Annabel Lyon's passion for historical novels and her love of
ancient Greece make her lecture on the process of creating
characters of historical fiction captivating. She discusses the
process of wading through historical sources-and avoiding myriad
pitfalls-to craft believable people to whom readers can relate.
Finding familiarity with figures from the past and then, with the
help of hindsight, discovering their secrets, are the foremost
tools of the historical novel writer. Readers interested in the
literary creative process and in writing or reading historical
fiction will find Lyon's comments insightful and intriguing.
Ten years, ten authors, ten critics. The Canadian Literature
Centre/Centre de litterature canadienne reaches into its ten-year
archive of Brown Bag Lunch readings to sample some of the most
diverse and powerful voices in contemporary Canadian literature.
This anthology offers readers samples from some of Canada's most
exciting writers of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. Each selection
is introduced by a brief essay, serving as a point of entry into
the writer's work. From the east coast of Newfoundland to Kitamaat
territory on British Columbia's central coast, there is a story for
everyone, from everywhere. True to Canada's multilingual and
multicultural heritage, these ten writers come from diverse
ethnicities and backgrounds, and work in multiple languages,
including English, French, and Cree. Ying Chen | essay by Julie
