MetaxuCafe Updates

Searching Member Sites
I’ve recently added a search function so that you can limit your Google search to just the blogs that are members of MetaxuCafe. I think that will be a good resource for everyone looking for literary topics online and you’ll find it right on the front page as well as other places on the site. Now if you want to read about, say Orhan Pamuk, but only want to search the litblogs you trust, you can narrow your search right here.

I just realized, as a Canadian novel, I’m eligible for the Giller! Which means, as of right now, I am officially on the Giller Looooong List!

Gosh, who do I thank? God, of course, thanks, Big Cheese. Mom, Dad, I love you. Cathy, baby, I couldn’t have done it without you! My editor Jen, for believing in me! Miriam Toews, for providing encouragement! Uh, my heroes, of course, you know who you are. Oh, and to all my frie…

What?

Oh, Ondaatje also is on the list? And the cover of the Globe and Mail books section? My loss is all but assured? I’m being an ass? I don’t really have a chance?

But what about...? No, you’re right. Thanks for putting it all in perspective.

Damn.
