A little giveaway from us and Athabasca University to end the year! You deserve some good reads! 📚❤️

📚 Celebrate the season with a holiday book bundle giveaway from AU Press. 🎄

To win: follow Athabasca University Press on Facebook, and comment below, telling us which of these three sport-literature titles you’d love to curl up with over the holidays.

“Writing the Body in Motion,” edited by Angie Abdou, associate professor at Athabasca University, and Jamie Dopp, shows that sport literature is never just about sport. The essays explore the human condition through themes like violence, gender, and embodiment, drawing on Canadian works from “Shoeless Joe” to “Indian Horse.”

“Not Hockey,” also edited by Abdou and Dopp, examines how Canadian literature expands the meaning of sport as metaphor and expression. Moving beyond hockey to skateboarding, fly fishing, and curling, the collection offers new ways of seeing Canadian culture.

“Hockey on the Moon,” written by Jamie Dopp, explores how fantasy and reality meet in Canadian hockey writing. Through works like “The Hockey Song,” the “Scrubs on Skates” series, “The Hockey Sweater,” and “Indian Horse,” Dopp reveals the imaginative spirit that makes the game so enduring.
