    This year saw a splash in the Canadian literary scene, as Yann Martel published Beatrice & Virgil, his first book since the Man-Booker prize-winning Life of Pi, which was released in 2002. In doing so, he was given an advance of $1 million: the highest fee ever paid for a Canadian novel.

  • Comic series ties together Star Wars mythology

    By August 31, 2010

    As a huge fan of the Star Wars films, I’ve never really ventured into what is known as “The Expanded Universe” composed of books, comics and video games that accentuate and expand the Star Wars mythology.

  • Julie Doiron goes back to basics with latest project

    By August 31, 2010

    With all the loud, idiosyncratic projects Julie Doiron has worked on in the past, it seems oddly natural for her to go back-to-the-basics and turn to her current project, Daniel, Fred & Julie, a stripped-down folksy affair with three-part harmonies sung over traditional ballads.

    Though Saskatoon’s electronic scene may not boast the incredible following it does in Europe or even in Montreal, dub step, soul, hip-hop duo Greenlaw will look to inject the city with a healthy dose of electronic rejuvenation when they travel to Saskatoon.

  • Behind the scenes with Cirque du Soleil

    By August 10, 2010

    Many would not stop to think about how much effort goes into a single production of Cirque de Soleil’s Alegria, but before any production, a huge amount of preparation takes place to make the show possible, and much of it is done by the performers themselves.

  • Rocky Mountain Rebel Music an undiscovered talent on Canada’s indie scene

    By August 3, 2010

    Rocky Mountain Rebel Music is a precious jewel amongst Canada’s indie rock scene that I first discovered last summer while living in Victoria, B.C.
