    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-15962-4 — The Cambridge Companion to Canadian Literature Edited by Eva-Marie Kröller Frontmatter More Information The Cambridge Companion to Canadian Literature This fully revised second edition of The Cambridge Companion to Canadian Literature offers a comprehensive introduction to major writers, genres, and topics. For this edition several chapters have been completely re-written to relect major developments in Canadian literature since 2004. Surveys of ic- tion, drama, and poetry are complemented by chapters on Aboriginal writ- ing, autobiography, literary criticism, writing by women, and the emergence of urban writing. Areas of research that have expanded since the irst edition include environmental concerns and questions of sexuality which are freshly explored across several different chapters. A substantial chapter on franco- phone writing is included. Authors such as Margaret Atwood, noted for her experiments in multiple literary genres, are given full consideration, as is the work of authors who have achieved major recognition, such as Alice Munro, recipient of the Nobel Prize for literature. Eva-Marie Kröller edited the Cambridge Companion to Canadian Literature (irst edn., 2004) and, with Coral Ann Howells, the Cambridge History of Canadian Literature (2009). She has published widely on travel writing and cultural semiotics, and won a Killam Research Prize as well as the Distin- guished Editor Award of the Council of Editors of Learned Journals for her work as editor of the journal Canadian
  • OAG Hearing on Interactions Between NYPD and the General Public Submitted Written Testimony

    OAG Hearing on Interactions Between NYPD and the General Public Submitted Written Testimony

    OAG Hearing on Interactions Between NYPD and the General Public Submitted Written Testimony Tahanie Aboushi | New York, New York I am counsel for Dounya Zayer, the protestor who was violently shoved by officer D’Andraia and observed by Commander Edelman. I would like to appear with Dounya to testify at this hearing and I will submit written testimony at a later time but well before the June 15th deadline. Thank you. Marissa Abrahams | South Beach Psychiatric Center | Brooklyn, New York As a nurse, it has been disturbing to see first-hand how few NYPD officers (present en masse at ALL peaceful protests) are wearing the face masks that we know are preventing the spread of COVID-19. Demonstrators are taking this extremely seriously and I saw NYPD literally laugh in the face of a protester who asked why they do not. It is negligent and a blatant provocation -especially in the context of the over-policing of Black and Latinx communities for social distancing violations. The complete disregard of the NYPD for the safety of the people they purportedly protect and serve, the active attacks with tear gas and pepper spray in the midst of a respiratory pandemic, is appalling and unacceptable. Aaron Abrams | Brooklyn, New York I will try to keep these testimonies as precise as possible since I know your office likely has hundreds, if not thousands to go through. Three separate occasions highlighted below: First Incident - May 30th - Brooklyn - peaceful protestors were walking from Prospect Park through the streets early in the day. At one point, police stopped to block the street and asked that we back up.

  • The Canadian Writer & the Iowa Experience

    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.
  • Abortion in Canadian Literature

    Abortion in Canadian Literature

    Citation for the following article: Jeff Koloze, “Abortion in Canadian Literature: Comparisons with American Literature and Canada’s Unique Contributions,” Proceedings of the Nineteenth University Faculty for Life Conference at the University of St. Thomas School of Law, Minneapolis MN (2009), ed. Joseph W. Koterski, S.J. (Washington, D.C.: University Faculty for Life, 2013), pp. 207-225. Abortion in Canadian Literature: Comparisons with American Literature and Canada’s Unique Contributions Jeff Koloze A BSTRACT: After reviewing the scholarship on abortion in twentieth- century Canadian fiction written in English, the essay discusses various abortion scenes in major Canadian works by comparing and contrasting them with major works from the United States. The essay then discusses post-abortion syndrome and illustrates passages in Canadian fiction on abortion where numerous characters display features of that syndrome. OCATING CANADIAN NOVELS concerned with abortion often approximates an archaeological dig since compilations of literary Lcriticism frequently obscure, minimize, or lack references to abortion. Margaret Atwood’s Survival: A Thematic Guide to Canadian Literature1 has much to say about babies being an inappropriate solution for a plot’s denouement, calling this technique the “Baby Ex Machina,”2 1 Margaret Atwood, Survival: A Thematic Guide to Canadian Literature (Toronto ON: McClelland & Stewart, 1972). 2 Atwood, Survival, p. 247. The “Baby Ex Machina” denouement is well- established in Canadian fiction. Frederick Philip Grove’s 1925 Settlers of the Marsh (Toronto ON: Penguin Canada,2006) ends with two instances of children bringing closure to an otherwise disastrous plot: Bobby, a young man befriended by Niels, the main character, and encouraged to do well, has five children; Ellen, the love of Niels’s life, realizes at novel’s end that she needs to be a mother (pp.

    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.

    Not the Story of Canadian Literature

    122 Not the Story of Canadian Literature Nick Mount, Arrival: The Story of CanLit. Toronto: Anansi, 2017. 374 pp. Eleven years ago now, Douglas Gibson published an opinion piece in The New York Times titled “What is CanLit?,” and in the second sentence wrote “Basically, but not always, CanLit is when the Canadian government pays you money to write about small towns and/or the immigration experience.” Later in the piece he added that “CanLit is the literary equivalent of representational landscape painting, with small forays into waterfowl depiction and still lifes.”1 Both these understandings are reflected in Nick Mount’s Arrival: The Story of CanLit, but with Mount appearing to like representational landscape painting much more than Gibson does. Both date the term’s usage to the 1960s, with Gibson writing “CanLit was invented in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s,” and Mount that The first recorded use of the term “Can.Lit.” is the title Earle Birney gave one of his poems in 1962 – a poem about its absence .... The next use is in a 1969 Globe and Mail column by William French ... “All of a sudden,” says French, “we’ve got CanLit coming out of our ears.” (293) There is some faint sarcasm attached to the term in both of Mount’s instances – the Birney points to the totalizing glibness of university jargon, and to the fact that in the case of Canadian literature even that was lacking (in his 1969 Collected Poems he dates the poem 1947/1966), and the French suggests that “we”-Canadians were being force-fed some dubious food.

The work explores the life of Ellis, Lotte, Diana John-John and Lauren as they wander through a variety of circumstances, which center on loss and grief. As the novel develops, the author loses control over her intentionality; the character’s she claims to know fuse together, leaving the reader to wonder if Lauren is synonymous with Ellis or if Diana is actually Lotte disguised by a signifier. Red, Yellow, Blue questions the author’s as well as the reader’s ability to understand the transformation that occurs in an individual during long periods of grief and anxiety.
