Crackers and the Cheese Lady on the Night in Question
Winter had already tried to assert itself a couple of times, but hardly any of the snow that had fallen had stayed on the ground and the sidewalks were clear. On the other side of the street, the sidewalk was packed outside another nightspot, young people waiting to get in, jumping up and down to keep warm. Up the street I passed the entrance to a beautiful old building, an old post office converted into apartments, and there in the lobby, slumped against opposite walls, were a couple of stray bar-hoppers, taking a break from the foolishness, no doubt trying to keep warm. JOE DAVIES' short fiction has appeared widely in Canada, but also in England, Ireland, Wales, India, and the US, in such magazines and journals as Rampike, the Dalhousie Review, HCE Review, Exile, PRISM International, Foliate Oak, Grain, the Manchester Review, and previously in Queen's Quarterly.

'One Day You and I Will Let Them All OUT': Attitudes Toward Animals in Hilary McKay's Fiction
Relationships between human and nonhuman animals are ubiquitous in children's literature, including anthropomorphized representations and depictions of pets, livestock, and wildlife. A critical animal studies perspective explores the relationship between human and nonhuman animals in fiction with the ideal that nonhuman animal characters have agency, goals, and identity comparable to human characters. This essay explores how the interactions between human and nonhuman characters in the middle grades fiction of award-winning British novelist Hilary McKay can be understood through a critical animal studies lens, focusing on McKay's use of animals to show growth and development in her human characters.

Representations of Dogs in Recent Polish Memoirs and Novels
Though in the last decades of the 20th century dog memoirs became an accepted autobiographical subgenre on both sides of the Atlantic, such works were virtually unknown in Poland until the beginning of the 21st century. Before 1989, those few Polish authors who did write on their dogs either addressed the books to young readers¹ or created conventional sketches of favorite family pets, praising their beauty, loyalty, and sagacity.² The first Polish memoirs that put human relationships with dogs (and other domestic animals) in the foreground rather than the background of family life were published after 1995. Quite recently, dogs

Novels arose in the West at the moment when a nascent capitalism expanded the opportunities for men and women in fact to be other some bodies; on the road Don Quixote meets many fellow travelers, most of them headed for Seville, the commercial entrepôt and jumping off point to the New World. The first of these observations, Girard’s locating in the novel his powerful universal, theory of mimetic desire,
