I would also thank Dr. Anna Jakabfi for her assistance with the Canadian content of the dissertation, the cornucopia of short stories she has provided me with, and for her painstaking endeavours to continually update the Canadian Studies section of the ELTE-SEAS library with books that were indispensable for my research. I am also grateful to Dr. Istán Géher, Dr. Géza Kállay, Dr. Péter Dávidházi and Dr. Judit Friedrich, whose courses inspired many of the ideas put forward in the second chapter of the dissertation (“Short Story Text and Weather Image”). I would also like to express my gratitude to the Central European Association of Canadian Studies for the conference grant that made it possible for me to deliver a presentation in the topic of my dissertation at the 2nd IASA Congress and Conference in Ottawa in 2005, to the Embassy of Canada in Hungary, especially Robert Hage, Pierre Guimond, Agnes Pust, Yvon Turcotte, Katalin Csoma and Enikő Lantos, for their on-going support, to the Royal Canadian Geographic Society and Environment Canada for providing me with materials and information regarding the geographical-climatological findings included in my dissertation, and, last but not least, to the chief organisers of the “Canada in the European Mind” series of conferences, Dr.

    Peter Gzowski Interviews Thomas King o n Green Grass, Running Water* ρ G Over the past couple of years Thomas King has popped up on Morningside fr o m time to time, usually along with a couple of other people, to talk about what's new in fiction by Native authors. This morning he's here to talk about a book of his own. The book is Gr e e n Grass, Running Water. I 've already raved about it today. Thomas King is in our Calgary studio. M o r n in g. τ κ Morning. ρ G Now, yo u wouldn't have heard my opening remarks because it's still too—we haven't crossed into Alberta yet, but boy, I felt like I was talking cover blurb stuff. I love this book. τ κ Oh, wonderful! ρ G Well, who doesn't? I've never seen such reviews, either! τ κ Well, they've been okay so far. I tend to be pragmatic about those things and just sort of hold my breath, bu t so far the reviews have been good. ρ G I have to confess it took me a little while to slide into it, you know, I was warmed up and I said, "Oh no, t h is is another on e—it'll be too compli cated for me—too abstruse and too magical"—and then all of a sudden I sort of glided in and I found myself laughing and having a wonderful time. τ κ Good, we l l , that's partly what the book is supposed to do, I suppose, is to ..

After years of critical acclaim, it has finally broken into the popular international market with four Penguin releases. Rosemary Sullivan has written the introduction to the reissue of a collection of Sara Jeannette Duncan's stories set in India, The Pool in the Desert, first published in 1903. The authors themselves introduce the other three collections. W.P. Kinsella's The Thrill of the Grass capitalises on the mix of baseball and magic that made Shoeless Joe such a success. Norman Levine's Champagne Barn covers the wider range of his work, while remaining in his own words largely 'autobiography written as fiction'.

  • Circulating Genres and the Emergence of a Transcontinental Postmodern
    CIRCULATING GENRES AND THE EMERGENCE OF A TRANSCONTINENTAL POSTMODERN R EINGARD M. N ISCHIK Two Nations, One Genre? The Beginnings of the Modernist Short Story in the United States and Canada In view of the fact that there is no comparative study of the American and Canadian short story yet,1 I want to focus, in this article, on the state of the short story in both countries at one particular period of time, the crucial pe- riod of the beginnings of modernism. This means that I will deal with the period of the American short story that was dominated by writers from the Midwest (Sherwood Anderson, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald) ra- ther than by Southern writers, who came to the foreground in the Southern Renaissance2 as of the 1930s (Katherine Anne Porter, William Faulkner, Eu- dora Welty, Flannery O'Connor). I will thus be interested in the period of “high modernism” around World War I and the 1920s, and I hope that my comparative approach to the North American short story at this particular developmental stage will provide a useful historical context for several es- says in this volume that deal with later North American short story writers. I understand “modernism” as a periodizing concept within the arts, here a literary period of international relevance which is characterized by a net- work of interrelated historical, technological, intellectual, and aesthetic de- velopments, and which resulted in innovative interrelated forms and styles of expressions in the arts and literature. Since the fundamental transfor- mation of societies of the western hemisphere as of the late 19th century was a multinational phenomenon, including an increasing traffic of all kinds (also intellectual and artistic) across regional boundaries, questions of (cultural, literary) similarities, commonalities, and differences between different cul- tural regions arise.

  • Take Your Order ... ?
    TAKE YOUR ORDER ... ? FORTUNATELY, even when one has to accept them, it is still not necessary to agree with all the decisions a committee makes. With this bro- mide, I swallowed the announcement of the Governor-General's English-language fiction finalists for 1980; and I put the information away in that corner one keeps for forgettable facts. I miscalculated. The information stewed. And I kept return- ing to that stubborn simple question: why them? One never, of course, knows exactly why any committee makes the judgments it does. But inevitably, in a literary contest, the judgments are comparative; and given the options the com- mittee had for 1980, the decision seems a curious skew of critical attitude and (perhaps) public taste. The three finalists were Susan Musgrave's The Charcoal Burners, George Bowering's Burning Water (which went on to win the award), and Leon Rooke's Fat Woman. The first of these is a disjointed fantasy about social inequality and sadism towards women. The second is another fantasy — of the sort that has lately been called "narcissistic fiction" — which reinvents one George Bowering, who in turn (as character and author) reinvents the history of Captain George Van- couver and his surgeon Menzies : all of which constitutes a clever idea in tech- nique, all of which ends in ahistorical violence, all of which is marred by the crude anachronisms and deliberate contrivance, and none of which is therefore transformed beyond cleverness into literature. The third novel is a moderately successful and intelligent rendering of an unusual domestic life. All three writers have written better works.

  • En Route: Narratives of Travel and Displacement in Contemporary Canadian Writing
    JOURNAL OF ENGLISH STUDIES - VOLUME 3, (2001-2), 21-35 EN ROUTE: NARRATIVES OF TRAVEL AND DISPLACEMENT IN CONTEMPORARY CANADIAN WRITING PEDRO CARMONA RODRÍGUEZ Universidad de La Laguna ABSTRACT. From a fictional as well as a theoretical point of view, the present interest in travel is a consequence of the increasing relevance of postcolonial discourses and the ongoing processes of cultural transference and globalisation. These phenomena have resulted in a re-conceptualisation of notions of identity, location, place and site, which foster, in turn, the rethinking of terms like home, margin and periphery. Most of these have been targeted by post-structuralist and postcolonial theories in their attempt at disrupting unified and imperialist conceptions of subjectivity and place. In Canadian fiction, the abiding relativism affecting notions of culture and nation elaborated on binary pairs is laid bare by physical and metaphorical displacement. This paper examines the arena of de/re-territorialisation provided by travel and displacement in a number of Canadian fictions. Many contemporary Canadian narratives are cohesively joined by the recurrent motifs of travel and displacement, paralleling the geographical movement to a re-organisation of identity paradigms at personal, cultural and national levels. Hence, the sample of Canadian writing presented here exhibits a concern with journeying as destabilization of unified subjectivity, mirroring, in this way, much of the debate of contemporary theory. Once you cross a border, the border is not the same any longer. -Erin Mouré In her book Questions of Travel: Postmodern Discourses of Displacement (2000 [1996]), Caren Kaplan claims that the contemporary emphasis on 21 PEDRO CARMONA RODRÍGUEZ movement and travel has been prompted by the increasing relevance of postcolonial discourses (2000: 2)1.
