• Sommario/riassunto: "The previous edition of Bruce Peel's Bibliography was hailed by authorities as the single, finest introduction to the literature of the Canadian Prairies ever compiled, and one of the pioneering monuments of Canadian bibliographic scholarship. Although he had planned to issue only a supplement to the second edition, additional entries multiplied until it became clear that an entirely new edition was warranted. Sixty-five per cent larger than its predecessor, this edition features over 3000 new entries, bringing the total to more than 7400. All entries are integrated into one continuously numbered sequence, and a table has been added that cross references the entry numbers to those of the second edition. As well, the annotations, biographical notes, author, title, and subject indexes have been revised and expanded." "Ingles and Distad's new edition will prove even more invaluable to students and academics interested in the history of the Prairie provinces, Prairie writers, or even the pattern of migration within Canada itself."--Jacket

• Sommario/riassunto: Acts of cross-cultural reading have ethical consequences. In Haunting Encounters, Joanne Lipson Freed traces the narrative strategies through which certain works of fiction forge connections with their readers across boundaries of difference. Freed uses the idea of haunting-an intense, temporary, and transformative encounter that defies rational understanding-as a metaphor for the kinds of ethical relationships that such works cultivate with their readers across boundaries of difference. Freed points out how such works as Toni Morrison's Beloved, Leslie Marmon Silko's Ceremony, and Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things strike a delicate balance between empathy and alterity. Their engaging narratives, Freed argues, bring unfamiliar characters and distant settings to life for readers who encounter them as "other," but they also highlight the limits of fiction, holding in check the impulse to colonize another's experience with one's own. Haunting Encounters is a sensitive and perceptive application of theory to real-world concerns. It draws together the fields of postcolonial fiction and narrative ethics and suggests original modes of engagement between readers and books that promise new ways of looking at the world.
