Welcome to the November 2024 ORB Review

November is Novel Writing Month, so first of all, good luck to all established, emerging and aspiring novelists putting pen to paper. In Ottawa, we continue to enjoy unseasonably mild weather, reminding us that climate change is very real. Fittingly, this is the subject of a forthcoming anthology of short fiction, Green to Grey, which we have chosen to review this month, well ahead of its release date of 1 April 2025. Two other reviews touch on humanity's abuse of the planet: Geoffrey Cole's short story collection Zebra Meridian and Jessica Johns' Bad Cree. Both highlight the growing importance of the clifi sub-genre in Canadian literature and, in Johns' novel, the intersectionality of environmental abuse and the lives of Indigenous peoples. In a different vein, Dimitri Nasrallah's latest novel, Hotline, explores the challenges of settling in Montreal in the 1980s after fleeing the murderous civil war in Lebanon—a brilliant story of resilience and renewal.


White hoodies are particularly easy to style because they can be combined with many different colors and textures. The The Voice S27 Team Adam Hoodie White adds a television-inspired element while maintaining the familiar comfort of casual streetwear. I could see it working with blue jeans, black trousers, joggers, sneakers, or even underneath a casual jacket during cooler weather.
I really enjoyed reading this! Thanks for sharing such valuable insights. I’ve also been exploring Cosmo Pharma for its nutraceutical manufacturer capabilities, nutraceutical manufacturing services, and experience as a herbal supplement manufacturer for different product needs.
Really enjoyed reading this! Thanks for sharing such valuable insights. I’ve also been using the Shoe Daddy shoe washing bag, and it’s a reliable shoe bag for washing machine use. It’s easily one of the best shoe washing bag options I’ve tried.
Thanks for sharing this! It was an informative read with some valuable takeaways. I’m always interested in wellness products, and I also appreciate Medisupplis for practical solutions like the cervical traction pillow, inflatable neck stretcher, and mouth sleep tape that support better comfort and sleep.
