Icefields: Landmark Edition
by Thomas Wharton
A new edition of an award-winning Western Canadian classic.

In 1898, Doctor Edward Byrne slips on the ice of the Arcturus glacier in the
Canadian Rockies and slides into a crevasse, wedged upside down nearly
sixty feet below the surface. As he fights losing consciousness, a stray beam
of sunlight illuminates the ice in front of him and Byrne sees something in the
blue-green radiance that will forever link him to the ancient glacier. In this
moment, his life’s purpose becomes uncovering the mystery of the icefield
that almost was his tomb. Along the way, he encounters similarly fixated
individuals, each immersed in their own quest: the healer and storyteller
Sara; the bohemian travel writer Freya Becker; the entrepreneur Trask; the
poet Hal Rowan; and Elspeth, greenhouse keeper and Byrne’s lover.
First published in 1995, Wharton’s Icefields is an astonishing historical novel set
in a mesmerizing literary landscape, one that is constantly being altered by
the surging and retreating glacier and unpredictable weather. Here—where                           Trade Paperback / October 15, 2021

The Cine Star Salon
by Leah Ranada
Sophia is pulled between the life she imagines, the life
her parents imagine, and what the world has in store for her.
Philippine-born Vancouverite Sophia is most grateful for two things: her
modest hair salon and Adrian, her mild-mannered fiancé. She is eager to get
married, move away from her highly educated but career-frustrated parents,
who believe that their daughter can be so much more than a beautician.
Then Sophia’s estranged friend reaches out from Manila, desperate for help.
After a dubious accident, her fiery Auntie Rosy is on the verge of losing the Cine
Star Salon—the place where Sophia first felt the call to become a hairstylist
and salon owner. Coming to her auntie’s aid is not so easy though. Sophia
worries helping might reopen old wounds and threaten the bright future she
has planned.
Leah Ranada’s debut novel is a graphic and engaging depiction of the
importance of women’s work and the loyalties that connect friends across

Last Tide
by Andy Zuliani

A debut novel that confronts the near future in microcosm.

Ana and Win find themselves stuck, lifting the weight of their pasts, while
frustrated by their present jobs: photographing vacant lots and decayed
industrial sites, cataloguing the decline of capitalist excess to digitally scrub
away humanity, making way for more gentrification.
When the pair is sent by their employers to a rustic island in the Pacific
Northwest—home to hippies, runaways, and survivalist preppers—they meet
Lena, an oceanographer and climate scientist, who has moved to the island
in search of “the big one,” the cataclysmic earthquake and tsunami that she
knows is the island and the West Coast’s due; and Kitt, an athleisure clothing
mogul, who is overseeing the construction of a vacation home that will serve
as his apocalypse-shelter.
These four people’s lives intertwine as a police investigation throws life on
                                                                                                 Trade Paperback / October 1, 2021

Tenure
by Kieran Egan

A fun blend of crime thriller and campus comedy.

Saved from certain death on the Whistler-Vancouver highway after his luxury
car malfunctions, Mark Morata feels honour-bound to reward his rescuer,
Geoff Pybus, with a token of his undying gratitude. Geoff, a frustratingly
humble university professor, happy with his family’s lot in life, only wants the
impossible: for his modest, straightforward wife to get tenure at her university.
Luckily, Mark is a man for whom impossible is just another word. As a
sophisticated importer-exporter of certain recreational substances (“drug
lord” is such a cliché), Mark gets to work on the academic world with the
same relentless nature that helped him climb to the top of the cartel. However,
the hallowed campus halls reveal an environment that is vicious and corrupt
beyond anything he has ever encountered in the drug business...
Kieran Egan’s Tenure is a wildly entertaining satire mash-up, where Don

rump + flank
by Carol Harvey Steski

A debut collection that delves into the ‘body’ from a feminist perspective.

Carol Harvey Steski’s tenacious and unapologetic debut, rump + flank,
explores the body in nature’s many incarnations: human, animal, plant,
microbe, even chemical. The result is a fantastical poetic work that sheds light
on what bodies—especially female ones—endure, probing the full range of
experiences from pleasure and hope to deep loss and trauma.
These poems are piercingly humorous, sexy, and peppered with startling
absurdities, but are grounded by an undercurrent of nostalgia (and a soupçon
of feminist rage): mercury reproduces like funhouse mirrors, oysters are whole
notes dropped into eternal song, cancer is a surly character taking and
discarding lovers, a domestic chore turns dark as a mother channels her inner
Lady Macbeth. Lush imagery melds with organic rhythms to spawn a visceral
experience, a tendon-and-muscle-driven engine that readers can feel racing
within their own bodies.                                                                         Trade Paperback / September 1, 2021

                  “This is a visceral, sometimes raw, book with hidden time bombs just beneath the surface.
                   Harvey Stelski’s voice is unique and superbly confident, speaking with a fluent urgency.
                                           It’s a book I’ve been anticipating for years. ”
