You all know I’m Canadian, and you might also know that Neesha Meminger is Canadian…but did you know that Ah Yuan, who blogs at Gal Novelty, is ALSO Canadian? We’re a nation of fierce women, but as people of color we often find ourselves on the outside of things in our “multicultural” country. This week the spotlight’s on Ah Yuan—check her out in the blogger’s spotlight over at Reading in Color…then swing by Justine Larbalestier’s blog to read about Ah Yuan’s passion for books that hold up a mirror to diverse Asian readers.
Did you hear that the Amazon/Macmillan dispute has been resolved? I just read this article over at Tech Crunch and think Paul Carr makes some really good points—especially for those who think Macmillan was acting on behalf of their writers…
Ah Yuan’s post is heartbreakingly beautiful.
(fascinating Tech Crunch article — thanks for the link.)
