Abstract

This document is a book review of "Lives Lived, Lives Imagined: Landscapes of Resilience in the Works of Miriam Toews" by Sabrina Reed. The review discusses Reed's approach of relating Miriam Toews's biography and fiction, with a focus on her resilience and the settings of her Mennonite community. Reed explores Toews's use of autofiction to address suicide survivorship and argues that humor is her saving grace. The review also highlights the thematic areas of home and community, road trips, the Mennonite diaspora, and autofiction in Toews's novels. Overall, the review praises Reed's well-researched and well-written study of Toews's work. [Extracted from the article]
