14 Days In July
"1 July 1789, Paris, two weeks before the Revolution. France is undergoing a political upheaval unlike anything it has known before. Louis XVI is using savage mercenary forces and food blockages to bring the people to heel. The country is a powder keg, and Paris is the fuse. In the midst of the bloody chaos, shadowy people--including the sinister and brutal chief of the Paris police--discover that a young Parisian laundress, Michaele Duvallier, is in possession of the proof of a deadly, ancient secret that could shake France's monarchy to its core. September 1654, Burgundy, 135 years before the Revolution. A good-natured young man, an orphan, is mysteriously imprisoned with grotesque instructions to conceal his identity in such as way as to ensure he is to be forgotten for all time"--Amazon.com.

Science Fiction from Quebec
This first book-length study of French-language science fiction from Canada provides an introduction to the subgenre known as "SFQ" (science fiction from Quebec). In addition, it offers in-depth analyses of SFQ sagas by Jacques Brossard, Esther Rochon, and Elisabeth Vonarburg. It demonstrates how these multivolume narratives of colonization and postcolonial societies exploit themes typical of postcolonial literatures, including the denunciation of oppressive colonial systems, the utopian hope for a better future, and the celebration of tolerant pluralistic societies. A bibliography of SFQ available in English translation is included.

The Dusty Bookcase
Largely drawn from his columns for Canadian Notes & Queries and entries in his popular blog by the same name, Brian Busby's The Dusty Bookcase explores the fascinating world of Canada's lesser-known literary efforts: works that suffered censorship, critical neglect, or brilliant yet fleeting notoriety. These rare and quirky totems of Canadiana, collected over the last three decades, form a travel diary of sorts—yet one without maps. Covering more than 250 books, peppered with observations on the writing and publishing scenes, Busby's work explores our cultural past, questioning why certain works are celebrated and others ignored. Brilliantly illustrated with covers and ephemera related to the titles discussed, The Dusty Bookcase draws much needed attention to unknown writing worthy of our attention, and some of our acclaim.
