Montreal Cultural Calendar

Join us in store for the launch of Natalie Southworth's short story collection, There's Always More to Say. The author will be joined for a Q&A with Paige Cooper, author of Zolitude. In the title story, sisters sneak out of their unstable mother's apartment to find "reality," an experience with lasting repercussions. Southworth concentrates on moments of disconnection, family fragility and unexpected expressions of love. The stories focus on characters struggling to achieve what they think they should want despite the demands and loneliness of modern life. Infused with humour and verve, yet full of warmth, Southworth interrogates the quest for more and what it means when ambition clashes with private reality. Masks are not required, but will be provided for free at the door. For elevator access to the store, please contact us at least a day in advance.
