{The Calgary Gay History Project is on hiatus until the New Year. Look for new queer history content in 2024!}
December 6th is Saint Nicholas Day, when Santa comes to visit (in some countries).
If you know someone who has been good all year and deserves a present, check out our two award-winning books from our in-house imprint, ASPublishing.
Our Past Matters: Stories of Gay Calgary hit #1 on the Calgary Herald bestseller list in 2019 and has been popular ever since. John Ibbitson, from The Globe and Mail, explains: “You are going to read about some amazing people, places, and times in these pages… There is no one better equipped than Kevin Allen to give us a tour.”
What Narcissus Saw is Gordon Sombrowski’s second book of fiction exploring life in Fernie, BC. It was selected from hundreds of contenders as a finalist in the Whistler Independent Book Awards last October. The awards jury wrote: “Sombrowski’s linked short stories immediately draw in the reader. He deftly breathes life and intrigue into his settings and characters with language to be savoured.”
Books are available in Calgary at Shelf Life Books and Pages.
You can also purchase books and have them shipped from our online store for $24.99 + $6.99 shipping (in Canada).
Happy holidays!
