Recent Praise for Anansi Graphic Novels FICTION MonthFebruary CARRYTITLE ME Subtitle AUTHORPETER NAMEBEHRENS Lead“A truly quote wonderful — credit writer.” — Montreal Gazette Billy Lange is born in 1909 on the Isle of Wight, England, where his father is the skipper of a racing yacht belonging to a wealthy German-Jewish baron. As a child, Billy is entranced by the baron’s daughter, the elusive and willful Karin von Wein- brenner. After the First World War, Karin and Billy are reunited on the baron’s Frankfurt estate, where they bond over their fascination with the Wild West novels of Karl May, the most popular author in the German language. Over the years, Billy and Karin’s childhood friendship deepens and transforms into a complex love affair with extraordinarily high stakes. Com- ing of age in Frankfurt and Berlin, Billy and Karin share a passion for speed, jazz, and nightclubs. As society loses its moral bearings and Germany marches toward the Second World War, they also share a dream of escape — from Germany, from history — to El Llano Estacado, May’s richly imag- ined New Mexico landscape.

When a retired actor who frequents a city park is purported to be transitioning from man to deer, municipal authorities in St. John’s, Newfoundland, find themselves confronted by an exasperatingly dif- ficult problem. Complications mount as advocates, bureaucrats, police, and local politicians try to cor- ral the situation, which escalates into an even bigger problem after the story blows up on Facebook. Leading the charge is the mayor himself. A former professional hockey player and local hero, Mayor Matt Olford is juggling a number of person- al challenges on top of his city’s man-deer problem: his wife has become a born-again Christian and he’s found himself attracted to one of his colleagues at City Hall.

Sixteen-year-old Flannery Malone has it bad. She’s been in love with Tyrone O’Rourke since the days she still be- lieved in Santa Claus. Now Tyrone has grown from a dorky, friendless kid into an outlaw graffiti artist, the rebel-with-a- cause of Flannery’s dreams. Which is a problem, since he and Flannery are partners for the entrepreneurship class that she needs to pass in order to graduate. Tyrone isn’t Flannery’s only problem. Her mother, Miran- da, can’t pay the heating bills, let alone buy Flannery’s biol- ogy book. Her little brother, Felix (a.k.a. Thinks Malone), is careening out of control. And her best-friend-since-forever, Amber, has fallen for a guy who is making her forget all about the things she’s always cared about most — Flannery included — leading Amber down a dark and dangerous path. When Flannery decides to make a love potion for her entre- preneurship project, rumours that it actually works go viral and JUVENILE FICTION / General she suddenly has a hot commodity on her hands.

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.

  • The Canadian Writer & the Iowa Experience
    THE CANADIAN WRITER & THE IOWA EXPERIENCE Anthony Bukoski Τ PURPOSE OF THIS PAPER IS TWO-FOLD: to try to piece together from interviewlHsE and correspondence I have had with a number of Canadian authors — twenty-seven to be exact — a sort of general history, a chronological overview of their involvement in the Iowa Writers' Workshop, and to try to assess the significance of that involvement not only to the writers them- selves but to Canadian literature in general. I intend hedging a bit by including some writers who became Canadians only after leaving Iowa.1 Could so many writers have studied at the same institution in the United States without its having left some mark? What attitudes about teaching creative writing or the commitment to the writer's life and craft did they form? Given the method of Workshop investigation, the fragile egos of most young writers, and the fact that the Workshop is in another country, not all of them profited from the experi- ence of studying at Iowa. Speaking of her experiences there in the late 1950's, for instance, Carol Johnson, who teaches at the University of Victoria, noted, "Writ- ers on the whole seem notorious for their unhappiness. Legends of particularly unhappy types prevailed [though not necessarily Canadians]. Since writers are apparently predisposed to neurosis, it would be safe to assume that most of them would be unhappy anywhere."2 Those who were satisfied found the programme valuable, the atmosphere con- ducive to work — though perhaps neither so attractive nor congenial as the main character finds Iowa in W.

  • House of Anansi's Spiderline Editions
    Document généré le 30 sept. 2021 01:39 Studies in Canadian Literature / Études en littérature canadienne Tracing the Web: House of Anansi’s Spiderline Editions Stephen Cain Volume 25, numéro 1, spring 2000 Résumé de l'article Established in 1969, the House of Anansi Press's Spiderline series represents a URI : https://id.erudit.org/iderudit/scl25_1art07 unique moment in Canadian publishing history. At no time previously had a Canadian publisher attempted to release the work of so many unknown and Aller au sommaire du numéro untried novelists simultaneously and also emphasize the fact that these were first, and perhaps not perfect, novels. Anansi's goals for the Spiderline series were to let new voices be heard, to give first-time novelists a chance at Éditeur(s) publication, and to get it done quickly by producing each of the Spiderlines with the same Spartan cover and identical typeface. All of the first five writers The University of New Brunswick published — Peter Such, Russell Marois, Matt Cohen, John Sandman, and Pierre Gravel — were white, male, and no older than thirty. With its diverse collection ISSN of authors, experimental styles, and youthful enthusiasm for the new, the local, and the bilingual the original Spiderline books were the vision of Dennis Lee 0380-6995 (imprimé) and David Godfrey at a time of great patriotism and literary expansion. The 1718-7850 (numérique) decision to reintroduce the Spiderline series in the late 1990s can be viewed as an attempt to regain Anansi's earlier status as a "progressive" and unique Découvrir la revue publishing enterprise.
