His mother and father are both craftspeople: she, a weaver; he, a carpenter. The family lived near Lake Ontario, and Bock remembers his father building a sailboat in their basement, an experience that later influenced his short story collection,Olympia . There were few English-language books in his childhood home, so becoming a writer wasn’t Bock’s original career choice. As a boy, he dreamed of being a marine biologist. During high school, however, he got caught up in the magic of Gulliver’s Travels. “It was the first book I read with the understanding that someone’s mind had put all those words together— that someone’s imagination had constructed something that didn’t exist before.” After studying English and philosophy for three years at the University of Western Ontario, Bock set off for Spain. Wanderlust, he says, took him there. “Spain was the setting of some of my favourite stories and novels. I had a preconceived, literary notion of what it would look like. Of course, it was totally different.” He also wanted to experience dislocation and immigration, “to break down my elements.” While living in Madrid, Bock taught English as a foreign language and wrote short fiction.

  • The Use of Weather Images by Canadian Ethnic Short Story Writers
    Weronika Suchacka Motherhood and the Mother-Daughter Relations in Janice Kulyk Keefer’s The Ladies’ Lending Library Judit Nagy Károli Gáspár University of the Hungarian Reformed Church, Budapest, Hungary 45 The Use of Weather Images by Canadian Ethnic Short Story Writers Abstract The article features Canadian ethnic writers’ use of weather images and involves the discussion of some numerical insights as well as the examination of such qualitative markers as image role. It will be demonstrated through the contrastive analysis of the weather images employed in a sample of classic (1945-1979) and contemporary Canadian mainstream and ethnic (1980-2000) short stories that, going hand in hand with literary globalization, multiculturalism is an influential factor forming the fictional weather scene. Résumé L’article s’occupe de l’utilisation des images de temps dans les nouvelles canadiennes multiculturelles. Il présente des résultats numériques ainsi que des observations qualitatives comme le rôle des images. Ceux-ci nous amenent à conclure que, en tandem, le multiculturalisme et la globalisation littéraire sont des facteurs importants quant à la formation de la scène de temps littéraire. 1. Introduction The present article aims at examining Canadian ethnic short story writers’ use of weather im- ages, both with regard to quantitative and qualitative features, and in contrast to classic and contemporary Canadian mainstream writers. Factors which may facilitate “literary weather change” include multiculturalism, literary globalization and, through the alteration of the regional weather map, perhaps even global warming, as my earlier research results seem to hint. The current article will offer an attempt at estimating to what extent the first factor contributes to the process.
