Discover 'The Second Substance,' a captivating novel that explores the raw intricacies of freedom and community amidst a crumbling societal backdrop. This brand-new trade paperback edition, published by Coach House Books in 2022, takes readers on a journey through the lives of squatters who have taken over a desolate gas station. Through their daily rituals of ripping up asphalt, sharing beers, and culinary indulgences with hot dogs, these individuals seek not just survival but innovative ways to thrive post-petrocivilization.This sensual narrative introduces a vibrant cast of characters—an enigmatic landscaper, adventurous Italian anarchists, a determined policewoman, and wandering travelers. Each character adds depth to a story where a teenager grapples with homelessness and 'The Girl With No Name' chronicles her passionate escapades. In this community, sex is not merely an afterthought but acts as a pivotal force intertwined with their quest for understanding and connection.
As the story unfolds, tensions rise. Hostile neighbors and an impending investigation challenge their fragile utopia, embodying the conflict between the societal norms of conventional life and the quest for authentic freedom. Anne Lardeux deftly weaves elements of poetry, film, and visual arts into this exuberant choral novel, making it a significant addition to modern Quebec literature. Whether you view it as a humorous exploration or a serious examination of power dynamics, 'The Second Substance' is a revolutionary work that ensures its place in both literary and cultural discourse.

Cute, Comfortable, Light-Weight Shoes, Perfect for School
Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Pink/Lavender, Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Pink/Lavender
These have turned out to be great everyday shoes for my 5 year old. She normally wears a size 10, but since that size wasn’t available, I ordered the 11 expecting her to grow into them. I was pleasantly surprised that they already fit her pretty well. There’s still a little extra room in the toe area, but the shoes fit securely around her ankles so they don’t feel loose or slip off while walking or playing.
She says they’re very comfortable and loves how easy they are to slip on by herself. The lightweight design is nice for everyday wear, and they’ve held up well so far despite being worn almost daily. They've become her favorite shoes to wear! Also the pink/lavender color is really pretty in person. Overall, I’m very happy with them and would order again.

Great shoe well made
Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Pink/Lavender, Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Pink/Lavender
Really good shoes at a fair price. My daughter loves the pink and purple gradient colors. Really beautiful. Shoes have proven themselves very durable. She's been wearing these a few times a week for the last couple months and they still look new aside from some dirt stains. Fit perfectly. Very comfortable. This is always her first pick in the morning when she's getting dressed. Good breathability you can wear these in hot summer weather without sweaty feet. Versatile shoe looks good enough to wear out and about or exercise in.
