		<title>Solid Golden: An Interview With Annabel Lyon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Few writers can lay claim to the triple crown — the Scotiabank Giller Prize, the Governor General’s Award for Fiction, and the Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize — of CanLit award nominations. M.G. Vassanji pulled it off two years ago with The Assassin’s Song, and Rawi Hage followed suit with last year’s Cockroach. This year, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Once Moore, With Feeling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Lisa Moore is picking at old wounds. Her latest novel, February, is about the Ocean Ranger — an oil rig whose sinking off the coast of Newfoundland in February 1982 remains a painful blight on the province’s collective memory. February follows the lives of the fictional Helen O’Mara — whose husband is among the eighty-four [...]]]></description>

		<title>Seriously Funny</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It may be the most overworked expression of existential crisis in the language, a phrase quoted so often it has become little more than a flippant cliché, and yet, to be or not to be: that really is the question at the heart of A Serious Man. The latest Coen brothers film opened recently to [...]]]></description>

		<title>All Hallows’ Sheaves</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Happy Halloween, once again, one and all! This year I ask that we consider some choice old horror anthologies, in whose pages lurk all sorts of scares and shocks. The horror tradition in comics has long been dominated by a model developed by the EC comics company in the 1950s, whose titles like Tales from [...]]]></description>

		<title>IFOA Report: Paul Quarrington at the Brigantine Room</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the past few decades, Paul Quarrington has forged an unparalleled career as a novelist, playwright, screenwriter, filmmaker, and musician.

		<title>Up With 7, Down With Vista</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Windows Vista was a disaster from the word start. Anybody who has used Microsoft’s generally maligned operating system, which debuted in 2007, knows the headaches involved with convincing it perform even the most basic tasks.
