Alistair Bonnett and Canadian Literature

Secret Cities: Anything I loved has an asterisk beside it, according to Huffington Post Canada. So, here goes! Unruly Places: Lost Spaces, Secret Cities, and Other Inscrutable Geographies - Alistair Bonnett. I made an effort to add more Canadian literature to my repertoire for the first time since university, and to my delight, found hilarious, enthralling and completely diverse works that drove home just what I'd been missing by assuming it was all Stone Angel, all the time. I loved the idea of this book, which looked at cities that exist somewhere outside of the conventional map. This fictional exploration of race by someone who hasn't even considered the word until she comes to North America reveals so much about how society works. Combining fantasy with geography, it a great work for the fiction reader who wants some non-fiction in their life. *Americanah - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
