"Conspiration autour d'une chanson d'amour" is Montreal author Émilie Andrewes' fourth novel published in French by local publishers XYZ. The first thing that seems relevant to say about this book is that it feels almost like a collection of everything. Because that is an inherently impossible fact, I will say that it is a meeting point and at times a collision point between genres, eras, tones and seasons.

Espaces is Olivia Tapiero's second novel. That simple sentence puts all of us writers to shame in that this author was born in 1990. She also won the Robert-Cliche Prize in 2009. I can't speak for anyone else but I know that when I was 20 years old, not only was I not publishing books and winning prizes, but I certainly wasn't writing anything this beautiful and deeply unsettling.

Come to the free launch of Rawi Hage's brand new novel, Carnival. There will be readings, music and refreshments beginning at 7:00 pm on October 10th at 5295 Avenue du Parc, the bar with no name.

"Variétés Delphi" is Nicolas Chalifour's second novel, published right here in our fair city. If you are French, bilingual, or just care to give reading in French a go (which is highly worth it), I urge you to delve into many of the dark stories published by the small, but extremely high-quality press, Héliotrope. They seem hell-bent on giving exposure to dark-humoured, sombre and engrossing emerging writers and this novel is no exception.

The Golden Hour literary cabaret stopped off at Montreal's Casa del Popolo on Monday for a night of everything you might expect from a cabaret. Except for drag queens. Nevertheless, this reading series meets live music meets whatever form of media you can think of had its deeply entertaining moments.
