A massive mix, focusing heavily on those themes and subject matter so often so severely lacking in Canadian literature. Indeed, a condemnation on the current state and status of Canlit: it's writers, publishers, and critics. A mix that reveals the full extent of what is creatively possible to the transgressive, urban post-realist writer. Truly, truly exceptional works.

Thanks! Compiling these mixes are almost as fun as tracking down their individual components. The urban underground is alive and well around the world, and on the net (the new underground). Though I think new search engines are needed that are far, far more sensitive than those currently at use.
