About the Book

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:

What is Forever

Does Belonging Exist

Luck and Life

We Need Not Hold Our Experiences Against Life

Is There a Script

The Role of Mysteries in People's Lives

Carol, What Is It

Them

Know Thyself and the Writer's Delusions

Wondering What about the Stars and Our Friends

Childhood Versus Later On

Real Life--Does it Really Exist

All Those Prayers--Where are They Going, Exactly

Meaninglessness

Time and Relativity

Each Day We Wake Up and Realize They've Given Us Another Day

Everything is Answered

The Questions in Our Lives--the Balance, and What's Peripheral

Dogs Give Unconditional Love, Why Can't People
