Wow, I can't believe that neither of the Canadians snagged this one...
I'm a writer living in Canada.
I struggle to use the written word to convey the vastness of the
landscape, and the inescability of one's own character. I have written
story after story about intelligent women writers (or other artists --
but everyone knows that it's really about writers) with low self-esteem
who lives in a town that is not quite big enough, and not quite
understanding enough, to accept her for the smart, sexy, daring person
she is on the inside, but not on the outside. All my stories contain a
chapter where the main character goes out into the wild, like the
outskirts of town, and witnesses something vast, like a snowstorm, or a
drought, and then comes back into town, a little sadder, a little
wiser, and somehow magically able to fit her
slightly-too-big-for-the-prairies personality into the prairies.
