  • Writing Here1
    WRITING HERE1 W.H. NEW n 2003, for the BC Federation of Writers, Susan Musgrave assembled a collection of new fiction and poetry from some fifty-two IBC writers, called The FED Anthology.2 Included in this anthology is a story by Carol Matthews called “Living in ascii,” which begins with a woman recording her husband’s annoyance at whatever he sees as stupidity (noisy traffic and inaccurate grammar, for instance, and the loss of his own words when his computer apparently swallows them). This woman then tells of going to a party, of the shifting (and sometimes divisive) relationships among all the women who were attending, and of the subjects they discussed. These included a rape trial, national survival, men, cliffs, courage, cormorant nests, and endangered species. After reflecting on the etymology of the word “egg” (and its connection with the word “edge”), she then declares her impatience with schisms and losses, and her wish to recover something whole. The story closes this way: “If I were to tell the true story, I would write it not in words but in symbols, [like an] ... ascii printout. It would be very short and very true. It would go like this: moon, woman, woman; man, bird, sun; heart, heart, heart, heart, heart; rock, scissors, paper. The title would be egg. That would be the whole story.”3 This egg is the prologue to my comments here. So is the list of disparate nouns – or only seemingly disparate, in that (by collecting them as she does) the narrator connects them into story.

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.

  • Urban Archaeology in Michael Redhill's Toronto Novel Consolation
    Urban Archaeology in Michael Redhill’s Toronto Novel Consolation Meeria Vesala University of Tampere Faculty of Communication Sciences Master’s Programme in English Language and Literature MA Thesis May 2018 Tampereen yliopisto Viestintätieteiden tiedekunta Englannin kielen ja kirjallisuuden maisterikoulutus VESALA, MEERIA: Urban Archaeology in Michael Redhill’s Toronto Novel Consolation Pro Gradu -tutkielma, 117 sivua + lähdeluettelo Toukokuu 2018 Tutkielmani käsittelee urbaanin arkeologian tematiikkaa ja arkeologian metaforista sekä käsitteellistä merkitystä kanadalaisessa kaupunkikirjallisuudessa. Tutkimusaineistoni keskiössä on Michael Redhillin Torontoon sijoittuva historiallinen kaupunkiromaani Consolation (2006), jota analysoin ensisijaisesti kirjassa esitetyn tarinan ilmentämän tilallisuuden kautta. Romaanin tapahtumat eivät ole ainoastaan sidoksissa tiettyyn aikaan (1857/1997) ja paikkaan (Toronto), kuten kirjallisuudentutkimuksessa on usein tapana ymmärtää, vaan lähtökohtaisesti itse ympäristö tuottaa tilallisia tapahtumaketjuja, jotka ohjaavat kaupunkilaisten tottumuksia, tuntemuksia ja toimintaa eri elämänalueilla. Romaanin urbaani tila, miljoonakaupunki Ontario-järven rannalla, on havainnollistava esimerkki ajan ja paikan jatkuvasta yhteentörmäyksestä ja muutoksesta, joka on nähtävissä niin todellisen kuin kuvitellun kaupungin kuvassa. Toronton muodonmuutos pienestä rajaseudun kylästä tunnetuksi maailman metropoliksi viimeisen puolentoista vuosisadan aikana viestittää paikan ainutlaatuisesta olemuksesta ja luonteesta, minkä

This newest, for example, stems from an obituary, from which she creates a life story. In this book, she both explores both the real life and creates the imagined internal life of the famous salmon-ly dresser, Megan Boyd, who worked for 60 years in the north of Scotland.
