Urban vs. Rural in Canadian Literature

by Chloë Filson

In a recent Meta-Talon article, “Reflections on Regionalism,” Megan Jones referred to the “quietly profound writers that dwell in far-off corners and dense urban hotbeds of this vast country.” This description points to one of the most important – or at least one of the most critically discussed – tensions in Canadian literature: urban vs. rural.

Selections from Minor Episodes / Major Ruckus

By Garry Thomas Morse

The Mole

“With this magazine cover, I know it’s only a prototype, but with this cover, we decided to concentrate on the mole. This may look to you and me like an ordinary, and might I add rather famous, mole on a human face. Yet if we were to make that assumption, we would both be making a rather naive supposition.”

Candy blinked and stifled a yawn.

“Because,” roared F with wild eyes, nearly startling Candy out of her seat, “the mole is not a real mole at all!”

“Okay, Doc, I believe you. Just chill, okay.”
