(PDF) Savage Banquet By Alainn Charles
Sale Price: $0.00 Original Price: $3.00

Our first release! Alainn Charles pulls no punches in capturing the impact of the moment in this, her first published collection. A modern and at times violent take on haiku, Savage Banquet examines the fleeting nature of sense experience, the beauty and insufficiency of language, and the indelible marks left behind when a subject and world collide. A fitting introduction to a new voice you will be hearing more from in the near future.

Clarice Lispector Tee
$25.00

This entire venture could be justified as an excuse to print a Clarice Lispector shirt!

One of Alainn’s (and our) favorite authors, Clarice was truly one of a kind, and this image of her is a favorite of ours. The text was pulled from a forthcoming work of Alainn’s and is the icing on the cake.

The ideal garment to rep Uncanny Object (and your excellent taste) while reading, writing, lounging, running errands, going to class, or just behaving like an amoral degenerate.

Hand screen printed to order in BC, Canada on natural (off-white) cotton tees.

Clarice Lispector Tote
$15.00

We like merch, but we LOVE Clarice!

One of Alainn’s favorite authors, Clarice was truly one of a kind, and this image of her is a favorite of ours. The text was pulled from a forthcoming work of Alainn’s and is the icing on the cake.

Put your books, fresh produce, laptop, water bottle, crowbar, bolt cutters, six pack, smokes, whatever in it. But, be prepared to get attention. With the Uncanny Object logo and the smoking hot pic of Clarice, it’s kind of hard to miss!

Hand screen printed to order in BC, Canada on natural cotton totes.

Black-and-white optical illusion of a woman's silhouette with the words “woman” and “object.”

We only Print What We Want to read.

Facing a shortage of new books that excited us, we decided to publish our own. We’d love to publish yours too!

This isn’t a typical publishing house. We’re friends working with friends to give life to ideas that would otherwise never see the light of day. We do this because we want to. We do this because we can.

What we’re reading (That we didn’t Print)

Yellow book titled “Lydia Tomkiw Poems,” edited by Dan Shepelavy, on a dark wooden surface.
Cover of Saint Augustine's Confessions, Oxford World's Classics edition, photographed on a wooden table
Book cover of Italo Calvino's T Zero on a wooden surface
Book cover of Milan Kundera's The Art of the Novel on a wooden table.

What’s on Your Mind?

Question about one of our projects or an idea for a new one? Want updates on new releases? Praise? Hate mail? We’re here for it!
