  • Introduction
    Introduction Imagine you’re invited to a party. You arrive at the venue, slip past security, and Margaret Atwood is there; so are Michael Ondaatje, Anne Carson, and Dionne Brand. CanLit’s luminaries surround you, and having never brushed elbows with so many prominent writers, you turn paparazzi and start taking photographs in earnest. Point and click—easy to tell who monopolizes the spotlight and who falls back. It’s only once you focus manually, looking for an unconventional angle, that you begin to notice others: a younger, more anonymous crowd pushing at the margins, trying to bypass the guest list. So you raise your camera to include them too, at least those close enough to see clearly. Some of the shots will turn out perfectly—balanced composition, candid expressions that capture the palpable energy of the event. Some won’t. The blur of time will seep in, poor exposure rendering the photographs unusable. You might think I’m describing a Griffin Poetry Prize gala. I am, of course, but this is also the plight of prospective anthologists. Working without the benefit of hindsight, anthologists are responsible for scouting talent in little magazines, hard-to-find books, and critical periodicals. Canonization is a gamble, and time and time again Canadian editors have either gone all in or hedged their bets, offering up both generation defining compilations and remixed versions of established texts. With New Provinces, F.R. Scott curated 13 The Next Wave the first essential anthology of Canadian poetry in 1936. Providing a platform for future icons like E.J.

Eat at home and buy the books. Jack Rabinovitch1 Founded in 1994 by Jack Rabinovitch, the Giller Prize was established to honour Rabinovitch’s late wife, the journalist Doris Giller, who had died from cancer a year earlier.2 Since its inception, the prize has served to recognize excellence in Canadian English-language fiction, including both novels and short stories. Initially the award was endowed to provide an annual cash prize of $25,000.3 In 2005, the Giller Prize partnered with Scotiabank to create the Scotiabank Giller Prize. Under the new arrangement, the annual purse doubled in size to $50,000, with $40,000 going to the winner and $2,500 going to each of four additional finalists.4 Beginning in 2008, $50,000 was given to the winner and $5,000 * Andrew Irvine holds the position of Professor and Head of Economics, Philosophy and Political Science at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan.

Copyright : 2012, Resource Links Contemporary Canadian Adult Books for Strong Teen Readers by Margaret Mackey with Gail de Vos, Heather Ganshorn, Ingrid Johnston, Jill Kedersha McClay, and Kristine Moruzi With this column, our eighteenth in an ongoing annual series, we present our pick of contemporary Canadian adult publishing that we believe has the potential to appeal to strong teenage readers. We began this work in 1996 believing that good teen readers were seriously under-served when it came to reading advice. Where should they go when they begin to come to the end of the road with young adult literature (as wonderful as much of that literature undoubtedly is)? Who provides guidance on the kinds of adult materials that might speak to a teenager? We saw a vacuum, and we have made efforts to step into that empty space ever since. As usual, our main selection criterion is that the book should have some kind of youth appeal. Middle-age crises need not apply to appear on these pages. We do not screen for strong language or graphic sex or violence; we assume that a confident teenage reader will not hesitate to put down a book if it does not appeal, for whatever reason.

  • Canadian Jewish Writing Rebecca Margolis
    2 1 Across the Border: Canadian Jewish Writing Rebecca Margolis Canadian Jewish literature has often been compared to its U.S. counterpart, for both geographic and cultural reasons. The two countries share a vast bor- der, are former English colonies with a continual use of that language, and have signifi cant immigrant populations. The two countries absorbed signif- icant numbers of Jewish immigrants, including a mass Eastern European immigration that was Yiddish speaking and working class. The comparison between the two countries should be natural, at least from a Canadian per- spective. However, rather than being a mini–United States, Canada has pro- duced a literature that has evolved its own very distinctive set of defi ning characteristics. Further, the dominating presence of the United States and its overshadowing infl uence on Canada in terms of literature, theater, lm,fi and music are indisputable, and Canadian culture is oft subsumed into the larger category of “American.” Canada’s Jewish writers are confl ated with U.S. writ- ers or neglected altogether . Michael Greenstein’s study Third Solitudes sug- gests marginality as a key feature of Jewish Canadian literature. 1 Intertwining historical realities have informed Canada’s cultural identity and the literature that its Jewish writers have produced. The ideological foun- dation of the country is a French-English bilingualism that dates to its roots as a European colony, and the dynamics of that uneasy duality have permeated the country’s cultural development. Unlike the United States, Canada was not born out of revolution and rejection of the British Empire that dominated it.

  • QC Fiction in EN
    QUEBEC FICTIO I EGLISH DURIG THE 1980S: 1 A CASE STUDY I MARGIALITY Linda Leith I The unique position of Quebec writers in the English language 2 and the peculiarities of the fiction they have been publishing during the 1980s are best understood in the light of recent socio-political and cultural changes within Quebec and in Canada as a whole. Caught up as no other English-Canadian writers have been caught up in the maelstrom of change, and living as no other English-Canadian writers live in a society with a French face, these writers have produced a body of work quite distinct in some ways from other contemporary English-Canadian fiction. Much of my thinking about this writing is inspired by recent work on the formation of literary canons and on the literary production of marginal social groups. It owes a particular debt to the work of Raymond Williams, who devoted much of his career to exploring the possibilities of discussing English literature and society together while respecting the uniqueness of specific texts. This is a debt not only to Williams's most general observation that "as a society changes, its literature changes" (1965, 268), and to his comments on the formation of a literary tradition, but also to his suggestive, though not wholly applicable, account of the interrelations between dominant and alternative or oppositional aspects at a given historical moment. Williams's distinction between two different kinds of alternatives on a status quo, which he terms the "residual" and the "emergent" (1977, 121-27), is helpful in discussions of the cultural manifestations of the middle class in nineteenth century Britain; it is not applicable in the present context of English Quebec fiction, which requires an assessment of a social group linked not along class lines but rather along linguistic and cultural lines.
