The editorial cartoon in\u00a0this morning’s paper shows Frye in profile, very short legs,mostly all head, with a big\u00a0double chin and\u00a0the top half of the head covered in dark volcanic ash, and in the thought bubble the words “The most technologically efficient machine that man has ever invented is the book … not the passenger jet.”\u00a0\u00a0Frye’s just walking past a newspaper vending machine, and the headline on the newspaper is “Authors Cancel Because of Volcanic Ash.”\u00a0 The volcano’s still working for us, even as it’s causing\u00a0tremendous hardship to so many.\u00a0 It’s definitely not a trade-off that we desire.<\/p>\n

We\u00a0lost two authors to the volcano, as I mentioned yesterday, and last evening we lost a storyteller to the snow crab fishery.\u00a0 Apparently the crab fishery is in disarray this year, and Gilbert Sewell, Mi’kmag storyteller from the north of the province, who is also deeply involved in the fishery, was called to an emergency meeting at the exact moment he was to arrive in Moncton.\u00a0 Host Ronald Labelle, an experienced storyteller himself, filled in, and made some other adjustments, and the evening was\u00a0great – everything we’d hoped.\u00a0 People are telling us we should have a storytelling event every year.<\/p>\n

One thing I noticed is that\u00a0the English storytellers (Kay Stone and Ronald) stood front and\u00a0centre on the stage and\u00a0relied on their words and facial expressions to tell their stories, whereas the French storytellers preferred to sit on the stool that was provided and made great use of hand and arm gestures, and bodily movements, to tell their stories.\u00a0 They\u00a0shaped their words and made us see what was happening.\u00a0 I wonder if this might be true more generally of English and French professional storytellers.\u00a0 But whether English or French, they kept us enthralled, for 3 hours!<\/p>\n

Today at noon the focus on storytelling will continue, at a roundtable on “Voyaging into the Unknown in Folk Tales and in Dreams.”\u00a0 The panelists include 3\u00a0experienced, professional storytellers, and\u00a0one Jungian analyst, Craig Stephenson.\u00a0 Key Frye concepts, such as katabasis, descent,\u00a0and labyrinth, will be shadowing the discussion, and perhaps there will be a way to bring them out more explicitly.<\/p>\n

At 4pm this afternoon two New Brunswick authors, Beth Powning and Robert Moore,\u00a0will engage each other in conversation.\u00a0 Beth\u00a0recently published the novel “The Sea Captain’s Wife,” to wide acclaim.\u00a0 Robert is one of the finest poets in this part of the world.\u00a0 They will begin the discussion by talking about the ‘place’ they go to when they are creating a work of art, whether a poem or a novel or a memoir.\u00a0 And how that (interior) place they go to is related to the place where they live.<\/p>\n

There’s lots more going on today – the YMCA Literacy Luncheon featuring guest speaker Guy Gavriel Kay, Dialogue in French with Gracia Couturier and Christiane Duchesne, Book Club in French with Martin Winckler, Caf\u00e9 Underground featuring performances by high school students of their own\u00a0written works, and many school visits.\u00a0 The authors almost always enjoy these school visits, even when things get a little confused sometimes.\u00a0 Apparently Guy Gavriel Kay’s school thought he was coming on Thursday instead of Tuesday, but some quick thinking\u00a0made it all come out all right.\u00a0 With\u00a030 authors,\u00a0and probably close to 100 total classroom visits, it all goes amazingly smoothly, thanks to organizers Nancy Pipes (English) and Roxanne Richard (French).<\/p>\n

Today’s\u00a0highlight, for me, will be 8pm this evening when Craig Stephenson presents a talk entitled “Reading Frye Reading Jung.”\u00a0 It looks like we may have a very good turn-out for this talk.\u00a0 In the audience will be Alberto Manguel, who has accompanied\u00a0Craig on his trip.\u00a0 We – and they! – are hoping the\u00a0ash cloud won’t prevent them from returning to France, sometime later this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
