This collection of essays examines how the sense of crisis that
occasionally seems to overwhelm us directs and transforms Canadian
and Quebec writings in English and French, and conversely, how
literature and criticism set out to counterbalance the social,
economic, and ideological insecurities we live in. Ce recueil de
textes etudie les manieres dont le sentiment de crise qui peut
parfois sembler nous submerger, oriente et transforme les ecrits
canadiens et quebecois d'expressions anglaise et francaise, et
inversement, comment la litterature et la critique s'efforcent de
contrebalancer les insecurites sociales, economiques et
ideologiques dans lesquelles nous vivons. Contributors: David

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

"The outburst of cultural energy that took place in the 1960s was
in part a product of the two decades that came before. It's always
difficult for young people to see their own time in perspective:
when you're in your teens, a decade earlier feels like ancient
history and the present moment seems normal: what exists now is
surely what has always existed." Margaret Atwood compares the
Canadian literary landscape of the 1960s to the Burgess Shale, a
geological formation that contains the fossils of many strange
prehistoric life forms. The Burgess Shale is not entirely about
writing itself, however: Atwood also provides some insight into the
meagre writing infrastructure of that time, taking a lighthearted
look at the early days of the institutions we take for granted
today-from writers' organizations, prizes, and grant programs to
book tours and festivals.
