A Song for Wildcats by Caitlin Galway
Each of the five stories in this collection stretch the boundaries of contemporary literary fiction and in doing so establish Galway’s unique voice and style.
Jeff Dupuis
When Genocide Wasn’t News, edited by Martin Lukacs, Dania Majid and Jason Toney
In the almost 40 years since Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky published Manufacturing Consent, the media landscape has undergone some severe changes, mostly due to the internet and our reliance on it as a source of news.
The Fun Times Brigade by Lindsay Zier-Vogel
The Fun Times Brigade is a novel that strikes every emotional note, with a crisp prose style that works its way deep into the reader’s heart and soul.
Lake Burntshore by Aaron Kreuter
Lake Burntshore is a coming-of-age, summer camp story that explores not only teens deciding what kind of adults they’d like to be, but young Jews discovering for themselves as individuals, what it means to be Jewish.
The Northern by Jacob McArthur Mooney
The Northern, which in a sense is a bildungsroman, serves also as an examination of contemporary masculinity.
Skin by Catherine Bush
The stories in Skin range from epistolary to experimental, some set in the past, some in the present, providing a showcase for Bush’s talents.
Who By Water by Greg Rhyno
The book takes place three years after Who By Fire, and we see Dame adjusting to motherhood, balancing it with her work and with tending to her father, Dodge, the famous athlete and detective now coping with aphasia.
White World by Saad T. Farooqi
Farooqi takes us to a post-apocalyptic Pakistan, where a war is waging, democracy has fallen away and a brutal military dictatorship pushes an ethno-nationalist agenda.
Einstein on Israel and Zionism
Einstein on Israel and Zionism proves to be an important counteragent to the politically-motivated, overly-simplistic and, often, racially-motivated messaging we hear from prominent figures in Western media.
Bronco Buster by A.J. Devlin
Canadian detective fiction is a genre that punches well above its weight
Rubble Children by Aaron Kreuter
Rubble Children is an important book given the current climate, it’s Kreuter’s characterization and storytelling abilities that make it a must-read.
McCurdle’s Arm by Andrew Forbes
McCurdle’s Arm by Andrew Forbes is a welcomed addition to a strong and robust baseball literary tradition
Who By Fire by Greg Rhyno
The subtitle of Who By Fire, “A Dame Polara Mystery,” might conjure in the reader’s mind a dowager member of the aristocracy solving crimes in a cozy manner across the English countryside, circa 1920. The hero of Greg Rhyno’s new novel is nothing like that, and the story is definitely not cozy.
