It reads like a piece that belongs in The Logogryph itself, since it sounds like you're referring to an imaginary, impossible book.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738454933478971984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7836598088279339968.post-45986223726140164892012-10-29T09:05:32.663-06:002012-10-29T09:05:32.663-06:00As promised:

If you're looking for boundary-pushing and genre-defying, you should look at Aritha van Herk's novels and non-fiction; books like Places far from Ellesmere. <br /><br />Also the work of the late Robert Kroetsch -- his last book of poetry, Too Bad, grabs the reader with a startling and funny cover and keeps getting better from there. <br /><br />Stuart Ross and Sheila Heti are writers of engagingly unusual and surprising fiction. <br /><br />And I might add my collection of short fiction, The Logogryph, which is a bibliography of imaginary books.<br /><br />I invite readers to add their own recommendations.<br /><br />Come to think of it, this would make a good topic for a blog post...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738454933478971984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7836598088279339968.post-73603051824988880982012-07-22T17:19:15.336-06:002012-07-22T17:19:15.336-06:00I am writing to ask for recommendations.

The long story, if you're curious, is this: I have proposed that the music blog Weirdcanada.com (an award winning site with a discovery-first ethos which places a premium on the local, the bizarre, and the innovative) expand into Canadian fiction. I am interested in this project because I like fiction and I like Weirdcanada.com. However, I don't know much about boundary-pushing, genre-defying, experimental Canadian fiction. In fact, I don't know anything about boundary-pushing, genre-defying, experimental Canadian fiction. A friend recently self-published a Choose-your-own-adventure about being a research mathematician, and I wrote about it [1]. Surely<br />there are other oddities like that out there, but I don't know where or how to find them.<br /><br />I am writing you with the hope that you will be able and willing to help me find more unusual Canadian fiction.<br /><br />Thank you,<br />David Steinberg<br /><br />[1] http://weirdcanada.com/2012/02/ex-libris-mathematics-odyssey-kent-windermere/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
