Welcome!

 With all discussions of literature, a great deal can be gained by way of enhanced knowledge and broader understanding, when thoughtful ideas are shared amongst a group of interested individuals. I invite you to share with me the highly memorable experience I have had by reading, A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry, as it has left a lasting impression on my view of great Canadian Literature. I anticipate that you will either be sparked to eventually read this novel yourself or to simply comment on my entries and engage in the exchange of thought about its content and its place as an acclaimed piece of fiction. It is my purpose to not only enrich your lives with the concepts that Rohinton Mistry presents, but to glean a deeper awareness of the books many facets for myself, by writing and discussing any entries I have made. As this collaborative process continues to unravel, I believe that each person who visits not only my blog but the others throughout the class, will have their understanding of Canadian Literature shaped in a very purposeful way. For the novel I had selected, does not present content of a topic situated within the country, and is also not written by a Canadian born author. Both of these elements revolve around India, but ultimately reflect the perspective of a man who now lives in Canada. I hope that this will allow my blog to represent the nature of Canada's diversity when it comes to authors, and on a whole act as a piece of the puzzle that will be established through exploring each others blogs.
