Time To Read

Thanks for joining us! This month we’re discussing Fox by Margaret Sweatman WITH Margaret Sweatman! Laid over the backdrop of the 1919 Winnipeg General Strike, Fox examines several characters as they face the time’s social upheaval through a postmodern pastiche of newspaper headlines, diary entries, character vignettes and poems.  Its narrative thread is mostly through four characters: Mary, who enjoys her pampered lifestyle and is engaged to the socially charming businessman Drinkwater, Eleanor, who in spite of her families’ wealth, realizes that she has little to call her own and MacDougal, a local bookstore owner who fights for social reform. In This Episode We Mention Margaret Sweatman’s bio Broken Songs Band (Margaret’s band with her husband Glenn Buhr): The 1919 Winnipeg General Strike Private Property by Margaret Sweatman Jordon Wheeler and Digital Ogichida Fox Confessor Brings the Flood by Neko Case.
