Drawn from the celebrated column in \u003ci\u003eMaisonneuve \u003c\/i\u003emagazine, this anthology features writers documenting a quintessential part of local life. Narrated with the intimacy of journal entries, each letter bridges the playful and profound. In early dispatches, Melissa Bull ditches a boyfriend over pétanque in Parc Laurier; Sean Michaels watches Arcade Fire lose Battle of the Bands; Deborah Ostrovsky frets over the sublime sophistication of the Plateau's French children. More recently, Ziya Jones spends a summer herding sheep through Parc du Pélican; Eva Crocker performs in a \"fake orgasm choir\" at the Rialto Theatre; and André Picard takes a pause from the pandemic by running up Mount Royal. Edited by\u003ci\u003e Maisonneuve\u003c\/i\u003e editor in chief Madi Haslam, these letters buzz with a sense of possibility, surprise, and transformation. They remind us that a city can't quite be defined, that every person inside it interprets it anew. Together, they explore how we make meaning in the place we call home--how our surroundings shape us, and how we shape them in return.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Madi Haslam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1550656082\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781550656084\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vehicule Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/21\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.93h x 4.17w x 0.55d","brand":"Madi Haslam","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44071640563967,"sku":"9781550656084","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_256e22e8-5bc2-4c98-91dc-6d9d0a1756da.jpg?v=1685437298","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/letters-from-montreal-madi-haslam-9781550656084","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
