Making Love with the Land
#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER The boundary- and genre-bending non-fiction collection from the Giller-longlisted, GG-shortlisted and Canada Reads– winning author of Jonny Appleseed. “The land and its elements are my aunties calling me home, into that centre point which is a nowhere, by which I mean a place that English has no words for, is an everywhere, is a bingo hall, is a fourth plane, is an ocean.” Making Love with the Land is a startling, challenging, uncompromising look at what it means to live as an Indigenous person “in the rupture” between identities. In these ten unique, heart-piercing non-fiction pieces, award-winning writer Joshua Whitehead illuminates the complex moment we’re living through now, in which Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples are navigating new and old ideas about “the land.” He asks: What is our relationship and responsibility towards it? And how has the land shaped ideas, histories, words, our very bodies? Intellectually thrilling and emotionally captivating, this book is a love song for the world—and for the library of stories to be found where body meets land, waiting to be unearthed and summoned into word.

The Observer
Winner of the Saskatchewan Book of the Year Award and City of Saskatoon Book Award • A spare and powerful new novel from the award-winning author of Good to a Fault and The Little Shadows. “Powerful and impressive.” —Toronto Star “A gripping novel . . . typical of [Endicott’s] fluent mastery.” —Winnipeg Free Press When Julia arrives in Medway, accompanying her beloved Hardy on his first posting as an RCMP constable, she tries to explain her new life to old friends from the city but can find no shared vocabulary to convey this rural reality, let alone police life. As Hardy disappears into long days at work, Julia takes a job as editor of the local newspaper, the Observer. While she chronicles the surface joys and sorrows of their new community, Hardy is immersed in violence and loss, and Julia can only witness his increasing exhaustion. Though this new life together begins as an adventure, time conspires to darken and deepen it. Grounded in Marina Endicott’s own experience in Mayerthorpe, Alberta, The Observer is an essential story about the fragility of life and law in a tightknit community, from one of our most beloved storytellers.
