Delirium's Library

Ever wondered what happens to all those books sold in second-hand stores and yard sales, left on buses, or given away free? Sandman readers will know Dream's Library, which is full of all the books never quite published, but Delirium, Dream's younger, kookier sister, also has quite the collection of bizarre and brilliant works. As guardian of this library, it's my pleasure to read through the never-ending shelves of "books I bought or was given and can't remember why."

Oh Canada(s)

Keep your eyes on the ever-curious image of CanLit developing on the Guardian Unlimited: Culture Vulture blog. I've added my 50 cents worth (that's 20p, for my English readers) & of course, I'm dissatisfied with it & can think of tons more authors to laud -- and more importantly, lots to diss. Russell Smith? MacInerny-wannabe cant.
Ooh, it's so fun. So post away to the Guardian & post here with laurels for the underlaurelled & poison darts for the sacred cows. Is there really nothing out there by Alice Munro & Leonard Cohen???
