SUMMARY:Baldwin\, Styron\, and Me: AfterWords Spring Foreword
DESCRIPTION:Mélikah Abdelmoumen\, author of Baldwin\, Styron\, and Me (trans. Catherine Khordoc)\, will be a part of the AfterWords Spring Foreword event! Mélikah will be in conversation with Vinh Nguyen and host Fazeela Jiwa. Books will be available courtesy of King’s Co-op Books. \nThe event will take place at Park Place Theatre on Saturday\, April 26 at 6PM. \nMore details here. \nGrab Baldwin\, Styron\, and Me here! \nABOUT BALDWIN\, STYRON\, AND ME \nAn unlikely literary friendship from the past sheds light on the radicalization of public debate around identity\, race\, and censorship. \nIn 1961\, James Baldwin spent several months in William Styron’s guest house. The two wrote during the day\, then spent evenings confiding in each other and talking about race in America. During one of those conversations\, Baldwin is said to have convinced his friend to write\, in first person\, the story of the 1831 slave rebellion led by Nat Turner. The Confessions of Nat Turner was published to critical acclaim\, winning the Pulitzer Prize in 1968\, and also creating outrage in part of the African American community. \nDecades later\, the controversy around cultural appropriation\, identity\, and the rights and responsibilities of the writer still resonates. In Baldwin\, Styron\, and Me\, Mélikah Abdelmoumen considers the writers’ surprising yet vital friendship from her standpoint as a racialized woman torn by the often unidimensional versions of her identity put forth by today’s politics and media. Considering questions of identity\, race\, equity\, and the often contentious public debates about these topics\, Abdelmoumen works to create a space where the answers are found by first learning how to listen—even in disagreement. \nABOUT MÉLIKAH ABDELMOUMEN \nMélikah Abdelmoumen was born in Chicoutimi in 1972. She lived in Lyon\, France\, from 2005 to 2017. She holds a PhD in literary studies from the Université de Montréal and has published many articles\, short stories\, novels\, and essays\, including Les désastrées (2013)\, Douze ans en France (2018)\, and Petite-Ville (2024). She worked as an editor with the Groupe Ville-Marie Littérature in Montreal until 2021. She was the editor-in-chief of Lettres québécoises\, a Québec literary magazine\, from 2021 to 2024. Baldwin\, Styron\, and Me is her tenth book (and the first to be translated).

SUMMARY:Lisa Alward at the Frye Festival
DESCRIPTION:Come on out to this year’s Frye Festival\, where Lisa Alward\, author of Cocktail\, will be doing a Flash Frye reading of the collection for the panel ‘Who Do You Think You Are?’ The panel\, which features books that wrestle with bodily autonomy and the impossible expectations that come with being a woman\, will be moderated by Alisa Arsenault and features a discussion between Shashi Bhat and Siobhan Gallagher. \nThe event will take place at the Aberdeen Cultural Centre on Sunday\, April 27 at 1PM. \nTickets and more details here. \nGrab Cocktail here! \nABOUT COCKTAIL \nWinner of the 2023 Danuta Gleed Literary Award • Longlisted for the 2024 Carol Shields Prize for Fiction • Winner of the New Brunswick 2023 Mrs. Dunster’s Award for Fiction • One of the Globe and Mail’s “Sixty-Two Books to Read This Fall” • Listed in CBC Books Fiction to Read in Fall 2023 • A Miramichi Reader Best Book of 2023 • A Tyee Best Book of 2023 \nA girl receives a bedtime visit from a drunken party guest\, who will haunt her fantasies for years. A young mother discovers underneath the wallpaper a striking portrait that awakens inconvenient desires. A divorced man distracts himself from the mess he’s made by flirting with a stranger. These intimate\, immersive stories explore life’s watershed moments\, in which seemingly insignificant details—a pot of hyacinths\, a freshly painted yellow wall—and the most chance of encounters come to exert a tidal pull. Set in the swinging sixties and each decade since\, Cocktail reveals the schism between the lives we build up around us and our deepest hidden selves. \nABOUT LISA ALWARD \nLisa Alward’s short fiction has appeared in The Journey Prize and twice in Best Canadian Stories. She has won the Fiddlehead Prize as well as the Peter Hinchcliffe Fiction Award\, has been a finalist for The Malahat Review’s Open Season Award\, an honourable mention in the Peter Hinchcliffe Award\, and been featured on numerous other long lists\, including for the CBC Story Prize and Prism International’s Jacob Zilber Prize (three times). She was born and grew up in Halifax and completed an English degree at the University of Toronto and an MA at Queen Mary College in London\, England. In the eighties and early nineties\, she worked in book publishing in Toronto\, before moving with her young family to Vancouver and ultimately to Fredericton\, New Brunswick\, where at fifty she began to write stories. Cocktail (Biblioasis)\, which received a starred review in Kirkus Reviews\, is her debut collection.
