One Strong Girl
$21.95One Strong Girl is a mother’s vivid account of what it is like to lose her daughter, India, to a rare debilitating disease. The story is a bold description of what it means to deal with deep sorrow and still find balance and beauty in an age steeped in the denial of death. At ten, India climbed the highest on the rope at gymnastics, yet by sixteen was so weak she was unable to even dress herself. The narrative follows the six-year fight for answers from the medical community. Finally, after the genetic testing of India’s DNA, it was discovered there were two mutations on her ASAH1 gene, a deadly combination. Today her cells are alive in a research lab at the University of Ottawa. This is a legacy that cuts both ways, a point of pride and pain. One Strong Girl is a story of what it’s like to outlive an only child. It describes the intensity of loving a dying child and most importantly, the joy to be found, even amidst the sorrow.

It Is Always Summer
Publisher: Bunim & Bannigan$6.95It Is Always Summer is the last of the four Kingston novels that David Helwig produced in the closing decades of the last century in which, as one reviewer put it, he “transforms Kingston into an exotic Venice of the north.”(Matt Cohen) The narrative is as luxurious and disturbing as the lives reflected in it. This new edition has been revised by the author. “David Helwig has done that rare thing: written a novel about men and women that describes all characters in equal detail, sensitivity and depth in poetic, sensual language.” (Montreal Gazette.)
The Ballad of Billie Potts
Artist: P. John BurdenPublisher: Bunim & Bannigan$14.99One of the most significant early works of Robert Penn Warren (1905-1989) —the American writer and literary critic who is the only person to have won Pulitzer Prizes in both fiction and poetry —The Ballad of Billie Potts has, in the decades since it was released in Warren’s 1943 volume Selected Poems, proven far more universal than its setting between the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers in western Kentucky might suggest.
Now, publisher Bunim & Bannigan, Ltd. makes this classic of mid-century American literature available to the modern reader with the release of a new edition featuring a thought-provoking new introduction from John Burt and powerful, fantastic-realist illustrations by artist P. John Burden.
David Lazar A Novel
Publisher: Bunim & Bannigan$24.50Robert Kalich blurs the lines between memoir and fiction to tell a timeless story of love and redemption, with a dash of noir.
David Lazar is a born and bred New Yorker reflecting on the arc of his life as he composes his memoir. Filled with colorful New York characters–childhood friends, business mentors, wealthy associates, organized crime figures, celebrities, and sports stars–and told by a complex and compelling narrator, the city from the 1950s up to the present comes alive. The Big Apple is Lazar’s cradle and his cauldron, and a life like Lazar’s is unique to New York City.
A professional sports gambler, Lazar is haunted by the immoral nature of the very work that made him rich. His innermost being is shaken as he reimagines the dehumanizing nature of his work and former life. Did he sell his soul to make it? Is there redemption for wealth based on corruption and violence? If he is completely honest, does he risk losing what he cherishes the most: the love and respect of his wife and son? Lazar has a decision to make. This is the story of a perilous journey into the soul of a man who risks losing far more than he’s ever won.
Welcome to the world of David Lazar, the world of doubt and self-doubt, where life is lived as a novel and a novel is truer than life.
The Case of Paul Kammerer The Most Controversial Biologist of His Time
Publisher: Bunim & Bannigan$27.99The Case of Paul Kammerer is a well-researched and highly readable historical account of one of the biggest, till today unsolved scientific scandals. Paul Kammerer, ‘the father of epigenetic,’ was a talented and idealistic biologist, whose ground-breaking research made headlines worldwide. Vienna at the turn of the 20th century, where Kammerer lived and worked, was at its creative peak yet already declining toward Nazism. The book that reads like a detective story, provides new evidence for the events that led to Kammerer’s tragic end while exposing the implicit yet dangerous links between science and politics.
Clyde
Publisher: Bunim & Bannigan$18.95Betrayed by his oldest friend, a boyhood companion, his gingerly constructed career at stake, Clyde Bryanton, a property developer and Ottawa political consultant, unpeels layers and layers of memory, a half century of getting along by going along. Fatherless, his sire a casualty of the Dieppe raid, Clyde is as baffled by the emotions that occasionally sound from his depths as he is by his mentors, banker and the senator who manipulate money and power in a small Canadian city. A stranger even to his wife, who dubs him ‘Silent Joe,’ he navigates social, familial, political and commercial obligations with the same cool skills he exhibits on the golf courses that weave in and out of the fabric of his life. The darkest of secrets become no more to Clyde than the bunkers and sand traps he avoids with his selections of irons as he gambles a mysterious five thousand dollars against access to the wife of an envied son of privilege. This latest novel by distinguished Canadian author David Helwig, describes a North America, whether Canada or the United States, of eyes on the ground and noses to the grindstone, of business as politics and politics as business, of kindness and malice and nameless fear. Clyde, is an incisive portrait of the generation that came of age in the 1960s, and of the culture that came to dominate the second half of the twentieth century.
Show Me The Way To Go Home
Publisher: Bunim & Bannigan$18.95With near total recall, the author recreates what it was like, from a child’s point of view, to be tied to a charming, naïve single mother. The years are 1936 to 1948; the milieu, the New Jersey Oranges. Navigating the hardships of the Great Depression and the mysteries of world conflict, young Dorothy Jane asks one teacher if a war is ever ‘off.’ Show Me The Way To Go Home follows the unanchored, at times rakish, existence of a feckless mother and innocent daughter who rarely spending more than a few seasons at one address. It is a tale of resiliency and courage, of a child’s growing awareness of her predicament, and her gradually achieved maturity.

An afterword by Hugh MacDonald presents an Atlantic Canadian’s perspective.
Grumbling Hive Revisited Private Greed, Public Need
Publisher: Bunim & Bannigan$8.99In the original Grumbling Hive, dishonesty and vice created employment and wealth, inspiring Adam Smith, whose idealization of markets is a template for today’s unbridled capitalism.

Its image-driven prose manifests the vagaries of memory and the struggle for self-reinvention.
