Concours (de dernière minute)

The 15th annual Great Canadian Literary Hunt has begun. For 15 years now This Magazine has surveyed this vast country for the best and brightest in Canadian new fiction and poetry and this year, just to keep things interesting, we’ve added a new category. For the first time, we’ll award a prize for best graphic narrative (think graphic novel, but way shorter).

It’s the same great contest you know and love with great cash prizes, plus publication in an issue of This Magazine and exposure to our nationwide readership that includes top publishers, writers and editors.

Past winners of the Great Canadian Literary Hunt have gone on to be recognized at the National Magazine Awards, the Journey Prize, and the Trillium Book Award; many have been published by the top houses in the country and are among the most exciting talent in fiction and poetry today.

You could be next! Just send your entries by July 4, 2011 and join This Magazine's 45-year tradition of heralding the brightest talents in Canadian letters.

Questions? Just email hunt@thismagazine.ca or visit http://this.org/lithunt for more information.

19 janvier 2011:
Mise à jour de Jane, la vilaine Impératrice du Jam:

En ce début de 2011 le Comix Jam de Montréal a pris une nouvelle résolution. Désormais, les rencontres se feront tous les derniers mardis du mois à 7.30 PM dans notre repaire habituel de l'Escalier. En effet, depuis que l'Escalier est devenu de plus en plus populaire auprès du public, il nous était difficile de réserver une table suffisamment grande pour que les membres du Jam puissent dessiner et boire de la bière en tout confort. On vous attend donc mardi prochain le 25 janvier à 7.30 PM à l'Escalier, situé à quelques pas de la
station de métro Berri-UQAM, sortie rue Ste-Catherine.

The Comix Jam has taken a new resolution for 2011. For now on, our meetings will be held on the last Tuesdays of the month at 7.30 PM in our usual L'Escalier lair. Since l'Escalier became trendier among the local hipsters, it was difficult to us to book a table big enough to allow our Jam members to draw
and drink beer in a comfy setting. Therefore we are waiting to see you this coming Tuesday, January 25, 7.30 PM at l'Escalier, a few steps from metro station Berri-UQAM, exit Ste-Catherine.

Le Jam maintenant le Mardi!

Pour éviter les poètes nudistes, les slameux islamistes et les musiciens folk-néo-trotskistes, le Comix Jam change d'horaire. Le Jam se déroule maintenant tous les derniers Mardi du mois. Comme d'habitude à L'Escalier au 552 Sainte-Catherine est, à 19h30. Il n'y a pas de Comix Jam en Décembre.

Des milliards de pages!

Bon, j'exagère un peu (si peu!), mais c'est tout de même impressionnant. Max Douglas, alias Salgood Sam, alias Salguod Xam alias... (bon, passons) vient d'en numériser une quantité remarquable sur Facebook.

Vous pouvez les admirer ici:

Une menace mise à exécution

Voici une page terminée récemment (bon, disons dans la dernière année) lors d'une de nos soirées à l'Escalier. Depuis le temps qu'on se promet de vous en montrer une... Comme je n'y ai pas personnellement participé, je prie les vaillants artistes et les connaisseurs en la matière de faire l'identification à ma place. Vive la bande dessinée!

Jam de Juin cancellé

Il n'y aura pas de Jam en Juin à cause de la fête nationale du Québec.
