Black Canadians, at the end of a recent Giller Power Panel, were asked to recommend lesser-known Black Canadian authors. I‘ve rounded up their suggestions in my most recent video: https://youtu.be/_TLS8M7OQGQ

"Leslie wears a knee-length coat, an elaborate, petally ruffle around the neck making her head look like a grumpy stamen."
""Fuck!" she hears. Then, "Fuckity fuck mcfuckintosh, oh fuckinstein van fucklington.""
"Even though the thought of seeing Leslie is like contemplating a dirty toilet she's just about to lick, Edith is ready."
"Leslie's past devotion to Edith had deflated like a lung poked with a pencil, suddenly and irrevocably."
Today in odd similes.
I'm taking a break from Waste Tide, which has quite a lot of plot threads to follow, to read the tagged book, which sounds a little lighter. I'm excited about it!
so-soWhat an odd little book this is. It's a bit horror, a lot bit satire, and a little slice of dystopian life of a current humanities academic. Edith Vane works at U of I and her job is supposed to be safe, what with tenure, but the new dean is evil, her colleague has gone mysteriously missing, and Crawley Hall, her building, seems to have developed sentience and is trying to kill everyone inside it. I admired but didn't always enjoy this novel.
Started reading this #queer #Canadian satire of academia with a touch of supernatural hauntedness on the ferry ride home this afternoon. So far it is definitely confirming my decision to leave academia many years ago. #QueerBooks
