Behind the “Powderworks”: Hannah Josephson and the Tin Flute
192CanLitSpring2007-6 3/22/07 3:29 PM Page 111 Agnes Whitfield Behind the “Powderworks”: Hannah Josephson and The Tin Flute Some time in the fall of 1946, when she was working on the English translation of Bonheur d’occasion for the New York publisher Reynal and Hitchcock, the version which would also be published in Toronto by McClelland & Stewart, the American translator Hannah Josephson com- mitted an unfortunate mistake. She was almost halfway through the book. The young heroine, Florentine, her thoughts full of Jean Lévesque, has just heard Emmanuel Létourneau’s declaration of love and wiped his kiss off her lips. Eugène, her brother, has enrolled in the army; her father, Azarius, is out of work. Her little brother Daniel’s illness is quickly worsening. Fore- shadowing the increasingly dramatic tensions of the novel, the start of the next chapter is marked by the fierce squalls of the close of winter: La fin de l’hiver s’entourait de nuages et de soudaines rafales. Tôt cet après-midi, des nuées basses s’étaient amassées sur le versant sud de la montagne et les vents avaient chargé le bas quartier. Vers huit heures du soir, la poudrerie se déchaîna. Les volets disjoints battaient; on entendait parfois comme une déchirure de zinc au toit des maisons; les arbres noirs se tordaient avec des craquements secs au coeur de leur tronc noueux; les vents crépitaient sous des poignées de grenade. Et la neige continuait à tourbil- lonner . (Roy 1945 197, my emphasis) Guided by European French usage, or simply unaware that “poudrerie” is the Quebec word for snowstorm, Josephson translated the portentous phrase, “la poudrerie se déchaîna” by “the powderworks exploded”: Canadian Literature / Spring 192CanLitSpring2007-6 3/22/07 3:29 PM Page 112 Hannah Josephson The winter was coming to an end in overcast skies and sudden squalls. -

Uncovering the Grotesque in Fiction by Alice Munro and Gabrielle Roy
Uncovering the Grotesque in Fiction by Alice Munro and Gabrielle Roy Lorna Hutchison he grotesque aesthetic is at play in a diversity of fiction of the last two hundred years, including Jeremias Gotthelf’s The Black Spider (1842), Robert Louis Stevenson’s Strange Case of TDr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886), Kafka’s The Metamorphosis (1915), and numerous works by Flannery O’Connor in the mid-twentieth century, to name only a few. Today, the grotesque is a part of the art of many of Canada’s authors and has burgeoned over the last forty years into such an important aesthetic — and strategy, as I will describe it here — in this country’s body of works that the literary theory that helps read- ers, critics, and teachers to explore the many concerns, processes, and, most importantly here, effects of the literature has not kept up with its developments. The prominence of the grotesque and the doors it opens to questions of spirituality, ethics, ways of knowing, and so much more, prompts the research question What does and does not “qualify” as literature of the grotesque? Consider two quintessential characteristics of the grotesque: dual- ity and deformity. In the Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, for example, the divided nature and deformity of Stevenson’s Jekyll-Hyde character clearly fulfills these criteria, right down to the contradiction of Jekyll-Hyde’s ominous smile: “Mr. Hyde was pale and dwarfish, he gave an impression of deformity without any nameable malformation, he had a displeasing smile” (17). One of the authors under study here, Alice Munro, creates the aesthetic through depicting contradictory states of life and death, or life and terminal illness. -
