Welcome

This blog is an exercise on multiculturalism and Canadian literature.

We are a Toronto based group of three writers that are attending a program called Canadian Journalism for Internationally Trained Writers at Sheridan College.

We have very different backgrounds:

• Lina Grajales
  diplomat, writer
  Colombia


• Intikhab Amir
  journalist, writer
  Pakistan


• Fabio Marchioro
  journalist, writer
  Brazil

As part of an assignment to the Canadian Literature course, we chose a book to be the focus of this exercise: The Jade Peony by Wayson Choy (Douglas & McIntyre, 1995). We will read a chapter a day, everyday, and post each one of us, until 11:00PM, a comment on the section read.

The premise here is to verify how three different writers face the themes of the book and how they will express themselves about its contents on immigration in Canada.
