  • THE ONE and the MANY English-Canadian Short Story Cycles
    THE ONE AND THE MANY English-Canadian Short Story Cycles Gerald Lynch 'VER THE PAST HUNDRED years the short story cycle has Q 1 become something of a sub-genre within the Canadian short story. This is not to argue that the story cycle has been ignored by American and British writers ( or by French, Australian, and Russian writers, or, for that matter, by the writers of any other national literature) — it hasn't — only that the form has held a special at- traction for Canadian writers. Doubtless there are shared reasons for the story cycle's current popularity internationally and in Canada, even such commercial reasons as its attraction for publishers who assume that readers are more comfort- able with the linkages of the cycle than with the discontinuities of a miscellany. But such matters are not within this paper's literary-historical and theoretical scope. The present study sketches the history of the story cycle in Canada, gives an idea of its diversity and continuing popularity, considers some of the fundamental ques- tions about this comparatively new form, and concludes with an illustrative analysis of the function of one important aspect of story cycles, their concluding stories. Although the short story is the youngest of genres, beginning only in the early nineteenth century, literary historians and theorists often begin their discussions by casting back to the Story of Job, even to pre-literate oral history, so that the epic poems of various cultures are made to seem proto short story cycles.2 Thus aca- demics dress their new subject in the respectable robes of a literary history.

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.

  • CANOEING MAHONE BAY, NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA Canada's Ocean
    CANOEING MAHONE BAY, NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA Canada's ocean playground After speeding around the province of Nova Scotia in two 400-mile trips (for a total of 832 miles) during the summers of 2003/04 (see my website for details of those canoe trips), I had made a note to return to Mahone Bay at a later date for some serious gunkholing in that large island-studded bay. It is a truly spectacular area, sporting about 365 islands, one new island for every day of the year, if you wish. And if you believe the Sailing Directions (see notes), you are also apt to find better than usual boating weather here than along the rest of Nova Scotia's shores. "During fogs, which are frequent in July and August, the SW shore of Mahone Bay is usually clear with winds west of south". If that does not sound perfect for an early August fun paddle, I don't know what does. No wonder Canadians consider Nova Scotia "Canada's ocean playground", and Mahone Bay personifies that designation. You find it a tad to the south of Halifax, and it stretches from the Tancook Islands, the town of Chester, all the way down to the fishing port of Lunenburg, home of the famous Grand Banks sailing schooner Bluenose, memorialized on the Canadian dime. To make this trip even more fun, I put my sleek, carbon fiber solo outrigger canoe on my car roof, instead of my heftier touring Sea Wind sea canoe. Nancy had found a lovely place for us just outside the tiny town of Mahone Bay, right on the water.
