Of catalogue decisions and award nominations

In preparing this season’s catalogue, the staff at Cormorant Books came up against aninteresting problem: the expression “lead with your best foot.” How were we to do thiswhen we have Carol Bruneau, Christiane Frenette, Sheila Fischman, Elspeth Cameron,Jacques Poulin, and Eric Wright in our Fall 2007 line-up? Among these equals, there isno “first.” Grouped together, their work represents an embarrassment of nominations,awards, and prizes. They have each earned the respect of their peers, librarians, book-sellers, and – most important to all of us – readers. Cormorant is indeed fortunate tohave writers and a translator of such accomplishment return to us, or publish with usfor the first time. As publisher and their editor, it’s an honour to work with writers ofthis calibre.

But this interesting problem happens to Cormorant almost every season. It’s a problemwe’re actually happy to confront twice a year.

Backing up this impressive autumn season’s list are the authors of spring, some of whomhave already started to make an impressive mark with their debut works of fiction: BruceMacDonald’s starred review in Quill & Quire for his exceptional first novel, Coureurs deBois. Not to be outdone, Zoe Whittall’s first novel, Bottle Rocket Hearts, has received posi-tive reviews in the Toronto Star, NOW Magazine, and The Sun Times of Owen Sound. TheEmpress Letters, the first novel in a projected trilogy by Linda Rogers, and Queen’s Court,by Edward O. Phillips, are examples of established writers at the top of their craft.

And, finally, backing up the spring season’s list are the Cormorant titles that are distin-guished by the nominations, awards, and prizes they have garnered. These twenty-ninetitles represent many of the 100+ award nominations and 70+ wins which have accruedto the Cormorant list through the talents of our diverse writers.

There are many book awards in our country and each of them plays an important rolein promoting a particular kind of writing (the Scotiabank Giller for fiction, the CharlesTaylor Prize for literary non-fiction, the Griffin for poetry) or a specific region, frequentlyin memory of writers associated with that region (the Thomas H. Raddall AtlanticFiction Prize, the Hugh MacLennan Fiction Prize of the Quebec Writers Federation,the Ethel Wilson Prize of the BC Book Prizes) or a specific moment in a writer’s career(the Amazon.ca/Books in Canada First Novel Award, the Danuta Gleed Award for a firstbook of short stories, the Matt Cohen, Marian Engel, and Timothy Findley awards).Choosing nominees for these awards from among the many excellent books publishedevery year must be as difficult as picking the lead title for a Cormorant catalogue.

At Cormorant, we’re dedicated to building a national literature; that cultural activitymeans finding new voices, maintaining established voices, and ensuring that importantvoices from our literary past aren’t lost. We believe that this catalogue represents theresults of seventeen years of this work.

All but forgotten, Frances Loring and Flo-rence Wyle were major forces in establish-

ing Canadian sculpture and the style ofCanadian national monuments. Frances andFlorence met in 1906 at the Chicago Art Insti-tute, where Florence was a teacher and Francesa student. Immediately forming a connectionthat would endure the rest of their lives, theymoved together in 1910 to a studio in bohemianGreenwich Village, before relocating to the moreconservative city of Toronto. Removed from theModernist movement that began to sweep theUnited States soon after their departure, Francesand Florence took up residence in a convertedchurch where they entertained such prominentCanadian artists as Emmanuel Hahn, ElizabethWyn Wood, and Group of Seven member A.Y.Jackson. And Beauty Answers by ElspethCameron reexamines the Girls’ careers, fromtheir early days struggling to be recognized in aman’s profession, to their final days in separaterooms of a nursing home. Whatever the fullextent of their relationship, the Girls continue tobe defined as much by the bond they shared asby the works they created. And Beauty Answersexplores a partnership that helped shape thelandscape of Canadian art.

ELSPETH CAMERON is the author of threeaward-winning biographies: Hugh MacLennan:A Writer’s Life (1981), Irving Layton: A Portrait(1985), and Earle Birney: A Life (1994).

Amazon.ca/Books in Canada First Novel Award 2002, nominee

Globe and Mail Top 100 of 2006, selection

“The novel expresses Poulin’s talents for crisp, quirky dialogue, scene-sketching and irresistible pacing. His book is full of incidental pleasures,odd characters, bizarre incidents, moments of poetry — some of themvery comic — that spring as much from the author’s own generosity ofspirit as from the richness of things. This is a splendid book.”—The Toronto Star

“Like Milan Kundera, Poulin navigates between gravity and lightness,brute force and weakness, history and myth.” —The Gazette (Montreal)
