The ‘damn sleaze and the cheapness of it all’

cover

A sultry noir tale set in a Mexican port city circa 1943 involves schemes, repression, acting out, and fifty shades of morally grey characters. It’s “a fast-paced story that combines family scandal, salacious behaviour, and a murder just waiting to happen,” says our reviewer. —Sophia Wasylinko reviews The Intrigue, by Silvia Moreno-Garcia (Toronto: Del Rey, 2026) $39.99 / 9780593874356

‘Something to escape from’

“George is one of those raconteurs. The first half of Barefoot Gringo jumps from one zinger to another, all of them the kind of crowd pleaser recognizable around the social leveller of a table crowded with glasses and almost invisible through smoke.” Harold Rhenisch reviews Barefoot Gringo, by George Bowering (Vancouver: On Point Press, an imprint of UBC Press, 2026) $26.95 / 9780774890786
