Reflections
Poems and stories from a lifetime of observation by John Giraudy
The book is a collection of poetry, verse and five short stories. It is a reflection on the author's observations of people, cultures, and commentary on the idosyncracies of humankind. Its content also draws attention to the disagreeable behaviour of our species towards each other, and sadly, the growing exploitation of our planet. On a more whimsical note, the book contains a light-hearted and satirizing look at life. While some of the content is thought-provoking, it is mostly relaxing and fun reading.

Schumann, Vienna and the Cat
by Robert Silverman
Robert Schumann—one of the most imaginative figures of the Romantic era—and concert pianist Robert Silverman: in both lives, brief but psychologically complex sojourns in Vienna became decisive crucibles, testing ambition against reality and shaping the emergence of fully formed artistic identities. Their two stories unfold in counterpoint in Schumann, Vienna, and the Cat, illuminating one another across time. In the first half of the book, Silverman traces his own artistic formation in Montreal to his decisive years of study in Vienna (1961–1963). Interwoven with this personal narrative is the parallel story of Robert Schumann, whose formative struggles and ambitions are followed to the moment he, too, left Vienna in 1839. The second half of the book is devoted to extended essays on Schumann’s Kreisleriana, Op. 16, and Humoreske, Op. 20—works born of those Viennese years and examined here through historical context, literary influence, and performance insight. The result is neither conventional biography, memoir, nor purely technical analysis, but a meditation in two voices on artistic maturity, self-scrutiny, and the long journey toward integration. Schumann, Vienna, and the Cat offers readers—especially emerging classical musicians—a model of how talent is shaped through uncertainty, risk, and self-examination rather than immediate mastery. At the same time, it invites older readers to look back on their own formative years with renewed understanding, recognizing that maturity often emerges from precisely the turbulence that once seemed misguided or excessive.

I Want to Break Free
An Abacus Story by Koorosh Eslami
In 1984, fourteen-year-old Koorosh Eslami left Tehran with his father to escape being drafted into the Iran-Iraq War. After living and studying in Türkiye, his unique adventure begins and he flees to Canada alone, illegally where he was detained in January 1986. Eventually, a loving foster home took him into their arms, where the daily fun and chaos plunged him headlong into his first lessons about North American life. Told through the running metaphor of an abacus—each bead representing a person he lived with, a move, or a new survival problem—Koorosh’s story follows him from the group home as he transitions into adulthood. Along the way, he endures multiple basement apartments and roommates, graveyard shifts, backbreaking jobs, bad breaks, hard-won opportunities, and the long climb toward education, stability, and a career as an engineer. Throughout it all, he experiences reunion, loss, and the uneasy realization that his escape didn’t erase his past; it only changed the terrain. I Want to Break Free is a raw, darkly funny, and often tender memoir of survival and reinvention, told by a narrator who never stops asking what freedom costs and who pays the bill.
