(re)Pebbling: A Story of Blackness and Curling is a sharp, stylish, and soul-stirring glide through the unspoken rules of curling, a winter sport that is overwhelmingly white.
Intimate reflections from the life of Richard Norman, brought to life by the art of Jon Olbey, set the stage for the chilly welcome racialized players face at the curling rink and the unnerving murmur of lounge talk. This graphic novel cracks open the culture of the sport to ask questions about its future and whether clubs are willing to do the work to make their spaces inclusive.
(re)Pebbling is narrated through the eyes of racialized players questioning tradition and the future of Canadian-ness and Canadian sports. With equal parts insight and irreverence, the book reimagines curling as a site of cultural collision, a space where the house isn’t always a home, and the ice holds stories most haven’t dared to tell. In a visual journey through the world of sport you didn’t know you needed, author Richard Norman honestly reflects on our past, boldly interrogates our present, and dares to imagines what real belonging in sport could look like.
