      By David, Michel, 1944-
       2007., Hurtubise HMH Call No: FR Fic Dav    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Series Title: Amours interdites   Volume: tome IIISummary Note: Le printemps 1967 s'annonce et avec lui souffle un vent nouveau qui fera virevolter le destin de plusieurs des habitants de Saint-Jacques-de-la-Rive. L'heure est au bouleversement des mœurs et des valeurs. Ce que l'on nommera plus tard la Révolution tranquille s'est bel et bien installée, malgré les répliques acerbes du curé Savard, à qui Étienne Fournier et les autres membres de la fabrique répondront sur le même ton. Le maire, Côme Crevier, ne sera pas en reste, incarnant dorénavant l'autorité dans son village. Alors que tous les regards sont fixés sur Montréal et son exposition universelle, les jeunes adultes des familles Veilleux, Fournier, Hamel et Tremblay sont appelés à faire des choix. Bataille de coq, déception amoureuse, emplois prometteurs, grossesse honteuse, promesse de mariage, émancipation, perte d'enfant, tous sont emportés par le tourbillon de la vie. Nostalgiques devant tous ces changements, la génération de leurs parents se réfugie dans les souvenirs. Étrangement, la relation chaotique qu'entretiennent Bertrand Tremblay et d'André Veilleux leur rappelle celle, aussi houleuse, de leurs grands-pères Eugène et Ernest.

      By Wagg, Susan W
       2013., McGill-Queen's University Press Call No: SC 720.92 T238w    Availability:2 of 2     At Your Library Summary Note: By the year 1900, architect Andrew Taylor had designed Bank of Montreal branches across the continent and much of McGill University, helped found the McGill School of Architecture, and played a critical role in creating the first professional organization for Quebec architects. In The Architecture of Andrew Thomas Taylor, Susan Wagg presents a groundbreaking study of the life and work of a major figure in nineteenth-century Canadian architecture.Born in Edinburgh and trained in Scotland and England, Taylor spent two decades in Canada between 1883 and 1904, designing some of Montreal's most iconic landmarks. Wagg places his career amidst the wealth of opportunities provided by Canada's high society and captains of industry. Taylor's Canadian relatives, Montreal's powerful Redpath family, brought him into contact with the small group of financiers and entrepreneurs who controlled Canada's destiny. With the support of such influential patrons as Sir William Macdonald and the Bank of Montreal, Taylor successfully confronted dramatic changes in building technology as iron and steel were increasingly used and buildings grew ever taller. He innovatively adapted English and American styles to the Canadian environment, designing structures distinctively suited to their place in history.Positioning Taylor's extensive designs within the context of his time, The Architecture of Andrew Thomas Taylor firmly establishes his work as a cornerstone of Canadian architecture.

      By Wren, Jacob
       2018., BookThug Call No: QWF 700.92 W945a    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: Authenticity is a Feeling: My Life in PME-ART is a compelling hybrid of history, memoir, and performance theory. It tells the story of the interdisciplinary performance group PME-ART and their ongoing endeavour to make a new kind of highly collaborative theatre dedicated to the fragile but essential act of "being yourself in a performance situation." Written, among other things, to celebrate PME-ART's twentieth anniversary, the book begins when Jacob Wren meets Sylvie Lachance and Richard Ducharme, moves from Toronto to Montreal to make just one project, but instead ends up spending the next twenty years creating an eccentric, often bilingual, art. It is a book about being unable to learn French yet nonetheless remaining co-artistic director of a French-speaking performance group, about the Spinal Tap-like adventures of being continuously on tour, about the rewards and difficulties of intensive collaborations, about making performances that break the mold and confronting the repercussions of doing so. A book that aims to change the rules for how interdisciplinary performance can be written about today.
