canadian ~ twenty-first century literature since 1999


Misc Links

These links really are miscellaneous. They're just stuff we heard about. Stuff that came through our email box. Stuff that seemed sort of interesting. We don't have any lawyers, but if we did we imagine they would say that we disclaim any liability that may accrue as a result of any of these links. That's a good lawyer word: accrue. We just mean: Use at your own risk.

Misc Links are updated roughly once a month.
