Mattawa Broken Dreams
Memoirs of a New Ontario Country Doctor by Benoît Cazabon
In 1889, Dr. Sylvain de Caseneuve arrives in New Ontario, a region recently opened to settlers, many of whom are French-Canadians. Swept up by the spirit of Mattawa's thriving community, his many endeavours to offer physical and moral care are thwarted by commercial interests and complacent government officials. Reviewing his diary, diligently kept over 29 years, de Caseneuve relives his tumultuous love affair and eventual marriage to Jasmine Fife, with whom he has a son, Maxence. Simmering hostilities, rooted in conflicting English and French priorities, lead him to worry about Maxence’s future and what lies ahead for his compatriots, whose cultural survival is threatened by Ottawa's priorities. Such trials ultimately lead to the failure of his marriage and a sense of alienation that compel him to leave Mattawa and to return to his homeland, alone and broken. His hopes are rekindled as he bonds with his undergraduate son whose resolve to seek a better future for his people redeems his father's vision.

Top Tick
Vanishing Valuations in the Contemporary Art Market by David Birkenshaw
The art world loves a spectacle. But at what cost? In Top Tick, art collector and former finance professional David Birkenshaw pulls back the velvet curtain on contemporary art’s high-stakes circus, where branding often matters more than brushwork. Blending personal insight with auction data, he reveals a volatile marketplace in which only the top 1 percent of “brand-name” artists (think Warhol, Hirst, or Basquiat) hold their value, while the rest quietly vanish from gallery walls—and balance sheets. From multimillion-dollar bananas to crypto-funded publicity stunts, Top Tick explores how hype, wealth signaling, and fashion routinely outpace artistic merit. This isn’t a takedown of contemporary art. Rather, it’s a clear-eyed look at how it’s traded, flaunted, and forgotten. A cautionary tale disguised as market analysis, Top Tick is essential reading for anyone who still believes “investment-grade art” is anything but an oxymoron.
