Conundrum’s Fall 2025 Lineup
Conundrum Press is thrilled to announce an exciting fall 2025 lineup, with five exciting books from both established and emerging artists!
SEPTEMBER
Kicking off the fall season is Zoé Jusseret’s stunning About the Little Ones, a modern tale full of rage and poetry, an ode to the capacity for transformation and self-determination of women and young girls. During a trip to a wonderful land dominated by tool creatures, two little girls go to war against productivism and the standards imposed on them. They transform themselves, find refuge and advice from their elders, take care of their sisters and their dead. They thus discover the power of sisterhood, and with it another relationship within themselves, to nature, to death. They will become giant, furious, ready to destroy everything.
Zoé Jusseret works in collage and monotype. Line or patterns are obtained by transfer, cut out, glued and added to form landscapes. Each print bears the precise trace of a gesture, retaining the intensity and texture of the layers of paint. In this wordless story, contemplation and lyricism naturally find their place.
Next up is Mollie Cronin’s Future Me is Fat, another title in the Conundrum 25 series, about a fat girl’s time-travel escapades through space, time, and diet culture. Told through sci-fi and autofiction, our heroine visits past selves, family histories, and distant futures to confront diet and body trends for some big fat adventures of her own.
In Let the Good Times Roll, Veronica Post’s third book with Conundrum Press, readers are invited to join the Post family for a vacation à la wheelchair! See how disabled travellers and their loved ones come up with creative solutions while navigating barriers abroad. Designed to expose the reality of travel in a wheelchair to able-bodied readers, this book fosters greater understanding and change toward a more inclusive world. Let the Good Times Roll is a title in the Conundrum 25 series.
OCTOBER
In October we start with Dakota McFadzean’s Fever Dream, a Conundrum 25 title about parents caring for a sick child. It’s partly a visual exploration of the experience and sensations of a fever dream, and partly an expression of the kind of heightened anxiety caregivers feel, particularly since the pandemic began. The ever-present background fears about health care, institutional erosion, and the uncertain future are intersected with the immediacy of the screaming, spiralling nightmare of the child.
Wrapping up October we have emerging artist Vivi Partridge’s Quiet Crossings, a fresh and heartfelt title from Conundrum’s Young Adult imprint EMANATA. After crashing her car in the unfamiliar countryside Selena agrees to help out at the nearby Inn in exchange for a room. Located on the edge of the world, the Inn attracts extraordinary customers from near and far. The most popular attraction is the complimentary ferry ride to the Great Unknown, a mysterious shore past the edge of the world. But when no one ever travels back, Selena begins to feel uneasy. Is the innkeeper Alice really as nice as she seems? What secret does the ferryman hold? And should Selena be packing her bags and hailing the nearest taxi? One thing’s for sure: Selena’s never had a job like this before.
