McNally Robinson Booksellers Launches
hosted live in the Atrium of McNally Robinson Booksellers, Grant Park

June 3, 7 - 8 pm

Join us for the Winnipeg launch of German author Elina Penner's Nightberries, a dark modern fairytale about the enigma, Nelli Neufeld. Featuring a conversation hosted by Andrew Unger.
Available as a YouTube stream: https://youtube.com/live/FpbWqOe5hfI

The quiet youngest daughter in a noisy, tangled German Mennonite family who fled from Russia in the 1990s, Nelli seems to be coping well in a traditional marriage. But what is going on in her memory? As we follow the events on two key days in 2020, we are asked riddles about Nelli that even she might not be able to answer.

Penner was born in 1987 as a Mennonite German in the former Soviet Union and moved to Germany in 1991. She is a successful personal essayist and blogger, with many of her non-fiction pieces gathered in the 2023 collection, Migrantenmutti (Migrant Mother). Nachtbeeren was her first novel. In 2025, her second novel, Die Unbußfertigen (The Unrepentant), was released in Germany.

June 6, 7 - 8 pm

Join author Gail Perry for an illustrated talk and book signing in celebration of the launch of John D Atchison Architect: His Works & Times (Winnipeg Architecture Foundation).
Available as a YouTube stream: https://youtube.com/live/M4U8T94YeQU

From 1905 to 1923, Atchison, one of Winnipeg’s most prolific and accomplished early twentieth century architects, built the backdrop to the city. This first Atchison monograph collects and considers his life’s work in historical context, including his early influences in and around Chicago and, in later years, his design direction in California. The text is complimented by hundreds of images, including an illustrated listing of his extant works in Winnipeg and Western Canada, the American Midwest and California.
 
Perry (BA, LL.B) is the first heritage designation officer for the Province of Manitoba and a founder of the Winnipeg Architecture Foundation. She is a 2020 recipient of the Lieutenant Governor General’s Award for Historical Preservation and Promotion. She is active with the Manitoba Historical Society and Winnipeg Architecture Foundation.

June 10, 7 - 8 pm

Join us for an evening with acclaimed horror novelist Marcus Kliewer as he presents his new book, The Caretaker. Featuring a conversation hosted by Joanna Graham followed by a book signing. Available as a YouTube stream: https://youtube.com/live/4r2ocByMscg

A supernatural horror about a young woman who accepts a caretaking job from Craigslist, only to discover the position has consequences far greater—and more dangerous—than she ever could have imagined.

Kliewer is a writer and stop-motion animator. His debut novel We Used to Live Here began life as a serialized short story on Reddit. Film rights were snapped up by Netflix, and it was acquired by Simon & Schuster in the US for publication. He lives in Vancouver.
*
June 11, 7 - 8 pm

Join us for an evening with Dora Dueck as she returns to celebrate the launch of her latest book, Like a River Divides the Earth. Featuring a reading and a conversation hosted by Sue Sorensen, followed by a book signing.
Available as a YouTube stream: https://youtube.com/live/NSENwRkZa1M

Dora Dueck’s characters encounter grief or betrayal, as they quest for tenderness and connection. With compelling grace and insight, Dueck probes the things that divide us and the ways our lives are indelibly stitched together.

Dueck is the author of five books, as well as essays, stories, and poetry in a variety of journals. Honours include the McNally Robinson Book of the Year Award, the High Plains Book Award for short fiction, and winner of The Malahat Review’s novella contest. She blogs  at www.doradueck.com

Join us for a special evening with Monique Gray Smith as she discusses her book, ‘Sharing the Light: Stories and Reflections’ with host Shelagh Rogers. A book signing will follow. https://www.mcnallyrobinson.com/.../mon.../sharing-the-light
Also available as a YouTube stream: https://youtube.com/live/R816o6t0IkU

This book can be used as a source of guidance, providing gentle wisdom that inspires and empowers. Through the lens of five transformative practices—gratitude, love, joy, happiness, and hope—Smith weaves together short stories, poignant reflections, and thoughtful questions that invite readers to pause and reconnect with their inner light.

Monique Gray Smith is an award-winning, bestselling author, as well as an accomplished international speaker and consultant. Of Cree and Scottish descent, she has been sober and on her healing journey for more than thirty-four years. Her debut novel, ‘Tilly: A Story of Hope and Resilience’, won the 2014 Burt Award for First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Literature.

Also available as a YouTube stream: https://youtube.com/live/eTe25WKQW9E

Set in Torduvalle, Saskatchewan, 1946, this story explores the repercussions of a woman’s decision to hide her Métis identity while living in a small, predominantly white prairie town.
This novel asks us what we will do for our community, for our families, for our friends, even at our own expense. It examines the harrowing effects of choosing to live as someone else, and the radiant peace that comes from finally living one’s truth.

Tara Gereaux is the author of ‘Saltus’, which was shortlisted for the 2022 ReLit Novel Award and three Saskatchewan Book Awards; and ‘Size of a Fist’, a teen novella, which was shortlisted for two Saskatchewan Book Awards.

Also available as a YouTube stream: https://youtube.com/live/-21EHYRJfBo

A catastrophe on a mountain in Transylvania sends cyanide through rivers and streams, destroying an ecosystem and killing hundreds. As the impact of the mining breach stretches beyond the country’s borders it ensnares Farrar and Clio who begin to understand that their business interests are intertwined with enterprises more sinister than they’d realized.

Margaret Sweatman is a novelist, playwright, poet, and performer. Her work has won the Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize, the Sunburst Award for Canadian Literature of the Fantastic, the Margaret Laurence Book Award, the Carol Shields Winnipeg Award, and the McNally Robinson Book of the Year Award.

Also available as a YouTube stream: https://youtube.com/live/KkT2PojPgt0

Tracey Lindberg and artist George Littlechild consider a teaching from an Elder that in their culture love, as constructed in Western society, does not exist. Through fiction and select paintings, they respond, inspiring readers to recall responsibilities to relations, to think about the obligation that is love, and to imagine what it means to have no word for love.

Tracey Lindberg is a citizen of As’in’i’wa’chi Ni’yaw Nation Rocky Mountain Cree from the Kelly Lake Cree Nation community. She is an award-winning academic writer and a professor of law. She is the author of ‘Birdie’, which was shortlisted for CBC’s Canada Reads, the Kobo Emerging Writer Prize, and the Georges Bugnet Award for Fiction and longlisted for the International Dublin Literary Award.

This February the Winnipeg Humane Society and our Animal Welfare team are bringing awareness to welfare concerns commonly associated with dairy production, and encouraging our community to learn more about the complex and sentient lives of dairy cows. One of the easiest ways you can make a difference is by reducing your dairy consumption.
 
We know that it is not easy to completely cut dairy from your diet. Our challenge for you this month is to try some of the dairy-free alternatives now readily available.
Try almond or oat milk in your morning coffee or cereal
Swap plant-based cheese on your pizza at restaurants
Look for plant-based yogurts, ice creams, and desserts at your local grocer
 
We’re asking you to ‘Try Dairy Free for Me’. You might think that your efforts will not make a difference, but small swaps and substitutes can lead to big changes.   https://winnipeghumanesociety.ca/animal-issues/farm-animal-welfare/canadas-dairy-industry/
