016 Scotiabank Giller Prize. The Future won CBC’s Canada Reads 2024\, received the Jacques-Brossard award for speculative fiction and was nominated for the Quebec Booksellers Prize. Catherine also won the 2019 Governor General’s Literary Award for her translation of Do Not Say We Have Nothing by Madeleine Thien. Two of her novels are currently being adapted for the screen. Her latest book\, Peuple de verre\, a speculative novel about the housing crisis\, came out in April 2024. She lives in Montreal with her two children.

SUMMARY:The Notebook: Windsor Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Biblioasis Bookshop for the North American launch of Roland Allen‘s The Notebook (Sep 3\, 2024)! Roland Allen will be appearing and reading from his new book on the history of the notebook\, followed by a discussion and audience Q&A.

But where did these indispensable implements come from? How did they revolutionize our lives? And how can using a notebook help change the way you think? In this wide-ranging history\, Roland Allen reveals how the notebook became our most dependable and versatile tool for creative thinking. He tells the notebook stories of Leonardo and Frida Kahlo\, Isaac Newton and Marie Curie\, and writers from Chaucer to Henry James; shows how Darwin developed his theory of evolution in tiny pocket books and Agatha Christie plotted a hundred murders in scrappy exercise books; and introduces a host of cooks\, kings\, sailors\, fishermen\, musicians\, engineers\, politicians\, adventurers\, and mathematicians\, all of whom used their notebooks as a space to think—and in doing so\, shaped the modern world. \nIn an age of AI and digital overload\, the humble notebook is more relevant than ever. Allen shows how bullet points can combat ADHD\, journals can ease PTSD\, and patient diaries soften the trauma of reawakening from coma. The everyday act of moving a pen across paper\, he finds\, can have profound consequences\, changing the way we think and feel: making us more creative\, more productive—and maybe even happier. \nABOUT ROLAND ALLEN \nRoland Allen lives in Brighton. He studied at Manchester University and works in book (and notebook) publishing. He has written books on bicycles and bread\, has kept a diary for decades\, and enjoys stationery a little too much.
