Hey, it's Jay.
I'm a Canadian tech writer and book reviewer, and this is my book blog. ¶
Hugh Thomas, Jangle Straw
This brief collection of mistranslations could only happen in Montreal. It has something of the city in it, I can’t quite put my finger on it.

Pearl Pirie, A Couple Sumerians
These poems are domestic, full of love, adoration, and humanity, yet brief, soft, and lightning-sharp, with a recurring motif of eye contact. Intimate.

John Metcalf, What Is A Canadian Literature?
What Is A Canadian Literature? is a thought-provoking work bearing a perspicacity utterly alien to the nimbyist pricks lording over CanLit.
