Product Information
WINNER OF THE 2019 SCOTIABANK GILLER PRIZE AND CBC'S BEST NOVEL OF THE YEAR, this best-selling debut novel is an energetically told, funny, and moving book about how strangers become family. Reproduction tells a crooked love story in which love takes strange, winding paths and grows in a context shaped by community, family, longstanding friendships, and fleeting interactions that leave their mark on us forever. Felicia, a nineteen-year-old student from a West Indian family, and Edgar, the lazy-minded and impetuous heir of a wealthy German family, meet by chance when their ailing mothers are assigned the same hospital room. After the death of Felicia's mother and the recovery of Edgar's, Felicia drops out of high-school and takes a job as caregiver to Edgar's mother. The odd-couple relationship between Edgar and Felicia, ripe with miscommunications, misunderstandings, and reprisals for perceived and real offenses, has some unexpected results. Years later, Felicia's son Armistice--"Army" for short--is a teenager fixated on a variety of get-rich-quick schemes that are as comic as they are indicative of the immigrant son's fear of falling through the cracks. When Edgar re-enters Felicia's life at a typically (for him) inopportune moment, the book's exhilarating final act is set in the motion and the full import of its title is revealed. "This gorgeous novel vibrates with life...Stylistically inventive and narratively compelling, Reproduction is stunning."-- Aminatta Forna, author of The Memory of Love

Reviews
Praise for Reproduction "Poet Ian Williams experiments with structure to tell a classic love story. . . . Reproduction is reminiscent of Miriam Toews's novel All My Puny Sorrows in its balance between grief and humour. It's an intergenerational story told in an unexpected way." -- Quill & Quire "Ian Williams delivers a promising first novel. Reproduction manages to be witty, playful, and disarmingly offbeat--even as it hums with serious themes. . . . Reproduction serves as a literary representation of the various intersections of culture, race, and gender in contemporary Canada, it is a mirror with graffiti/social commentary both humourous and powerful scrawled all over it." --Rayyan Al-Shawaf, Toronto Star "[D]riven as much by its relationships as its characters, and is intensified and enriched by an inventive style that borrows from Williams's giant poet's brain." -- The Globe and Mail "[A]n intergenerational novel . . . that examines how love can supersede blood ties. [ Reproduction 's] complicated path mirrors how many families are built on experiences that don't make the photo albums, and illuminates how dark and painful moments can share equal space with joy and laughter. . . .With Reproduction, Williams joins authors like David Chariandy and Catherine Hernandez--whose recent novels are set in Scarborough--showcasing the bounty of stories of those who live beyond the CN Tower's shadow." --Sue Carter, Toronto Star "The startling brilliance of Ian Williams stems from his restlessness with form. His ceaseless creativity susses out the right patterning of story, the right vernacular nuance, the right diagram and deftly dropped reference--all in service of vividly illuminating the intermingled comedy and trauma of family." --David Chariandy, author of Brother and I've Been Meaning to Tell You " Reproduction 's genius is its weaponized empathy, the precision-etched intensity of Williams's gritty, witty, wholly unsentimental exploration of the collision of human hearts and the messy aftermath. Love and its lack form a spectrum that the characters bounce between, searching for connections, redemption and meaning." --Eden Robinson, author of Trickster Drift and Son of a Trickster, "One of the most energetic, lively, funny, and sad novels of the year."-- Quill & Quire , Book of the Year "Williams's unsparing view on the past's repetition is heartrending. This ambitious experiment yields worthwhile results."-- Publishers Weekly "Witty, playful, and disarmingly offbeat--even as it hums with serious themes."-- The Toronto Star "Polyphonic and big-hearted."-- Electric Literature "A family saga like no other, with vivid characters and spectacular narrative twists . . . What makes it all work is Williams's exquisite writing and his willingness to take risk with form. This is a fresh and exciting literary voice."-- NOW Toronto , Book of the Year "Both funny and poignant, powerful and playful."-- The Calgary Herald "Reproduction is an inventive and tender portrait of family life in all its forms."-- Rabble "Reproduction's genius is its weaponized empathy, the precision-etched intensity of Williams' gritty, witty, wholly unsentimental exploration of the collision of human hearts and the messy aftermath."-- Eden Robinson, author of Monkey Beach and Son of a Trickster "Reminiscent of Miriam Toews's novel All My Puny Sorrows in its balance between grief and humour."-- Quill & Quire "Williams's compassion for his characters transforms them from ordinary beings into uncommon souls. We know these people: their flaws, their foibles and their fuck ups. We recognize them because we share the same vagaries of living, wherever we are born."-- Aminatta Forna, author of The Memory of Love "The startling brilliance of Ian Williams stems from his restlessness with form. His ceaseless creativity in sussing out the right patterning of story, the right vernacular nuance, the right diagram and deftly dropped reference--all in service of vividly illuminating the intermingled comedy and trauma of family."-- David Chariandy, author of Brother "Reproduction is a brilliant modernist symphony, a truly unique blend of character, voice, sound, and style that shows the many different ways family can be made, and what the concept of family actually means in diverse contexts. A surprising, intriguing, and moving novel by a proven talent."-- Marion Abbott, Mrs. Dalloway's Bookstore, Berkeley CA "A daring and funny intergenerational family saga . . . Williams, a poet, brings a thrilling linguistic verve to this already-gripping story, and his restless experimental prose makes Reproduction fly off the page."-- Danny Caine, Raven Bookstore, Lawrence KS "Williams' Reproduction contains examples of the compromises and mutually agreed upon lies that bind families together. The ability of humans to wilfully ignore past misdeeds, to keep secrets for decades and forge on despite human frailty and failings are all clearly depicted in Williams' story."-- Winnipeg Free Press "In this novel about fathers who vanish and the families that spring up in their place, the Vancouver-based poet deftly weaves together the voices of a 14-year-old Black boy, a 16-year-old white girl and a motley crew of middle-aged parents who are all struggling to do right by their children--with mixed results."-- Chatelaine Magazine, "One of the most energetic, lively, funny, and sad novels of the year."-- Quill & Quire , Book of the Year "William''s imaginative, intricate tapestries are dazzling."-- The New York Times Book Review "Williams''s unsparing view on the past''s repetition is heartrending. This ambitious experiment yields worthwhile results."-- Publishers Weekly "Witty, playful, and disarmingly offbeat--even as it hums with serious themes."-- The Toronto Star "Williams creatively and masterfully intersperses poetry, dialog, humor, pregnant asides, music lyrics, and descriptive passages to reveal what is going on inside the characters'' heads and outside in the world around them."-- Library Journal (Starred Review) "Polyphonic and big-hearted."-- Electric Literature "A witty, formally thrilling family saga."-- Kirkus Reviews "A family saga like no other, with vivid characters and spectacular narrative twists . . . What makes it all work is Williams''s exquisite writing and his willingness to take risk with form. This is a fresh and exciting literary voice."-- NOW Toronto , Book of the Year "Williams brings the characters'' struggles and flaws to life with compassion and intelligence, and the novel deftly explores themes of inheritance, race, money, sex, and love."-- BookRiot "Both funny and poignant, powerful and playful."-- The Calgary Herald "Reproduction is an inventive and tender portrait of family life in all its forms."-- Rabble "Reproduction''s genius is its weaponized empathy, the precision-etched intensity of Williams'' gritty, witty, wholly unsentimental exploration of the collision of human hearts and the messy aftermath."-- Eden Robinson, author of Monkey Beach and Son of a Trickster "Reminiscent of Miriam Toews''s novel All My Puny Sorrows in its balance between grief and humour."-- Quill & Quire "Williams''s compassion for his characters transforms them from ordinary beings into uncommon souls.
