Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Series Title: Literature in translation seriesSummary Note: "Inspired by Erik Satie's work of the same name, Sports and Pastimes is the latest novel by acclaimed Montreal playwright and author Jean-Philippe Baril Guérard. Translated by Aimee Wall, whose translation of Vickie Gendreau's Testament drew critical attention, this fast-paced story follows the daily life, at once empty and overloaded, of a group of friends who spend all their energy trying to distract themselves with huge hits of endorphins, art and various substances, navigating pleasure and boredom, the extraordinary and the banal, as (more or less) worthy representatives of the best and worst of what their era has to offer. Consider a mashup of Girls and Less Than Zero and you are pretty close to the fun and games of Sports and Pastimes."--.

By Price, Rosie2019., Hamish Hamilton Canada Call No: Fic Pri Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: When Kate Quaile meets Max Rippon in the first week of university, so begins a life-changing friendship. Over the next four years, the two become inseparable. For him, she breaks her solitude; for her, he leaves his busy circles behind. But knowing Max means knowing his family: the wealthy Rippons, all generosity, social ease, and quiet repression. Theirs is a very different world from Kate's own upbringing, and yet she soon finds herself drawn into their gilded lives and the secrets that lie beneath. Until one evening, at a summer party at the Rippon's home just after graduation, her life is shattered in a bedroom while the music plays on downstairs. What Red Was is an incisive and mesmerizing novel about power, privilege, and consent - one that fearlessly examines the effects of trauma on the mind and body of a young woman, the tyrannies of memory, the sacrifices involved in staying silent, and the courage in speaking out. And when Kate does, it raises this urgent question: Whose story is it now?
