Finalist, Dayne Ogilvie Prize for LGBTQ2S+ Emerging Writers (Writers' Trust of Canada). A beautifully imagined story collection set largely in Nigeria that explores themes of masculinity and repressed desires through the lens of (un)conditional love. In this stunning debut story collection set largely in Nigeria, questions abound: What happens when we fall short of society's—and our own—expectations? When our personal desires conflict with the duties we are bound to? The characters in Perfect Little Angels confront these dilemmas and more in these brilliantly imagined tales.

With dreamlike stories and dark humor, Anecdotes is a hybrid collection in four parts examining the pressing realities of sexual violence, abuse, and environmental collapse. Absurdist flash fictions in "The Boy is Dead" depict characters such as a park that hates hippies, squirrels, and unhappy parents; a woman lamenting a stolen laptop the day the world ends; and birds slamming into glass buildings.

In Close to Spider Man—which won a Danuta Gleed Literary Award—readers were introduced to the crystalline storytelling voice of Ivan Coyote. The talent evident in that first collection is confirmed with One Man's Trash, a series of connected stories about being queer, searching out new frontiers, and being on the road. The characters in One Man's Trash make evident the child in all of us, when heroes and superheroes won the day.

Lesbian storyteller Ivan E. Coyote's first book for queer youth includes brand new stories and others culled from previous collections, inspired by the tragic increase in the number of teen suicides resulting from bullying.

This publication meets the EPUB Accessibility requirements and also meets the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG-AA).

Ivan E. Coyote is a master storyteller; her beautiful, funny stories about growing up a lesbian butch in the Canadian North attract audiences both gay and straight. In her fifth collection, Ivan addresses issues of family, queer youth, and homophobia with a trenchant and wistful eye.

Beloved author Wayne Johnston returns to the territory of his #1 national bestseller The Colony of Unrequited Dreams with this sweeping tale of ambition, remorse and hope. A World Elsewhere has all the hallmarks of Wayne Johnston's most beloved and acclaimed novels: outsiders yearning for acceptance, dreams that threaten to overpower their makers, and unlikely romance. It is an astounding work of literature that questions the loyalties of friends, family and the heart. At the centre of this story is a mystery: the suspected murder of a child. This sweeping tale immerses us in St.

Ivan E. Coyote has developed a reputation as one of North America's most disarming storytellers; their tales of life as a queer person on the roads and trails of the North as well as rural America are rich in their plainspoken, honest truths. In Loose End, their third story collection, Ivan focuses their attention on the city—urban life, specifically in the East End of Vancouver, a diverse neighborhood of all types—old, young, gay, straight, white, Black, Asian—communing at local coffee bars over hot rods, the art of skinny-dipping, and changes in the weather.

Lisbonne, 1904. Frappé par le deuil, Tomas décide de tourner le dos au monde - littéralement : il ne marche plus qu'à reculons.

Home Waltz follows the boys over thirty-six hours on what should be one of the best weekends of their lives.

Ce matin, je me suis réveillée à Québec à côté de l’homme que j’aime depuis quatre ans. Puis je me suis fait plaquer. Me voilà donc célibataire depuis trois heures et cent quatre-vingts kilomètres ! Avec moi, je n’ai que deux valises et un gros trou dans mon CV, me rappelant mes mauvais choix de vie. Lâcher sa job pour être une gentille femme à la maison et préparer des petits plats pour son amoureux étudiant en médecine, quelle formidable idée ! Pffff...
