Reading Wednesday
Jun. 26th, 2019 09:16 pmJust Finished: A Bird in the House by Margaret Laurence. Short stories set in the fictional town of Manawaka, Manitoba, from the point of view of a girl growing up during the Depression. Good stuff. I don't know much about this author, aside from once reading The Stone Angel and enjoying it. The library recently got in a bunch of new paperback editions of her work, so I might pick up more of them at one point.
Currently Reading: Still the Peredvizhniki book and the Han Shan collection. Hoping to get through with them soon.
Library Haul: Currently have the following out, will tackle soon -
Shut Up You're Pretty by Téa Mutonji. Short stories (which is all the fiction I have attention span for lately). Congolese author now living in Canada. Book's described as "tinged with pathos and humour".
Drolleries by Cassidy McFadzean. Poetry collection. Canadian author from Saskatchewan. I flipped through it and at least one of the lines caught my eye, which is pretty much my baseline for checking poetry out from the library. We'll see how this goes.
The Book of Pride: LGBTQ Heroes Who Changed the World by Mason Funk. Title is mostly self-explanatory... It says it's about people who changed the world, but all of the people it discusses are from the USA. I'm interested anyway, but I expected a broader scope. If anybody knows about a similar book (snapshots of historically/culturally important LGBT2Q individuals) with either a Canadian or global focus, I'd like to hear about it.
