January 21, 2013 — Coach House Books is thrilled to introduce a new series of non-fiction books, Exploded Views. Curated and edited by Jason McBride, it's a series of books on cultural issues meant to occupy that space between a magazine essay and an exhaustive tome — not a 45 or an LP, but maybe an EP.
A Community History of Will Munro, the Artist, Activist, Impresario and Civic Hero Who Brought Together Toronto's Club Kids, Art Fags, Hardcore Boys, Drag Queens, Bitchy Queens, Grassroots Queers, Crafty Dykes, Gender Warriors, Café Loiterers, Park Sex Aficionados, Rock 'n' Roll Lovers, Needlework Obsessives, Limpwristed Nellies, Stone Butches, New Wave Freaks, Unabashed Perverts, Proud Prudes and Beautiful Dreamers
In addition to being the start of the summer movie season, a time for flowers and the last name of Rod Stewart's friend Maggie, May is also the month of Doors Open Toronto and the start of Book Expo America! But here's the thing about May: it's the fifth month of the year, and as such (and because we're stumped for sale ideas), we're taking a fifth of the price off every title on the Coach House site!
From May 30 to June 1, the largest publishing event in North America – Book Expo America (or 'BEA' to those in 'the biz') – is hosted at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City, and Coach House will be there. Like every year, the Expo provides booksellers and publishing industry workers a preview of exciting new things happening in the world of books.
