4. Les Oreilles

Author

Friesen, Carolyn Callé

Subjects
Deaf, Disability, Historical Fiction, Literary Fiction, Quebec History, Quebecois Language Conflict, Creative writing, Literature, Canadian literature
Abstract

This Creative Writing and Literature thesis presents Part I (100 pages) of my literary novel Les Oreilles, a work of Canadian Québécois historical fiction. In 1940s rural Quebec, the Eastern townships are divided as the Francophone vs. Anglophone conflict churns, and World War II calls for the deployment of Canadian sons. Poverty further escalates tension in the home of a struggling farming family. For Lillian Collins, the farm has been her entire world, and her eleven siblings are her only companions. Maman is French, Papa is English, and Lily understands neither. Severely hearing impaired, Lily has never enrolled in school, worn a new dress, or attended church. Lily's hearing loss involves the cochlea and sensory organs of the inner ear, which also impacts mobility and balance. Lily's frequent injuries have long been dismissed as the plight of a simpleton not able to judge her footing. We enter the story in 1942 at a time when the family dynamic is volatile; brother Jimmy revels in twisted cruelties, and Lily has become his preferred target for mistreatment. The older girls are ready to leave the farm and start their own families but fear for Lily's safety. The girls have secured an opportunity for Lily but will need to act quickly. The story narrows in on the critical twenty-four hours before Lily's departure. Unable to read or write and poorly equipped to speak, Lily may not have the skills to navigate the world beyond the farm.

9. The Sealed Book of the Future: The Collected Prose of Edward Taylor Fletcher

Author

Fletcher, Edward Taylor

Subjects
Canadian poetry, Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.), Literature, Poetry, Philology, Canadian literature, English literature
Abstract

This digital book is a companion to Of Sunken Islands and Pestilence: Restoring the Voice of Edward Taylor Fletcher to Nineteenth-Century Canadian Literature. It is intended as an aid to readers, in particular students and scholars, who wish to know more about Fletcher's works. The ideas that drove Fletcher's creative works are on display here, but they are not in the form of memoir, travel writings, or poetry — instead, these are the critical writings of an amateur scholar and professional surveyor. They frequently fall into the philological habits of the nineteenth century, and they do not generally "tell a story" as do the creative works that comprise Of Sunken Islands and Pestilence. However, many of these non-fiction essays relate directly to Fletcher's creative writing, such as his "The Lost Island of Atlantis" to his long poem The Lost Island. Likewise, for scholarly interest, the works collected here reveal the readings Fletcher gestures to in his creative works: gestures that are largely confined to the annotations in Of Sunken Islands and Pestilence but that form his central concerns here.
