Men Without Fingers, Men Without Toes
What happens once the rogue rides off into the sunset? This cross-genre essay considers the figure of the rogue’s decline and gradual dismemberment in the face of the pressures of the world. Beginning with the “rogue” digits and other body parts lost by the men who surrounded him in his youth—especially his grandfather—Dobson considers the costs of labour and poverty in rural environments. For him, the rogue is one who falls somehow outside of cultural, social, and political norms— the one who has decided to step outside of the establishment, outside of the corrupt élites and their highfalutin ways. To do so comes at a cost. Turning to the life of writer George Ryga and to the poetry and fiction of Patrick Lane, this essay examines the real, physical, material, and social costs of transgression across multiple works linked to rural environments in Alberta and British Columbia. The essay shows the ways in which very real forms of violence discipline the rogue, pushing the rogue back into submission or out of mind, back into the shadowy past from whence the rogue first came. Resisting nostalgia while evincing sympathy, this essay delves into what is at stake for one who would become a rogue.

When Horror Becomes Human: Living Conditions in \Buffy the Vampire Slayer\
Joss Whedon, the writer-director and creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, thought of his series in terms of \"My So-Called Life meet[ing] The X-Files. The episode, then, presents this question by way of conflating the two forms of skepticism I discussed before: on the one hand we have an epistemological skepticism, which casts its shadows of doubt over the existence of objects in the world, if not over the existence of the world at large, and on the other we have a form of skepticism specifically addressing the existence of other minds, which distinguishes itself from the former on grounds that the existence of another creature as a human being depends on our granting and projection of it, whereas the existence of one world or another does not await our judgments.

Book Review
Denial
Again and again in my mind I saw a thin, determined, no-longer-young woman running all out to save a point in a pointless game. The fact is that in our marriage Margaret does have absolute veto power- the tax business being just one instance of her ability to exercise her will over me. Sally's right here-and the fragrance of her excitement raises my own heightened sense of freedom and power.
