In the spring of 2011, Naheed Nenshi flew off on his first big overseas junket as mayor of Calgary—a trade mission to China. His destination was Beijing, and he arrived after a gruelling flight in the same scuzzy state as any long-haul passenger, exhausted and aching for

a shower. Still not used to the jetsetting holder-of-high-office circuit, he’d made the trip in a T-shirt and jeans. He was met at the baggage carousel by a Chinese government escort and whisked into a black SUV with tinted windows, which raced the newly minted VIP toward his first meeting down special traffic-free lanes reserved for senior officials. It took some cajoling, but Nenshi convinced his reluctant minders to stop off at his hotel so he could at least change into a suit.

A few double-time, VIP-lane minutes later, a more presentable Mayor Nenshi was led into the palatial working quarters of the Mayor of Beijing. Bleary but beaming, Nenshi strode into his Chinese counterpart’s office to find it full of sober, dark-suited men awaiting His Calgarian Worship’s arrival.

Out of the corner of his eye, Nenshi spotted a familiar face: Doug Horner, the deputy premier of Alberta. Horner had positioned himself several deferential steps behind Nenshi, in keeping with local custom. In China, the mayor of a major city is a far more powerful and more revered official than some lowly provincial apparatchik. No one was much interested in the vagaries of provincial government; the mayor was the dignitary they’d come to meet.

Back home in Alberta, of course, the power balance is exactly the opposite. Naheed Nenshi’s office—and every other mayoral office at every city hall in the province—exists

MY HUSBAND’S CHILDHOOD HOME was on a crescent that curved down a long hill overlooking the North Saskatchewan River in Edmonton. In the late 1970s, on every visit, we noticed

down the block an undistinguished 1950s bungalow being renovated. � is construction project was not merely cosmetic; the entire house was changing, taking on a character and pro� le di� erent from any in the neighbourhood. We watched the silhouette of the West Coast post-and-beam house growing there, fascinated by its elegance and style. We had no idea who was doing the work; we just knew it as the Grotski house, and that its new design seemed to merge outside and inside with huge sheets of glass under a side-facing sloped roof.

I did not know then that the Albertan architect Douglas Cardinal would become a household name, synonymous with a distinctive combination of curves, light and stone—building components, yes, but also echoes, hints of the mysteries of nature that most man-made structures ignore or deliberately shut out.

BOOK REVIEWS

BOOKSHELF

In this literary � ction debut, seasoned humorist and travel writer Will Ferguson draws on the sum of his storytelling skills to deliver a powder keg

of a tale. 419 has a measured, slow-burning fuse, and takes us on a journey via disparate yet connected stories of geography and culture—from Calgary’s snowy streets to Nigeria’s burning delta—bound by the narrative of a criminal investigation.

Ferguson uses the term “tanglement” to describe tales that swirl together until they’re one. � e tanglement that is 419 begins in the urban deep-freeze of a Canadian prairie city. In the Calgary of this tale, winter’s harshness forces people to live in isolation, cut o� from community, from each other, from even themselves. � e author renders these scenes with fractured language, heightening the dystopia of the characters.

In sharp contrast, the narrative also takes us to Nigeria, a simmering, toxic cacophony of a country situated at the other end of the economic spectrum. Here the petroleum industry has le� the people of the Niger Delta in a state of extreme poverty. In a recent survey of 80 countries, � e Economist’s Intelligence Unit determined this West African country to be “the worst place for a baby to enter the world in 2013.”

� e passages set in Nigeria are heartbreaking. Personal stories overlap with myth in rich, region-speci� c images so vividly visceral you can taste the oil. Among others, we meet Nnamdi, a promising young tribesman who draws on his Ijaw

father’s ancient practices and parables to divine a better future.

� e reader is ensnared in 419 when the two cultures clash and converge at a cyber-crossing—a scam email that ignites the story’s fuse. � e scam surfaces when retired Alberta schoolteacher Henry Cutler suddenly dies, leaving his grieving family searching for answers. � ere’s an investigation, a perceptive police o� cer and questions about the deceased’s activities leading up to his death. To the family’s shock, they learn that their change-averse patriarch had lost his life savings to an online fraud. Like Nnamdi, Henry had hoped to alter his lot in life.

Enter Laura Cutler, freelance copy editor. Her father’s money is gone, the case closed, and no arrest has been made. With playful irony, Ferguson allows this unsung publishing worker to shine.

Laura brandishes her forensic editing skills, using typos and misplaced modi� ers to uncover a Nigerian ma� a mastermind. In the act of unravelling the question of her father’s death, she � nds purpose and a way to emerge from the frozen, impersonal landscape she inhabits.

Nigerian email swindles, de� ned under section 419 of that country’s criminal code, cost North Americans over $700-million a year. But Ferguson doesn’t write Nigeria as a black and white place. He � eshes out the grey zone between scammer and scammed with basic personal needs: survival, protection, home. And he does so with a deep love of the written word, using clean, graceful language to bring his tale to life.

Cast with a pall of impending collision, all of this adds up to a book that’s hard to put down. � e 2012 Scotiabank Giller Prize jury—including Roddy Doyle, Irish master raconteur—concurred, declaring 419 the best of 142 works. Ferguson’s Giller win sanctions the importance of story in our nation’s literature and ranks him as one of Canada’s foremost storytellers. While 419 marks an important progression in the Calgary author’s literary output, it stands on its own as a well-cra� ed yarn. And what a gripping, enjoyable yarn it is.—Edmonton-based Lou Morin is a book lover, editor and digital

media consultant, and sister of Calgary writer Elaine Morin.

Alienation runs like a coal seam through Wade Bell’s newest story collection, his third in recent years with Guernica Press. � e title story in Tracie’s Revenge, in

which an unlikable woman plots her escape from a gambling, boozing husband, begins, “She was pinch-mouthed, somewhat paranoid and—or, at least, as she’d o� en been told—completely inconsiderate of anyone’s feelings…” As the story unfolds, Tracie’s disposition and � nal revenge-taking become clear and inevitable.

“Coconuts, Hot Sauce, a Pig Snout in the Stew” follows the gastronomic adventures of a Catalan peasant, a couple on a Mexican-Caribbean vacation, an elderly woman gussied up in purple velvet and a Barcelona divorcee who dispatches her Canadian boyfriend to the Spanish coast, where he promptly acquires a new lover. � roughout, menus are described almost clinically: Cocido, for example, is a Catalan stew of “boiled potatoes, boiled cabbage, fat white sausage, fat black sausage… boiled pig snout, cock (legs only), pig’s ear, boiled calf meat and pelota (meatballs).” Food o� en takes centre stage, while the characters’ emotional trajectories are incidental. In fact, the tale’s meta� ctional narrator, Winston—variously described eating or tapping at a keyboard—has yet to � nish writing.

� ese stories cross other boundaries as well. “Papers and Pearls,” set in early 20th century New Orleans, is told by the not entirely reliable young daughter of a sea captain. “What Happened to the Girl?” recounts one half of a police interrogation in a dystopic near future. “So� & Easy, Hello or Goodbye” takes place in contemporary Calgary, and plays out as a male fantasy of seduction in a bar. “� e Trick,” perhaps Tracie’s Revenge’s most heart-wrenching tale, tracks the disintegration of recently widowed oil-� eld technician Barnett, during a gas-well circuit in his old Ford truck. At his � rst test site, Barnett sprains his ankle avoiding a rattlesnake. � ings go downhill while he struggles with an injury that won’t heal, grief for his wife, and alcoholism.

Bell’s style is straightforward and his language crisp, yet the idiosyncratic textures and uncommon minutiae of place—whether rural Alberta, Catalunya or New Orleans—give the stories depth. � e women are mostly vain and self-absorbed, emotionally stunted or needy, the men o� en disillusioned and frustrated by life events. As simple as the stories may appear, neatly tied-up endings and perfectly clear narratives aren’t Bell’s interest. Rather the reader is o� en le� puzzling. Will these characters follow a successful path a� er all, or continue � oundering? O� en we suspect the latter.—Elaine Morin is a Calgary writer and reformed pipeline engineer.

Tracie’s Revenge

Though “teen” and “troubled teen” sometimes seem synonymous in young adult � ction, Lethbridge author Amy Bright’s freshman e� ort takes a slightly

di� erent route: While the three teens at the heart of Before We Go are certainly troubled, their troubles come mainly from without rather than within. Siblings Alex and Lucy and their new friend Emily are, on the whole, well-adjusted kids who happen to have been dealt extraordinarily bad hands; Emily’s grandmother is in hospital with pneumonia and unlikely to come out, while Alex is losing his second battle with leukemia. � e story hinges on their individual methods of dealing with misfortune as they spend one New Year’s Eve together. Light-hearted shenanigans give way to a sombre race to confront and make peace with their intersecting web of secrets, family histories and devastating losses.

Although the action occurs over one evening, the novel takes on a quixotic, even drowsy pace from the outset, giving the impression that the protagonists have all the time in the world. “Don’t think about [what happens next],” Alex says at one point. “We’re going out. It’s New Year’s Eve. � at’s what happens next.” At � rst, this behaviour poses no problem, even lending credence to the teens’ youthful mindsets and to the notion that they are being swept along by fate. However, Bright starts relying too heavily on her young audience’s willingness to leap feet-� rst with the protagonists from unearned decision to unearned decision. � e charm of their journey together is mitigated by incredible coincidences; at times it seems Emily, Lucy and Alex are kept together more by sudden contrived incidents than by their own desires. As a result, the burgeoning friendship between them—at the outset all the more sweetly impulsive for its unlikeliness—begins to feel calculated and hollow as time runs out for the characters and the inevitable conclusion races up to meet them.

� e novel is at its best in the moments between action, when the characters are given room to deepen. Although their dialogue communicates little of consequence explicitly, one can sense in it the protagonists’ a� ection for each other, as well as Bright’s a� ection for the world she’s created. Far more is revealed in these small interactions, at times clumsily, at times elegantly rendered, than in the segments when the teens are running around having adventures or when Bright is telling us what they’re thinking. Bright’s instincts for warmth and quiet humour at these points suggest a natural � air for developing characters and their relationships that will likely serve her well in future YA e� orts.

MEDICINE HAT CITY HALL 580 1 St SE, Medicine HatCompleted: 1983Architects: Graham McCourt Architects

The design of Medicine Hat City Hall draws on the colours and contours of the South Saskatchewan River valley, acting as an aesthetic bridge between the valley landscape and the city’s downtown core. Winner of the Governor General’s Medal for Architectural Design in 1986, the building features 2,950 m² of exterior glass and was constructed using a special run of 200,000 Centennial Bricks commissioned by City Hall that are similar to the bricks fi rst used to build the downtown. The grounds include several public outdoor spaces such as the Ceremonial Plaza, replete with fountain and clock tower. Visit the City Clerk’s offi ce on the second fl oor to arrange a guided tour or to collect materials for a self-guided one.

ROYAL TYRRELL MUSEUM Hwy 838, Midland Provincial Park, DrumhellerCompleted: 1985Architects: BCW Architects

Not only does the Tyrrell chronicle the 3.9- billion-year history of the Earth, but it is also a world-class research facility. Display galleries—which include skeletons of some of the largest creatures ever to walk the planet—theatres, classrooms, laboratories and a cafeteria and gift shop are combined seamlessly in an attractive, functional building. Calgary-based BCW Architects worked with Dr. David Baird, former director of the Canadian Museum of Science and Technology, to design the 121,000 ft² of museum and research space. BCW also designed the new ATCO Tyrrell Learning Centre, which opened in 2003 and includes several classrooms with distance learning technology that allows researchers to remotely link to dig sites around the world.

UNIVERSITY HALL 4401 University Dr, U of L, LethbridgeCompleted: 1971Architects: Arthur Erickson

University Hall looks like an elegant concrete ship cresting across the coulees of the Oldman River valley. The nine-storey facility includes classrooms, labs, offi ces, student services and residences. Arthur Erickson was one of Canada’s most distinguished architects. He had a modernist style and endeavoured to create buildings that responded to the natural environments in which they were set. “The building becomes the resolution between its inner being and the outer conditions imposed upon it. It is never solitary but is part of its setting and thus must blend in a timeless way with its surroundings, yet show its own fresh presence,” said Erickson. University Hall was designed to refl ect the long, straight lines of both the prairies and the High Level Bridge.

BLACKFOOT CROSSING CENTREHwy 842, Siksika First NationCompleted: 2007Architect: Ron Goodfellow

Site of the 1877 signing of Treaty No. 7 between the southern Alberta First Nations and the Canadian government on behalf of Queen Victoria, the revamped Blackfoot Crossing Historical Park provides an excellent opportunity to revisit or become acquainted with that too often disrespected history. Each design element of the interpretive centre corresponds with a Blackfoot symbol; for instance, the metal sundance arbour poles supporting the centre represent the cottonwood poles in the original sundance structures, while the bow-shaped baluster supporting the railing’s glass reference buffalo hunters’ bows. The centre was built to promote and safeguard the Siksika Nation’s culture. Visitors may tour the facility independently or with a guide.

CARDSTON TEMPLE 348 3 St W, CardstonCompleted: 1923Architects: Hyrum Pope and Harold Burton

Hand-hewn slabs of white granite carved from quarries near Nelson, BC, form this sharp-angled building on its 10-acre plot at the centre of a small southern Alberta town. Mormons settled Cardston in 1887, and plans for the temple were announced in 1913. The architects were chosen through an anonymous design competition, and the winners, 32-year-old Hyrum Pope and 25-year-old Harold Burton, only had three years of experience prior to designing the 90,000 ft² temple. The building’s fortress-like qualities are echoed by the Rocky Mountains to the west, particularly Old Chief Mountain, which vaults up from a gradual slope into an imposing mass of solid rock. The visitor’s centre for this Canadian Historic Site is open during the summer.

LETHBRIDGE CITY HALL910 4 Ave S, LethbridgeCompleted: 2000Architects: Horton Ferrari Matthew Westwood Architects Ltd.

Designed as a centennial project, Lethbridge’s six-storey, 9,400 m² brick and glass city hall is visually and intellectually appealing. A local architectural fi rm (est. 1928) designed the structure to symbolize civic engagement. The curvilinear form suggests accessibility, and the spacious elliptical foyer with 28-ft-high glass walls provides a space for displaying city projects and holding public information sessions. The oval council chamber allows councillors to maintain eye contact while seated, and enables the public to be close to council when making presentations. Outside, a stream of water running off a brick colonnade symbolizes irrigation, which is fundamental to the success of southern Alberta.
