This time, along with her odes to the pleasures of coffee and cake and writing, she delves into the darker emotions of betrayal, endings, and coming through the fire with her sense of humour intact and her gift with words honed to a new level of insight.

Membering Austin Clarke reflects on the life and writing of Austin Clarke, whose depictions of Black life in Canada enlarged our understanding of what Canadian literature looks like. Despite being one of Canada's most widely published, and most richly awarded writers, Austin Clarke (1934-2016) is not a household name.

Kanada, 1934: Das Mädchen Pearly Everlasting, zu Deutsch Silberimmortelle, ist fünfzehn und in einem Holzfällercamp mitten im Wald aufgewachsen – zusammen mit dem Bären Bruno, der seit ihrer Geburt ein Teil der Familie ist. Doch dann beschuldigt man Bruno, einen Mann getötet zu haben. Der Bär wird weggebracht, niemand weiß, wohin. Verzweifelt und entschlossen macht Pearly sich zu Fuß auf den Weg durch die tief verschneite kanadische Landschaft, um Bruno zu suchen.
