The Guild is always referred to as a North American organisation, and I completely get that it's kind of a gag in the series that they're American but can we also please get some Canadian members pls.
Like with all the Canadian stereotypes the same way Fitzgerald is an American stereotype. I don't even know any famous Canadian authors but it would be so funny.
Imagine them speaking Quebec French and the ADA is like we have to deal with their English but now THIS too! And someone having a thick Alberta accent, maybe a member is like "Forget the book, where is the good maple syrup in this dang country!" (ofc they don't swear).
Then trying to explain hockey to one of the ADA (because they're on a temporary truce).
Anyways it's just a thought.
If any Canadians have OCs with Canadian authors reblog and put them in the tags.

thoughts on E Pauline Johnson/Tekahionwake
don't got enough energy to make this as coherent as i'd like but I'm thinking about the writings of E Pauline Johnson (also known as Tehakionwake) a lot -- I really like her writing, and as a Canadian, I'm happy to learn about Canadian literature since all I was taught in school was American and English stuff until I finally took Canadian Lit in uni
I tend to think about certain peices of her writing from a "female rage" standpoint -- and idk if that's accurate or fair - I don't know if I'm forcefully imposing a modern label on her works, but not only is that what I see when I read ""Ojistoh," "A Cry from an Indian Wife," "The Cattle Thief" and (especially) "As it Was in the Beginning," -- but I particularly appreciate having examples of "female rage" art that don't only depict white girls/women
because while I love this kind of art, especially in film, I never see myself in it. we have reached a point where female rage can be glamourized or celebrated...to a certain extent. the rage of women of colour is still largely used to justify apathy or even violence against us -- and I've yet to see it explored in mainstream media the same way regular, unlabled (and therefore white) female rage is
any way, back to johnson -- my favourite examples of her writing aren't just about women in general - they're about Indigenous women resisting the forces of sexism, imperialism, and religious violence in 19th century Canada
however...there's still more to think about
Johnson was half-white, came from a very finanically privileged background and was thus able to use both of those to her advantage white navigating white spaces. In her live readings where she wore "Indian" costume - essentially an amalgamation of stereotypes from a variety of first nations -- you could argue that she was intentionally playing into audience expectations only to subvert them by returning in her white/european clothes -- but you could also argue that she was playing into the shock value of the transformation and somewhat legitimizing the audience's perception of Indigenous cultures as exotic, homogenous, and non-specific.
she was aware of the audience's often overly-simplistic interpretations of her work though and wrote about them, saying "I could do so much better if they'd only let me"
and yeah, that's all I've got for now. Should be working on my actual school work but I'm more interested in this right now.

Out of the 4 books I've read this semester, only 2 of them have truly resonated with me, and the 2nd I've only just begun.
Monkey Beach is probably one of the hardest books to put down. Robinson's use of instructions and the details she puts into the landscapes really pulls you into the story.
The White Bone has so far been right up my alley. I'm only 3 chapters in, and the storytelling is deep and rich, and I'm a sucker for world-building. plus, from all I've heard, Gowdy does an amazing job of personifying her elephant characters, so I look forward to reading more.

"Broken Promise" by Linwood Barclay - Book Review @BerkleyPub @doubledayca @linwood_barclay #BrokenPromise #PromiseFalls #BookReview #BacklistReview
Promise Falls, in upstate New York, is the epitome of small towns everywhere. Though it might look quite idyllic in appearance, there is a lot going on behind the doors of the homes within its boundaries. And… there is a lot going on in Promise Falls. I mean, a lot!
