Issue 106: The Montreal Issue
In this special issue of TNQ, guest editor Katia Grubisic takes us on a whirlwind tour of the fascinating city in which she lives through literary and multidisplinary works in just two of the many languages spoken in her neighborhood, French and English. How does here, pace Frye, define us? she asks, and answers: "...this is a town where you hop in and the taxi driver asks ¿donde?, where the Mile End hums Greekly with hours of important soccer commentary, where I have had a conversation about rainbows with my octagenarian Italian neighbour. We don't speak the same languages, ma guardi, quanti colori! ... Are any of us from here? "
Welcome to The Montreal Issue (or, as our editors have affectionately dubbed it over the many months it took to complete, Le New Quarterly). Is it mélange, métissage?... In these pages we turn twenty again, wax epicurian, ogle boys and bagels, visit a night zoo, shoot a non-coercive Communist...and much more.
