I've #JustRead “Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands,” which won #CanadaReads2023.
Kate Beaton’s #GraphicMemoir sketches homesickness, sexism, danger – & occasional beauty – in the hellscape that is the #OilSands.
One lovely vignette occurs when she explains that Maritimers have long had to leave home to work elsewhere (a loss that defines their music & literature), & we see that she is reading “No Great Mischief” by the wonderful Alistair MacLeod.
