Submissions must be accompanied by a self-addressed return envelope, either with Canadian stamps or accompanied by International Postal Reply Coupons. Submissions without SASE cannot be returned. Articles should follow MLA guidelines for bibliographic format. All works accepted for publication must also be available on diskette.
Remembering 1993 I forgot Amnesia. This time last year, writing about 1992 publications, I omitted mentioning Douglas Cooper's fascinating novel Amnesia, perhaps because (like the French-language works of Nancy Huston, recognized in 1993 with the Governor-General's Award) it was published first outside Canada. This possibility does not so much raise serious questions about the relevance of national boundaries to criticism as it comments on the difficulty (even in an age of "free" trade and mass communications) of keeping up with interesting publications wherever they appear. The bias of information networks always intervenes. Lately, there's been a kind of bureaucratic barrier also set up which promises to do an even more active disservice to Canadian readers. The Globe and Mail reported in February 1994 on the power over books that the Mulroney government of the 1980s (casually? or was it with deliberate intent?) granted to customs officers; a six-week training course in Rigaud, Quebec, including one afternoon on obscenity-recognition, constitutes (says the Globe) all the qualifications that that government thought necessary for the job of literary classification. Now, in practice, all kinds of books—textbooks, classics, children's books—are being barred at the border, often on the basis of a "keyword" in their title, but always in the name of decency. But there's another obstructive practice going on, too. By current regulations, if a foreign publisher sends a "gratis" review book to a Canadian journal at a Canadian university—even a book by a
