Omschrijving

For 52 weeks, bill bissett and Carol Malyon met for brunch and conversation at the Golden Griddle in Toronto.

This sustained conversational encounter between Carol Malyon, who writes within the objective bounds of standard English usage, and bill bissett, one of contemporary writing's most exotic practitioners, working with the visual forms of language in his own non-hierarchic, phonetic orthography, produces, as if by accident, invariably astonishing social, moral and ethical critical insights. Each of these writers' particular uses of language--the most radically different in contemporary literature--consistently foregrounds and interrogates the cultural origins of "common" perceptions that too often remain hidden and undiscovered in the dictionaries we search for "common" meaning: proof positive that each person's perception of life's most fundamental questions and answers is almost never shared, and is always and only ever subject to translation, even among those who "share" the same language.

Here is what they talked about:
