Indeed, by drawing upon her own hybrid identity as an Indo Caribbean Canadian lesbian woman, Mootoo’s works evoke an urgent need for narratives of belonging, exploring a set of recurrent dichotomies related to identity categories and notions of place present throughout her fiction, either in the form of homeland (nation) or merely home as a communal space. By articulating counter-histories, nostalgia, and recovery, Mootoo aligns herself with other postcolonial Canadian writers whose interest lies in “treatments of buried memory, witnessing, and recuperative healing” (Sugars and Ty 10). Likewise, as I have argued elsewhere, her fiction belongs to a cluster of works aimed at examining a politics of memory that acknowledges the ways in which subjugated groups have sought to shift or transform memory. Additionally, the complex interplay between female sexuality and being a diasporic Caribbean Canadian subject brings to the fore histories of exile and trauma “A Garden of Her Own”: Toward a Wilful Politics of Hope in Shani Mootoo’s Out on Main Street","PeriodicalId":384095,"journal":{"name":"ESC: English Studies in Canada","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122897883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Describe her character? I met silence. Retrenching, I asked them about the story’s protagonist, Gregor, the traveling salesman who turns into a giant insect. Describe his character? More silence. Had they read it? Or enough of it? Or carefully enough? They all looked tired, like they wanted to crawl away into a dusty corner of the room, perhaps under a sofa like Gregor, and be left alone.1 I could only speculate as to what they had read or how they had read. I was vulnerable, like many of us, to grim theories of the decline of books and the Twitterization of attention spans, but were they true? I have often felt in the dark about the most basic activity I ask my students to undertake—not literary analysis, but the experience of reading literature. How do students today read?

Likewise, reader response studies have long established the self-reflective and transformative nature of literary reading, as well as the therapeutic uses of writing. While these four areas are typically approached as distinct from each other—rpgs, therapy, reading, and writing—they find common ground in responses to and concerns with trauma and abuse. We know that rpg players may use their persona in gaming sessions as an avatar to work through issues of concern in their real lives. Similarly, readers consuming fiction may process and reflect on their own real-life experiences through the imaginary worlds inside. Authors, as a third group, also may use their writing as a way of processing their experiences in a sense akin to how a patient works with a therapist through dialogue, play-therapy, and journaling. There is, however, an overlapping point not yet recognized among these quasi-therapeutic possibilities. The crux of this article is a niche literary genre in which all four of these distinct areas coincide: fantasy fiction, and in particular popular fantasy of 1977 to 1990, in which “you could hear the dice rolling” (Lindskold, n.p.).

The poem begins with a declaration of the end of the world, which Miller locates in 2006. Although he is not specific in identifying any single apocalyptic event, he references a confluence of happenings: “America, Iraq, Korea; / the pressing of buttons; the detonation of bombs / from one pole to the next; the grand explosion / of people” (32). He declares “what we most feared / would happen has happened.” If 2006, in Miller’s narrative, marks one end of the world, it proves interesting now to look back on that time from a fearful and unsettled present. We can find another accounting of that time and of the detonation of lives daily in Dionne Brand’s book Inventory, published in that fateful year, 2006.
