Does fiction have the power to transform readers? Yes, it does, says Keith Oatley in Why Fiction is Good for You in the July/August 2011 issue of the Literary Review of Canada. The latest issue also brings us reviews of Andy Lamey’s Frontier Justice: The Global Refugee Crisis and What to Do About It and Ruben Zaiotti’s Cultures of Border Control: Schengen and the Evolution of European Frontiers.
Also included in the issue are reviews of Philip Slayton’s Mighty Judgment: How the Supreme Court of Canada Runs Your Life, Norman Ravvin’s The Joyful Child, Wayne Lewchuk, Marlea Clarke and Alice de Wolff’s Working Without Commitments: The Health Effects of Precarious Employment and Walter S. DeKeseredy’s Violence Against Women: Myths, Facts, Controversies, among other works by more Canadian authors. The issue also features poetry by Torontonian Gillian Harding-Russell, Toronto-based Victoria Mohr-Blakeney and Moez Surani and Ottawa-born Tim Mook Sang.
In addition this month, Shawn Syms looks at the transformation of Canadian gay fiction in Modern Love, available exclusively online.
