Canadian fiction is officially dead

T.O. literary agent Denise Bukowski says it in the latest Quill & Quire. So does Michael Posner in this weekend's Globe. One more source and it's a scrap of public fact, I guess. But--ha ha!--I am totally one step ahead of this marketing trend cultural shift. I hear there's this hot new genre of non-fiction? It's called the "magic realist memoir," otherwise known as "speculative autobiography." And, you know, I can't really remember where I read that, but I am so writing one.

In honour of this passing, notice our beautiful new web poll in the sidebar! Vote as many times as you wish--we LOVE multiple submissions. (Non-authors, feel free to improvise.)
