To that end, I would like to draw your attention to some of the outstanding accomplishments and developments that have taken place for our authors over the last few months: Clifford Jackman’s debut, The Winter Family, has been longlisted for the 2015 Scotiabank Giller Prize. Published by Doubleday in the US, Heyne in Germany and a “New Face of Fiction” for Random House Canada, The Winter Family was called “sadistic but mesmerizing” by The New York Times Book Review, a “chilling tale” by Publishers’ Weekly, and “a philosophical spaghetti western that doesn’t stint on the tomato sauce, served up with flair” by Quill & Quire. Reviewers have repeatedly put Jackman in the company of Cormac McCarthy and James Carlos Blake, and Amazon chose The Winter Family as a Best Mystery/Thriller/Suspense for the Month of April 2015. Chris Gerolmo, seven- time Academy Award nominated screenwriter of ‘Mississippi Burning’ is writing the film adaptation of The Winter Family. Giller Prize-winner Elizabeth Hay is back and at the top of her game with an irresistible new novel, His Whole Life.

    Deep Map Country: Proposing a Dinnseanchas Cycle of the Northern Plains Susan Naramore Maher n 1962, Wallace Stegner published a remarkable non-fiction nar- rative, so innovative in structure that he had to subtitle this work A History, a Story, and a Memory of the Last Plains Frontier. While Iother non-fiction milestones from the northern Great Plains, including Walter Prescott Webb’s The Great Plains (1931) and Loren Eiseley’s The Immense Journey (1957), had explored the nexus of nature and human culture in the centre of North America, none had spun so many webs of connection in dialogical narrative before. Wolf Willow, Stegner’s ground- breaking work, established a new form of narrative non-fiction writ- ing that a later Plains author, William Least Heat-Moon, in PrairyErth (1991) would coin “the deep map.” Stegner’s subtitle establishes the complexity of deep map country: it begs for narrative that complicates and compounds the possibilities of telling a story. The cross-section of material in deep map writing extends across boundaries that are generic as well as spatial and cultural. Rather than “totalizing” and “unifying,” deep maps present narratives “in which many voices speak, many, often contradictory, histories are told, and many ideologies cross, coexist, and collide” (Campbell 20). So resonant is this narrative form, Randall Roorda argues, that deep map writing in the early twenty-first century is now an established genre, “marked by attention to the ways in which the smallest, most closely circumscribed locale eventuates from the deepest recesses of time and is subject to attention in the most diverse, dispar- ate terms from the widest array of perspectives” (259).
