The Walrus is deepening its commitment to books when many media outlets have had to shrink or cut arts coverage. This year, we launched a full books section, in which our two literary columnists, Jason Guriel and Thea Lim, offer smart, sharp comment on the state of letters in this country. Complementing their insights are “Bookmarks,” short reviews—laser shots, really—of criticism, written by The Walrus staff, of recent releases. Some we love, some we don’t. The promise is honesty.
We also promise to explore what is produced—written, edited, translated, published—in Canada. We recently profiled Invisible Books, a small and self-described “scrappy” press with staff in Ontario, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. We’ve been putting a particular focus on independent Canadian houses in our coverage so far, because these accomplished outlets deserve support.
And by supporting The Walrus, you’re bringing them, and Canadian literature, to wider audiences. Thank you for helping us champion Canadian authors and their work. |
