Canadian Drama Titles

[Sarah Warren]

Dear Theatre Studies Colleagues:

As we are moving into the fall season, we here at Talonbooks are busy 
preparing our spring 2007 publication schedule. Our list in 2006 
contained an exciting mix of work, offering books that challenge 
established modes of thought and ideology. Notably we were pleased to 
launch THEATRE AND AUTOBIOGRAPHY: WRITING AND PERFORMING LIVES IN 
THEORY AND PRACTICE, edited by Sherrill Grace and Jerry Wasserman. As 
Karl Siegler, President & Publisher of Talonbooks notes, the book maps 
and theorizes the phenomenon of "reality-based" performance, a 
ubiquitous form of the public imagination in the 21st century. One of 
the first texts in this field, the book contributes to the profile and 
stature of this research subject as al alternative to the deep-seated 
anti-humanism so long associated in Western culture with modernist 
ideology and aesthetics.

Talonbooks is very pleased to announce the forthcoming publication of 
SPECTACLE OF EMPIRE: MARC LESCAROBT'S THEATRE OF NEPTUNE IN NEW FRANCE 
in a special 400th anniversary commemorative edition by Jerry 
Wasserman. This new edition includes the original French script along 
with its long out-of-print English translations by American historical 
preservationist Harriette Taber Richardson and Canadian scholars Eugene 
and Renate Benson, as well as Ben Jonson's "The Masque of Blackness" 
(1605), an illustrative contemporary English imperial spectacle. 
Theatre scholar and practitioner Jerry Wasserman offers extensive 
historical and critical analysis in the introduction and the extended 
bibliography.

2006 also saw the publication of THE VENTRILOQUIST by Larry Tremblay 
and IN A WORLD CREATED BY A DRUNKEN GOD by Drew Hayden Taylor. A full 
thirteen of Talon's dramatists: Michel Marc Bouchard, George Boyd, 
Sally Clark, Marie Clements, Daniel Danis, Lorena Gale, Daniel MacIvor, 
Joan MacLeod, Morris Panych, Vittorio Rossi, Drew Hayden Taylor, Larry 
Tremblay and Guillermo Verdecchia were long-listed for the prestigious 
Siminovitch Prize in 2005, with Daniel MacIvor and Joan MacLeod 
included among the seven finalists.
