Spring issue on the stands

May 2023

We’re getting a great response to our spring issue, packed with assessments, appreciations, and imagery on the theme of Corner Stores. Where can you buy it? In St John’s, try Johnny Ruth, The Travel Bug, Downtown Comics, the gift shop at The Rooms, Food For Thought, and, yes, the esteemed corner store Hallidays. We hope to update out list of national retailers very soon.

Personal soundtrack- A chat with Jamie Fitzpatrick

BY Rebecca Cohoe

“When you’re young, you use music to invent yourself.” So said Jamie Fitzpatrick when I spoke with him about his second novel, The End of Music. Throughout the story, popular songs, from old standards to indie rock, shape the world of his characters. Our conversation ranged from his hometown of Gander to whether or not it is wrong to make your children listen to The Eagles in the car.
