It wasn’t my plan. My plan was better. My plan made sense.brbrI’m staring down the muzzle of a gun and I know that’s where it will come from. The messenger of death. The ferryman. Time for a last laugh. If you can see light at the end of the tunnel, it may be a spit of flame. Time for a last tear. We could have turned this life into something good, you and I. If we had followed the plan. One last thought. Everyone asks what the meaning of life is, but no one asks about the meaning of death./ibrbrbr2brThe AstronautbrThe old man reminded Harry of an astronaut. The comical short steps, the stiff movements, the dead, black eyes and the shoes shuffling along the parquet floor. As if he were frightened to lose contact with the ground and float away into space.brbrHarry looked at the clock on the white wall above the exit. 15.16. Outside the window, in Bogstadveien, the Friday crowds hurry past. The low October sun is reflected in the wing mirror of a car driving away in the rush hour.brbrHarry concentrated on the old man. Hat plus elegant grey overcoat in dire need of a clean. Beneath it: tweed jacket, tie and worn grey trousers with a needle-sharp crease. Polished shoes, down at the heel. One of those pensioners of whom Majorstuen seems to be full. This wasn’t conjecture. Harry k@?ýp£×ÿ¾Û€  (less)

happens when a shoe-crazy, lipstick-obsessed, pasta-slurping, fashion-fanatic, madly-in-love, about-to-get married, big-city-girl cartoonist with a fabulous life finds . . . a lump in her breast?”brbrThat’s the question that sets this funny, powerful and poignant graphic memoir in motion. In vivid colour and with a taboo-breaking sense of humour, Marisa Marchetto tells the story of her 11-month, ultimately triumphant bout with breast cancer – from diagnosis to cure, and every challenging step in between.brbrButbCancer Vixen/bis about more than surviving an illness. It is a portrait of one woman’s supercharged life in Manhattan, and a wonderful love story. Marisa, self-described “terminal bachelorette” meets her Prince Charming in Silvano, owner of the chic downtown trattoria Da Silvano. A month before their wedding, she receives her diagnosis. She wonders: How will he react to this news? How will my world change? Will I even survive? And . . . what about my hair?brbrFrom raucousiNew Yorker/istaff lunches and the star-studded crowd at Silvano’s restaurant, to the rainbow pumps Marisa wears to chemotherapy,bCancer Vixen/bis a total original. Her wit and courage are an inspiration – she’s a cancer vixen, not its victim: “Cancer,” she says, “I’m going to kick your butt! And I’m going to do it in killer four-inch heels!”“In 2004, cartoonist Marchetto, a hyper-stylish ‘terminal bachelorette,’ was busy capturing ‘fabulista’ humor, in theiNew Yorker/iandiGlamour/i.

I’m at the final round of the Hogtown Showdown, the most important ­b-­boy battle of the year in all of Toronto. My crew, Rackit Klub, is up against the legendary Infinite Jest. Some of them have been breaking since before I could walk. Not only did they start this battle, they’ve won it eight times, not to mention all the titles they hold in New York, L.A. and every ­far-­flung cipher and circle around the planet. They’ve been in the newspaper. They’ve been on TV. Their videos have made the top ten of almost every ­b-­boy website there is. Sponsors give them free clothes. When local MCs want ­b-­boys in their videos, Infinite Jest gets called up first. All that’s left is for someone to name a shoe after ­them.brbrMeanwhile, me and the boys of tha Rackit Klub have trouble getting practice space at school. We can’t even get an invitation to the sessions that Infinite leads. So far, nothing we do grabs their attention. Or anyone else’s.brbrUntil ­today.brbrYou can feel it in the air. Something amazing is going to happen. The crowd knows it too. As we’re called to the floor, everyone–­b-­boys, fans, ­photographers–­they all rush to the side of the circle. Some use their elbows to get to the ­front.brbrInfinite jokes around with fans and makes fun of the ­DJ–­a personal friend.

Award. Now available in paperback, this book offers work from not only those prestigious names, but assembles a diverse cross-section of Canadian women's writing. Together, the fifty stories included here form a kind of collective narrative of women's experience past and present. All the stories are about women: in childhood, adolescence, maturity, old age; in relationships as daughters, sisters, lovers, mothers; and in a variety of social and political contexts. Their authors reflect Canada's racial and ethnic diversity as well as its geographic expanse, and the writers cover a wide range of styles from documentary narrative, romance adventure, and satiric social comedy to science fiction and postmodern metafiction. But regardless of genre, they all write confidently and eloquently about women's lives. No reader will fail to be amused, enthralled, intrigued, and invigorated.brThe most delicious part of this book is that it brings together a great many very good stories....Readers who love fiction...will be enriched by this collection.--The Montreal GazettebrbrRosemary Sullivan is Professor of English at the University of Toronto.
