On Canadian Lit. and Oatmeal

I’ve been away too long.

This summer has been so, so busy! I will write a proper post soon with some photos and words and maybe even an anecdote or two, but for now it will just be this ‘icebreaker’. We can consider this sort of thing the small-talk of blog posts.

What I’m saying is that this post will be just a short one, but I look forward to returning to this space more frequently in the coming weeks.

For anyone at all interested in Canadian Literature, this poem from the Geist website is pretty funny.

“the oatmeal of world literature” indeed. Sometimes, though, isn’t oatmeal just exactly the thing?

I hope summer has been all you’d hoped it would.

love,

I’m a little slow on the uptake…

but am really happy that Alice Munro has won the Man Booker prize. I have read and enjoyed several of her stories, and even studied a few of them in one of my Canadian Lit. classes in university. I can also recall my Grandmother saying she thinks that Munro is “just about the best writer there is”. That’s high praise.

I’m going to celebrate with some homemade chocolate pudding.
