No one writes about illness like this, it was hard to stop crying (in a happy way) because I felt so understood.","OtherText_Review_10":"“Teva Harrison’s diagnosis with incurable cancer removes the expectation of an abundance of more — more dreams fulfilled, more time — but focuses her attention on the near and immediate.

At its heart, In-Between Days is a firm statement that joy and hope can exist in the same space as anxiety and fear; that each day we are given should be lived, as Harrison says, “With a sense of wonder and delight.”","OtherText_Review_11_Auth":"Michael Melgaard","OtherText_Review_11_Src":"National Post","OtherText_Review_12":"Harrison’s drawing style is more freeform than finicky, and her linework has an appealing vulnerability. But even beyond that aesthetic quality, there’s a remarkable directness to seeing vignettes from a life coloured by cancer that cuts to the quick…The results are profoundly, achingly affecting…What’s striking is, as Sontag might say, her resistance to metaphoric thinking. There’s whimsy, to be sure: the author and a friend don tails and sequins and march in a mermaid parade, and Harrison conjures childhood summers spent stargazing and having flower-petal snowball fights. But when it comes to the day-to-day details of cancer, Harrison is unflinching in her efforts to tell—and show—the straight story.","OtherText_Review_12_Src":"Maclean’s Magazine","OtherText_Review_13":"…an unflinchingly honest and occasionally joyful account of Harrison’s day-to-day life","OtherText_Review_13_Src":"Metro News","OtherText_Review_14":"In-Between Days, a graphic novel that combines comics and short essays that explore what it is like to live with incurable cancer, is, all at once, heartbreaking and heartwarming, revealing and honest, all the while showcasing how beautiful and unfair life can be","OtherText_Review_14_Src":"Canadian Jewish News","OtherText_Review_15":"There are many books about living with cancer, and then there is Teva Harrison's, \"In-Between Days\"","OtherText_Review_15_Src":"CBC Metro Morning","OtherText_Review_16":"Inspiring, eye-opening and darkly funny, In-Between Days runs the emotional gamut, with comic strips so sharp they feel like a punch to the heart.","OtherText_Review_16_Src":"CBC Books “How I Wrote It\"","OtherText_Review_17":"In-Between Days offers a fresh perspective, approaching a topic that has inspired so many sad stories with an unexpected vibrancy.","OtherText_Review_17_Auth":"Lauren Scott","OtherText_Review_17_Src":"Rabble","OtherText_Review_18":"Every tale of illness… has the potential to transform a personal story into a universal lesson.

It doesn’t humanize the disease — that would be banal — and it doesn’t aggrandize the journey — that would be self-help bunk. Rather, it portrays the process as something achingly human, a daily tumult of stuff that roughly amounts to survival. Teva Harrison has stared into the abyss. And what has stared back but love?","OtherText_Review_2_Src":"Richard Poplak, author of Ja No Man","OtherText_Review_3":"Teva’s art and reflections powerfully capture the struggles of being young and facing the certain, yet uncertain end of your life.

Teva Harrison answers this question with pitch-perfect honesty and clarity, even when delving into her own complex contradictions. From Harrison’s rigorous honesty comes wisdom. In-Between Days is a beautiful offering. This book fills my heart. The world is lucky to have Teva Harrison. She truly knows how to live, and to love.","OtherText_Review_4_Src":"Angie Abdou, author of Between","OtherText_Review_5":"With great wisdom, Teva Harrison understands that her cancer doesn’t make her special. But this book certainly does. Through her art and her words, we are reminded of the power of creativity, and that hope for the future is an essentially creative act.","OtherText_Review_5_Src":"Andrew Westoll, author of The Chimps of Fauna Sanctuary","OtherText_Review_6":"Teva Harrison is a metastatic voice that I believe is breaking through. By using humour and creativity to draw people in to a challenging topic, Teva is expanding the breast cancer conversation and shedding light on the complexities and nuances of the disease. I believe In-Between Days will help improve public understanding as well as empower and support others dealing with metastatic breast cancer. Beautifully done.","OtherText_Review_6_Src":"MJ DeCoteau, Founder and Executive Director of ReThink Breast Cancer","OtherText_Review_7":"Heartbreaking. Profound. Sly and brutal and funny and crushing. Teva Harrison’s In-Between Days is one of the most stunning memoirs I've ever read. Teva’s taught me it’s not about the number of days left to us. It’s about living them completely.","OtherText_Review_7_Src":"Joseph Boyden","OtherText_Review_8":"With insight and honesty, Teva Harrison invites us to join her on this deeply personal, beautifully expressed journey with cancer. Through this remarkable book, we encounter awkward ironies, the quietly harrowing reality of our mortal human condition, and moments of distilled life and beauty. Wryly unflinching in her examination of her condition, its treatment, and herself, Teva shares with us the gift that emerges from her in-between days.","OtherText_Review_8_Src":"Vincent Lam","OtherText_Review_9":"Teva Harrison’s memoir is a frank, moving, powerfully minimalist yet deceptively complex work of art. With seemingly simple, but ingeniously pared-down strokes, Harrison bestows upon her readers the gift of complete empathy. Without forcing a thing she makes her readers FEEL how she feels — it’s remarkable! — and by the end of this powerful shared experience, by allowing her readers into her heart and mind, she occupies with us both our present and future. We’re all in great shape, we realize thanks to Harrison, as living, feeling, loving human beings.","OtherText_Review_9_Src":"Guy Maddin","OtherText_ShortDescription_0":"Teva Harrison’s In-Between Days is an inspiring graphic memoir about living with cancer.","PrizeCodeText_0":"Short-listed","PrizeCodeText_1":"Winner","PrizeCodeText_2":"Long-listed","PrizeCode_0":"04","PrizeCode_1":"01","PrizeCode_2":"05","PrizeName_0":"Governor General's Literary Award","PrizeName_1":"Kobo Emerging Writers Prize for Nonfiction","PrizeName_2":"Joe Shuster Award","PrizeYear_0":"2016","PrizeYear_1":"2017","PrizeYear_2":"2017","ProductFormDescription":"trade paperback","PublicationDate":"2016-04-23","Publisher":"House of Anansi Press Inc","ShortDescription":"Teva Harrison’s In-Between Days is an inspiring graphic memoir about living with cancer.","Subtitle":"A Memoir About Living with Cancer","Width":"6.88","WidthCode":"in"}

Miss Leonard volunteered all her free time to the Mission and consequently had a proprietary attitude. She called everyone folks: the old timers sipping coffee and playing checkers in the dining room, the born-agains who came for breakfast and stayed for Christ, the teenage boys with their wire hanger shoulder blades angling through their “Born to Rock” T-shirts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSometimes a woman would sidle or shuffle or strut into the Mission, her gait keeping pace with her disposition; the coin tosses of bravado or despondency that saw her through her days.

And they were folks, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive or six men were idling outside the Mission when Annunciata arrived, a thin brown girl clutching at the balloon-string of her occasional buoyancy. The snow had finally rotted away, winter rushing through the gutters and gurgling down the drains. A couple of the men were smoking, coaxing a last puff from their burnt-down cigarettes, holding each breath until their eyes bulged. The Mission opened its doors to the city’s jobless, the street people, the panhandlers, the squeegee kids, the homeless ones, although once, when Annunciata had wondered aloud at these poor doorstep ghosts, the Senior Admin. had corrected her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“We don’t say homeless here, Anna. We say ‘persons experiencing homelessness.’” Senior Admin. was a stocky girl with a permanent furrow above her brow.

Annunciata thought that perhaps he was secretive about his name because it was the only thing he owned. On the other hand, maybe he’d just forgotten it—drink did that to a fellow, and crack, and the dog-eyed loneliness that eats its own paws. His eyes were yellowish and his few remaining teeth were grayish. He never smiled and seldom spoke, but when he was hungry he rapped out a shave and a shoeshine on the metal shutters of the kitchen window, and when he was feeling perky he did a soft shoe shuffle in the dust.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnnunciata stopped to watch and applaud. “Bravo!” she clapped. Mr. Um made jazz hands and blew her a purposeful kiss.

But Annunciata thought he said “pizza,” and then some other kind of food. Possibly chicken. It was going on nine and she had to hustle to report for kitchen duty. So did.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Heavens, child, I’m glad we’re not waiting for you to make any big announcements,” said Miss Leonard when Annunciata came into the kitchen shrugging off her jacket and tying an apron around her waist. She meant the miracle of the Lord’s birth which, if she was an angel, Annunciata would have been in charge of.

All over Canada, Stephen Harper’s Conservatives are duking it out with Jack Layton’s New Democrats and the struggling Liberals in a bid to win a majority government.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI’m in Thunder Bay, Ontario, to see Stan Beardy, the Nishawbe-Aski Nation’s grand chief, to interview him for a story on why it is indigenous people never seem to vote.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe receptionist at the NAN’s office greets me and ushers me into a large, common meeting room to wait for Stan. Everything in the room is grey — the walls, the tubular plastic tables, the carpets. The only splash of colour is a large white flag with a bear on it that has been tacked to the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Great White Bear stands in the centre of a red circle, in the middle of the flag. The white bear is the traditional symbol of the life of the North American Indian. The red circle background is symbolic of the Red Man. His feet are standing, planted firmly on the bottom line, representing the Earth while his head touches the top line, symbolic to his relationship to the Great Spirit in the sky. The bear is stretched out, arms and feet open wide, to show he has nothing to hide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are circles joining the bear’s rib cage. They are the souls of the people, indigenous songs, and legends. The circles are the ties that bind all the clans together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese circles also offer protection. Without them, the ribcage would expose the great bear’s beating heart and leave it open to harm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStan walks in and greets me warmly, his brown eyes twinkling as he takes a seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStan is pensive, quiet, and patient. He says nothing as he wearily leans back in his chair and waits for me to explain why exactly I flew 2,400 km north from Toronto to see him and talk about the federal election.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI launch into my spiel, trying not to sound like a salesperson or an interloper into his world, someone who kind of belongs here and kind of does not. This is the curse of my mixed blood. I am the daughter of a half-Anish mom and a Polish father.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI ramble off abysmal voting pattern statistics across Canada, while pointing out that in many ridings indigenous people could act as a swing vote, influencing that riding and hence the trajectory of the election.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStan stares at me impassively.

Every time I try to engage him, asking him about why indigenous people won’t get in the game and vote, he begins talking about the disappearance of fifteen-year-old Jordan Wabasse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was a frustrating exchange, like we were speaking two different languages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Indigenous voters could influence fifty seats across the country if they got out and voted but they don’t. Why?” I ask.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Why aren’t you writing a story on Jordan Wabasse? He has been gone seventy-one days now,” replies Stan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Stephen Harper has been no friend to indigenous people yet if everyone voted, they could swing the course of this election,” I continue, hoping he’ll bite at the sound of Harper’s name. The man is no friend of the Indians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“They found a shoe down by the water. Police think it might have been his,” replies Stan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis went on for a good fifteen minutes. I was annoyed. I knew a missing Grade 9 indigenous student in Thunder Bay would not make news in urban Toronto at Canada’s largest daily newspaper.

I’d ask about Jordan and then I’d swing around and get him to talk about elections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen Stan said: “Jordan is the seventh student to go missing or die while at school.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeven.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStan says their names: “Reggie Bushie.

A scattered taxi slogs by carrying fiendish-looking passengers who attempt to discreetly smoke from barely cracked windows. Discretion is a skill they have fallen out with but they don’t know that yet. They still fancy themselves stealth, piling four parka-plied humans into a single toilet stall, scarves dangling beneath the door, telling tails on them all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVolume control is a thing of delusion in the confined spaces they inhabit. It will be years before this is fully realized by those who escape the scene or are thrown into adulthood by overdose or pregnancy. These lucky few will feel overwhelmingly, retroactively embarrassed by their one-time rock star fantasies. Olive can hear them bawling about their supposed betrayals as clouds of tobacco smoke and slurry syllables updraft skyward through the slightly parted window.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut Olive forgives them their make-believe follies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey are no better or worse than most of the half well-off, half grown-up humans she has met. They are just flawed and vulnerable to the pitch. Olive is no different. She has chased the white dragon into smoky rooms where grad students complained about unkindly thesis feedback while wearing thousand dollar watches. A holiday-tanned winter wrist, a baggie held aloft, another Volvo fob serving key bumps round the ring. Under such circumstances, Olive is for the most part silent. She can pass for one of them until she releases language into the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOlive often holds her rural tongue for fear of being found out. She is not a card-carrying member of the townie majority. And rarely are there other fugitive faces for Olive to hide behind on nights when she wants to get on the go. There was a Mexican painter once. A Russian musician. There was the one Pakistani fellow whose name Olive could never recall. She did not think it was unpronounceable, she just could not pronounce it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are lots of words still beyond her reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike Olive can think of no words to describe the pain felt where her pants nearly meet her feet. She winces and tucks her chin farther inside her coat. She tries to push her neck back to save from catching skin in the zipper. She sniffs back hard and swallows a slippery lob. Her grandmother would not approve of hoarding mucus in the body but her grandmother would not approve of much of what she does lately. Olive sighs and swells and swallows spit to slide the lob along.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOllie my dollie, get a tissue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer grandmother’s voice is always a program running in the back of her mind. But Olive can’t sacrifice a tissue on mere mucus this morning. Her store of napkins is running low and the last time she tried to hock and spit the wind gust blew snot back onto her sleeve. The line of mucus running from her lips to her elbow turned her weak stomach over. A middle-aged woman in a bright blue Canada Goose coat muttered oh for the love of god as she hurried past the translucent boundary. This made Olive feel gross.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe swallows that gross feeling down again while she waits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe can distract herself for a time from the damp soak settling in her heels by watching the craven-faced respectable people meander to their grown-up jobs after a weekend of pretending to be twenty-five. They are not twenty-five. They are not even thirty-five and feel as such. Most internally promise to stay home with the kids next weekend as they turn their faces to or from the sunshine depending on the quantity of painkillers ingested in the car. This temporary commitment to sobriety is bookended by revolving party systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome relish vitamin D while others resent it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe division will not last long, though, as the sun already has started to duck back inside the nimbostratus. It will storm again today as surely as the nearly forty will go out again in four days’ time. The babysitter will be called. The cat will be let in. They will flee their houses for a little look around.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGet the stink of house off ya.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey will reliably cloak this smell of domestication in alcohol and nicotine and self-loathing until Monday. Mondays are for quitting everything. Again. Except when it storms on Monday. Then quitting everything is pushed to Tuesday.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday is such a Tuesday.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe weekend warriors refuse to sell out and so have fully bought in pound for pound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOlive is just the same. She too had been sold the notion of party drugs as lazy fun and then fast gobbled them hand over fist. Swallow, snort, smoke; ingestion is an irrelevant matter of personal preference and ease. There is no wall to wall them out. Or in. Drug trends are trendingalong regardless of national media reports daily updating all on their progress east and upward. Olive has watched the same scenes play out on repeat in dark corners of the late night since arriving in Sin Jawns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd they’ve gone and stashed the kits everywhere to protect against the siren call. A first line of defence kept behind wine bars. Under the bathroom sink. In purses. And Olive knows she must address the long list of reasons why self-medicare is needed to comfort her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEventually. \u003c\/p\u003e","OtherText_Review_0":"The lure of Coles’s often glorious use of language and the importance of reading books that do exactly what Small Game Hunting does — force the reader to face truths that have been hidden and swept away for far too long, to be made uncomfortable and prompted to think rather than be simply entertained — are reason enough to give this up-and-coming author’s new work serious consideration.","OtherText_Review_0_Src":"Quill and Quire","OtherText_Review_1":"What recommends this novel most is the way its author stays with her characters’ hurt, how she holds it without reverence but understands how those wounds can motivate like nothing else . . . Small Game Hunting at the Local Coward Gun Club is a dark, taut, funny novel that feels for its characters’ pain while remaining caustic toward the enablers and the kinds of violence that polite society allows.","OtherText_Review_1_Src":"Globe and Mail","OtherText_Review_2":"A profound read, offering up perfectly crafted sentences in the thoughts of the motley cast of characters.","OtherText_Review_2_Src":"Canadian Living","OtherText_Review_3":"Although Small Game Hunting is often tragic and heartbreaking, its finale offers a glimmer of hope that we are invited to be brave and wait for. The hope that sees women, both tattered and changed by the work of male violence and power, not at a loss for agency or warmth. In the end, Coles’s powerful novel is a tale of resilience.","OtherText_Review_3_Src":"Rabble.ca","OtherText_Review_4":"Early in Small Game Hunting, a Nigerian immigrant asks the heroine about her true origins: ‘You don’t look all white,’ he says. In other words, this is not your traditional Newfoundland novel of social isolation. Instead, Megan Gail Coles portrays the harsh existence of the islanders as emblematic of the human condition itself. The characters’ lives unfold around a fine restaurant.
