It's here! Dr. Jen Gunter's Menopause Manifesto counters stubborn myths and misunderstandings about menopause with hard facts, real science, fascinating historical perspective, and expert advice. Frank and funny, Dr. Jen debunks misogynistic attitudes and challenges the over-mystification of menopause to reveal everything you really need to know about menopause. We have a limited number of signed copies available! Get yours in the bookstore, by phone at 204-475-0483, or onli...ne here: mcnallyrobinson.com/9780/jen-gunter/the-menopause-manifesto We also hope you'll join us on Thursday, June 17 for the online launch, featuring Dr. Jen Gunter herself in discussion with host Jen Zoratti. It'll be streamed simultaneously on Zoom and YouTube, and you'll need to pre-register if you'd like to join the Zoom discussion. All of the details can be found on our website.

We might have had to stay at home all weekend but that didn't stop us from continuing to explore the world of Arab cooking with The Arabesque Table: Contemporar...y Recipes from the Arab World (Phaidon.com) by Reem Kassis. Here is what we tried. You see the Herb, Garlic and Chili Stuffed Chicken Thighs (page 120) with the Caramelized Butternut Squash Fattah with Za'atar (page 160). Some great new flavours for us! We also tried the Lentil and Vegetable Soup with Preserved Lemon (page 170). I've become a big fan recently of preserved lemons and you can see them displayed above the cookbook below. They really give a blast of lemon flavour in all kinds of dishes. Happy cooking everyone and thanks for reading. See more

For more info and to get started, visit: https://secure3.convio.net/mssoc/site//Walk/NationalOffice We are putting together our own McNally Robinson team (who will, again, be walking together-but-separately), and we hope you'll consider sponso...ring one of our members.

Thank you for your contributions. Hopefully together we can one day beat MS.

I'm very excited to see this new arrival on our shelves; the new book by one of my favorite authors, Andre Alexis. The Night Piece (McClelland & Stewart) is his... collected short fiction, taken from his debut collection, Despair and Other Stories of Ottawa, and Beauty and Sadness as well as a few previously uncollected stories. I had been reading Alexis for years and so was thrilled when he broke through to win the Scotiabank Giller Prize for his novel, Fifteen Dogs (Coach House Books). I recommend everything that he writes. Click here to see more about this new release. https://www.mcnallyrobinson.com/9780771006630//night-piece
