He's very funny but I'm pretty sure he does not go a single page in St Urbain's Horseman without referencing Jewishness- his own, the fact his wife or best friend are gentile, Israel, whether each new character is jew or gentile etc., the kosher food he is eating, it becomes really insufferable. I just don't think being Jewish is that interesting.

Robertson Davies (read Fifth Business)

Alistair MacLeod (read his short stories)

That's the best CanCon you're gonna get, they wrote when Canada was still Canada. "Canadian Literature" is entirely "growing up black indigenous two-spirit racialized person LGBTQ2SOGZXI immigrant" shit nowadays

[Anonymous No.19117794]

no not at all. I remember when I was near the Montreal train station must have been like 85 or 86 in the winter then Mats Naslund was still the leader for the Canadians and when I was eating the such food that is there produced in quantity of restaurant I say emerge from the station many such people of transvestite appearance this was a shame and embrrassment for the spirit of the people who were there waiting for such trains after I eated I went to train very much Canada has no literature

Back when societies actually had culture, before neoliberalism made the central interest of all powers to be the growth of markets, we here in Canada STILL were a soulless wasteland. I don't even know what the fuck we do here. We are basically just a couple multinational corporations in a trenchcoat. I don't blame Quebecs fierce separatist/nationalist bent, because they're fighting the absorption into a faceless void

Is there anything we can do besides leaving? Can we embrace the void? Politics is all downstream of the great satan next door so there is no hope of change.

I'm in the prairies and feel like moving to the east coast right now.

I mean, we are so VAST, so young and sparsely populated. I feel like anything can happen, fuck mainstream/federal politics and events, there's just so little inertia to make things happen (at least on a grassroots scale) compared to other places in the west.
Also, I was born and raised in Nova Scotia, still living here, can confirm its 12/10 and small enough that my previous argument is only exacerbated when applied here. Keep your grubby wheat-cultivating hands the FUCK off my land. I seriously fear NS becoming the next 'hidden treasure' and turning into a bougie/touristy nothingness, if that happens then my home truly will be irreversibly fucked, and the pandemic already caused a significant migration from the west. We don't need your kind here. Or if you do come, go to New Brunswick. Newfoundland maybe, because I don't see them becoming commodified by mass migration.

Canada is basically the Sikh homeland at this point so I expect more Sikh writers from Canada sooner or later.

No, but a disproportionate amount of lit posters are Canacucks (since Americans have too much corn syrup and plastic in their diets to develop the mental faculties necessary for enjoying literature), so it's likely Canada will produce some good gen z writers

[Anonymous No.19118742]

>>19118733
Canada already seems to have disproportionally contributed to online political discourse 2015 onwards. For example, Jordan Peterson, Stephan Molyneaux, Gavin Mcinnes and Jreg are all Canacucks
