He supported me in stressful times and patiently helped me to sort out my ideas about and reflections on Canadian literature. He introducing me to the vast field of First Nations literature, shared his insights and provided me with his advice and encouragements to develop the skills necessary for literary analysis. I am further indebted to express thanks to the ‘DLE Forschungsservice und Internationale Beziehungen’, who helped me complete my degree by attributing some funding to do research at the University of Victoria, British Columbia. I also wish to address special thanks to Prof. Misao Dean from the University of Victoria for letting me join some inspiring discussions in her ‘Core Seminar on Literatures of the West Coast’, which gave me the opportunity to exchange ideas with other students working in the field of Canadian literature. Lastly, I warmly thank my parents Dr. Hubert and Anna Zinöcker for their devoted emotional support and advice, and for sharing their knowledge and experience with me throughout my education.

    T h b e u H P u d mminbir 1 Welcome to the 7th annual Galiano Literary Festival! As we move into our 7th Annual Galiano Literary Festival, we are again excited and pleased to welcome authors and readers, first-time attendees and returning guests, and local residents and visitors from near and far. This year’s lineup of authors is again a stellar one and we are very pleased with the great diversity of authors who will be joining us. You will hear and meet authors across the spectrum, from first- published authors to authors with over 50 years of writing experience and numerous books to their credit, from poets to biographers to historians to, of course, fiction writers, and from tragedy to comedy. We believe that one of the best features of our festival is that readers are given the chance to see writers they have read and admired for years while at the same time discovering new and exciting authors with whose work they are unfamiliar. And, of course, an especially unique feature of the festival is that readers don’t just get to hear these authors, they get to talk to them in a casual and informal atmosphere. Those who have attended past festivals often comment on this opportunity to rub elbows or perhaps have a drink with the authors and fellow readers as the best part of their experience. Past attendees also often comment on the very special nature of the festival venue. Whether you stay at the Galiano Oceanfront Inn & Spa throughout the festival or venture out into the forests and seashores of Galiano Island, you are bound to find the serenity and beauty of the surroundings enchanting and captivating.
