By far the best piece I've read on Wrong Norma so far -- a generous reckoning with the 'intrusion of the political' into Carson's out-of-timeness.

Thanks to Tim for this insightful review of Benjamin:

'They call to us, unsettle us; it is almost theatrical, like too many voices—actors murmuring on a crowded stage.'

'I got to work. I had a title. Now I needed to write the book. Creation ex nihilo. Well, if God had done it, so could I. A girl-author, a Lady God.'

This is made all the greater that it was shot in Hamilton.

'Small book of wonder tales … This collection embodies the generosity and intimacy of the essay form at its best.' (((Moribund Facekvetch))) (he/him) Wolsak & Wynn miramichireader.ca/2024/03/imagin…
