› Find signed collectible books: 'Digging Up the Mountains'
In the grim stories of Neil Bissoondath's Digging Up the Mountains, the personal is political and the political is usually explosive. Raised in Trinidad, Bissoondath has lived his adult life in Canada, and these two places are the poles between which most of his fiction shuttles, including the novels A Casual Brutality and The Worlds Within Her. What's most impressive about this early collection is the range of experiences and voices it explores: its protagonists include a Japanese girl, a European doctor wrenched by war from his family, a Canadian student backpacking abroad, a beauty-pageant contestant, and a white woman teaching boys at an island school.
The title story, which in 20 pages suggests the scope and complexity of a novel, depicts a successful Caribbean businessman fleeing a state of emergency on his island as his friends die mysteriously and the policemen investigating a crime turn out to be the thugs who committed it. "There Are a Lot of Ways to Die" traces a reverse journey: Joseph returns, idealistically, to help his island economy after making good in Canada, but is accused of exploitation and sees his illusions shattered, one by one. "You couldn't claim the island," he discovers, "It claimed you." The three weakest pieces are satiric sketches of Caribbean immigrants to Toronto that too easily load the deck against their characters; here Bissoondath mimics the controversial dismissals of Third World peoples for which his uncle, V.S. Naipaul, is famous. But at his best, Bissoondath offers searingly powerful and original stories of lives circumscribed by violence, injustice, and fear. --John C. Ball [via]

It was crazy. It was unthinkable. It was the adventure of a lifetime.
When Don and Dana Starkell left Winnipeg in a tiny three-seater canoe, they had no idea of the dangers that lay ahead. Two years and 12,180 miles later, father and son had each paddled nearly twenty million strokes, slept on beaches, in jungles and fields, dined on tapir, shark, and heaps of roasted ants.
They encountered piranhas, wild pigs, and hungry alligators. They were arrested, shot at, taken for spies and drug smugglers, and set upon by pirates. They had lived through terrifying hurricanes, food poisoning, and near starvation. And at the same time they had set a record for a thrilling, unforgettable voyage of discovery and old-fashioned adventure.

› Find signed collectible books: 'To Kill a Mockingbird'
"When he was nearly thirteen, my brother Jem got his arm badly broken at the elbow.... When enough years had gone by to enable us to look back on them, we sometimes discussed the events leading to his accident. I maintain that the Ewells started it all, but Jem, who was four years my senior, said it started long before that. He said it began the summer Dill came to us, when Dill first gave us the idea of making Boo Radley come out."
Set in the small Southern town of Maycomb, Alabama, during the Depression, To Kill a Mockingbird follows three years in the life of 8-year-old Scout Finch, her brother, Jem, and their father, Atticus--three years punctuated by the arrest and eventual trial of a young black man accused of raping a white woman. Though her story explores big themes, Harper Lee chooses to tell it through the eyes of a child. The result is a tough and tender novel of race, class, justice, and the pain of growing up.
Like the slow-moving occupants of her fictional town, Lee takes her time getting to the heart of her tale; we first meet the Finches the summer before Scout's first year at school. She, her brother, and Dill Harris, a boy who spends the summers with his aunt in Maycomb, while away the hours reenacting scenes from Dracula and plotting ways to get a peek at the town bogeyman, Boo Radley. At first the circumstances surrounding the alleged rape of Mayella Ewell, the daughter of a drunk and violent white farmer, barely penetrate the children's consciousness. Then Atticus is called on to defend the accused, Tom Robinson, and soon Scout and Jem find themselves caught up in events beyond their understanding. During the trial, the town exhibits its ugly side, but Lee offers plenty of counterbalance as well--in the struggle of an elderly woman to overcome her morphine habit before she dies; in the heroism of Atticus Finch, standing up for what he knows is right; and finally in Scout's hard-won understanding that most people are essentially kind "when you really see them." By turns funny, wise, and heartbreaking, To Kill a Mockingbird is one classic that continues to speak to new generations, and deserves to be reread often. --Alix Wilber [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Travelling Mercies'
The signifiers that Jamaica's Lorna Goodison is indeed a poet ain't just in her extensive contributions to highbrow anthologies, the gushing critical acclaim, or her harvests of awards, including a 1986 Commonwealth Poetry Prize for I Am Becoming My Mother and Jamaica's prestigious Gold Musgrave Medal in 1999. Goodison, a university teacher and a painter and illustrator of some repute, with internationally recognized film projects in tow, is a poet because her poetry still sings and rants to the people--yes, all people--about oppression and resistance, recovery and redemption, joy and humiliation.
Her seventh volume of poetry, Travelling Mercies, really gets around. African-Caribbean vernacular abounds, harmonious alongside doses of biblical strictures and snippets of European tenets. These not-so-tender mercies whip from Jamaica to Jerusalem, Cuba to Kentucky, Benin to Berlin, and, of course, to Babylon, invoking spectres of Christ and Rasta elders, slave ship hulls, and sacred Native rites. Luxuriant yet scholarly, the writing transcends economic, mental, and tribal borders. The poems instill a sense of timelessness in an almost dreamlike literary trek that's strangely wrought with jarring wakeup calls. The earthly realm is just another conjured pit stop alongside the quirky portraits of the great beyond in her landscapes inhabited by revered saints and righteous duppy conquerors. --Sigcino Moyo [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Wacousta: Three Volumes Combined'
Set in the 1760s at the time of Pontiacs Indian alliance against the British, Wacousta combines elements of revenge tragedy and gothic romance in reconstructing a violent episode in Canadian frontier history. In Major John Richardsons vivid depiction, Pontiacs campaign against Fort Detroit is masterminded by the mysterious Wacousta, a Byronic anti-hero whose thirst for vengeance against the fortress commander borders on madness. Turning upon binary oppositions garrison against wilderness, restraint against passion, mercy against justice this suspenseful novel creates a world of deception and terror in which motive is ambiguous and the boundary between order and anarchy unclear.
First published in 1832, Wacousta anticipated many of the themes that would assume central importance in the Canadian narrative imagination. The New Canadian Library edition is an unabridged reprint of the complete original text. [via]
