Member Review
Canadian writers take so much for granted. Canada Council programs. Festivals and readings. Cheques arriving from the Public Lending Right Commission and Access Copyright. The Writers’ Trust of Canada Awards. Apparently, some of us believe that these things sprang unbidden from a naturally generous culture, and will always be with us. But they exist thanks mainly to the sustained creative efforts and constant vigilance of The Writers’ Union of Canada. We owe. We owe those who have gone before us, and we owe those who will come after.

Marion Reidel
Marion writes humorous short fiction and is a spoken word artist. Her characters face familiar dramas yet their tales often end with an unexpected twist. Her first collection, "We Drank Wine", contains linked stories that follow the lives of four women, and their families. They are a satisfying series of satirical tales that blend observation with personal experience. Reidel focuses on the absurdity of ordinary lives and readers will find someone they recognize in these tales.
