Question 3 was “What is the greatest benefit of physical activity?” They are probably still puzzling over my ready answer: “It fosters an ability to appre- ciate poetry.” “Oh,” they said smiling demurely, “that’s a good answer.” Just before the shy questioners appeared, I’d been reading and re-reading Robert Kroetsch’s “Listening to the Radio: For Michael Ondaatje.” Kroetsch recreates a time when “Hockey Night in Canada” was pure sound, sound only, and the poetry of hockey was only a listening.

  • Writing Here1
    WRITING HERE1 W.H. NEW n 2003, for the BC Federation of Writers, Susan Musgrave assembled a collection of new fiction and poetry from some fifty-two IBC writers, called The FED Anthology.2 Included in this anthology is a story by Carol Matthews called “Living in ascii,” which begins with a woman recording her husband’s annoyance at whatever he sees as stupidity (noisy traffic and inaccurate grammar, for instance, and the loss of his own words when his computer apparently swallows them). This woman then tells of going to a party, of the shifting (and sometimes divisive) relationships among all the women who were attending, and of the subjects they discussed. These included a rape trial, national survival, men, cliffs, courage, cormorant nests, and endangered species. After reflecting on the etymology of the word “egg” (and its connection with the word “edge”), she then declares her impatience with schisms and losses, and her wish to recover something whole. The story closes this way: “If I were to tell the true story, I would write it not in words but in symbols, [like an] ... ascii printout. It would be very short and very true. It would go like this: moon, woman, woman; man, bird, sun; heart, heart, heart, heart, heart; rock, scissors, paper. The title would be egg. That would be the whole story.”3 This egg is the prologue to my comments here. So is the list of disparate nouns – or only seemingly disparate, in that (by collecting them as she does) the narrator connects them into story.

The novel begins in 1917 with the death of Mary, the first novel’s main character, and focuses on the father of her child, Moreland. He sets out to steal enough cash to give his son a comfortable life. But their boy, who has his parents’ stubbornness and itch for self- sufficiency, doesn’t stay put for long. READ OUR INTERVIEW WITH AUTHOR GIL ADAMSON Homeland Elegies AYAD AKHTAR (LITTLE, BROWN AND COMPANY) This novel by the Pulitzer-winning author of Disgraced provocatively blends fact and fiction, paradox and contradiction, appearing to be a memoir of a man with the same name and pedigree as its author – a Pulitzer-winning American playwright of Pakistani-Muslim extraction whose father, a doctor, became enamoured with Donald Trump after treating him for a heart ailment, and then disillusioned after he assumes the presidency.

The decolonization which followed the Second World War is reflected in the rapid evolution of literature in the erstwhile colonies as an expression of new realities and a new national political order. Postcolonial theory came into its own as a revisionist project of the early 1990s, dominated until recently by Indian intellectuals and informed by a trinity which comprises Edward Said, Gayatri C. Spivak, and Homi K. Bhabha. Postcolonial theory, as epistemology, ethics, and politics, deals with matters of identity, gender, race, racism, ethnicity, and culture as well as facing the challenge of developing a Post- colonial national identity. Homi K. Bhabha, coined the term „Hybridity‟, which describes the emergence of new cultural forms from multiculturalism. Instead of seeing colonialism as something locked in the past, Bhabha shows how its histories and cultures constantly intrude on the present, demanding that we must transform our understanding of cross-cultural relations.
