  • Strange Heaven
    189CanLitSummer2006-5 10/4/06 10:24 Page 85 Herb Wyile As For Me and Me Arse Strategic Regionalism and the Home Place in Lynn Coady’s Strange Heaven The narrative of a sensitive soul struggling to survive in a claustrophobic small town is so ubiquitous in Canadian literature as to be practically consonant with it. Think of, for starters, Margaret Laurence’s Manawaka novels, W.O. Mitchell’s Who Has Seen the Wind and (perhaps the pinnacle of the genre) Sinclair Ross’s As For Me and My House. That claustrophobia, furthermore, is often compounded by the dynamics of the dysfunctional family, as in Martha Ostenso’s Wild Geese, Alden Nowlan’s Various Persons Named Kevin O’Brien, and, more recently, Lynn Coady’s Strange Heaven (1998). However, as much as we might be inclined to read such preoccupations as defining the larger national literary culture, those preoccupations (as with so much else in Canada) are shot through with regional differences that complicate the unity that such shared concerns suggest. Coady’s novel, for example, which is about a Cape Breton teenager who returns from a spell in a psychiatric ward to her “cuckoo’s nest” of a family after giving up her baby for adoption, can certainly be seen as a sig- nificant and overlooked comic addition to these Canadian specialties. However, whereas typically the critique of the small town implicitly invites the critical gaze of the outsider, Strange Heaven turns that gaze back on the observer in a fashion that foregrounds the cultural politics between centre and periphery.

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.
