#engl480 for example Tommy Shoyama, editor of The New Canadian, lived until 2006. And he's a prominent character in The Three Pleasures!!
#engl480 also what fascinates me most about the three pleasures is that many characters are REAL PEOPLE!!! who lived very recently!!! what are the ethics of writing these stories??? I would love to sit and pick Mr. Watada's brain 😯
#engl480 is anyone else reading the three pleasures right now or planning on it?? the way it weaves history and fiction together is fascinating
#engl480 when I'm reading Nao's parts I feel like she's talking to me directly and I totally forget that Ruth is reading the diary too, thinking the same thing...
#engl480 kind of understand how this feels, though... when I've gone camping/away and shut off all my devices, it does feel like time and timekeeping feel different. I feel like I'm in a different 'time'
#engl480 pg. 172: "The world was restored to its place in time, and her mind was back online." wow!! so when the power is out and there is no Internet, is/does it feel like Ruth's world slipping back in time? kinda suggesting that the Internet is crucial to our current moment 1/2
#engl480 my reasoning: cortes as in hernán cortés, and also bc part of cortes island is traditional lands of Sliammon people - and Muriel tells a Sliammon story about "Grandmother Crow, or T'ets" on page 96
#engl480 BUT I keep circling back to how it's marketed as fiction. but does that matter? does that make the story any less "true"?
#engl480 can't stop thnking abt how le's love & etc is such a self-aware story that weaves real & imagined tgethr in unexpected ways. (1/2)
#engl480 don't have anythng smart 2 say but omg the exquisite beauty of this line (p140): "To keep pain from translating itself into memory"
#engl480 but "langue" ALSO means language! this layered meaning comes thru so clearly in the french, in a way the english can't/won't
#engl480 DICTEE p66 & 68: "La langue dedans" and "Mordre la langue" - "langue" means tongue (as it's translated in the english here) 1/2
#engl480 remember when we read DMC...let's donate to: Seeds for Longevity: A Seniors Drop-In Centre in Chinatown! youcaring.com/youthforchines…
#engl480 thnking bout how a dictée in its usual form is meant 2 b verbalized to someone. what changes in my reading exp. if I do the same?
#engl480 The way multiple languages are used, are layered, are arranged, in Dictee, demand the reader to read, research, reread
#engl480 thinking about: when is it "acceptable" to fictionalize a person who lived and when is it not? what are the ethics on this?
#engl480 "Wake" felt like a concentric experience, rather than linear - each time we circled around the 'story', we glean a little bit more
#engl480 Dr. Lee: "There is nothing hip about dressing up as a father of confederation"
