At home Frank and I are mutually sympathetic to the obligation to face one another and speak loudly; or, when we are away, to supply each other with new batteries when we forget them; but we have no defence against the independent wandering behaviour of our hearing aids. They are always someplace else. I probably have spent one percent of my life, close to a whole year, looking for the damned things.

The Boss lady wants the Wississauga Cable TV Community News team to loosen up, play the field and put on a show—the second installment of Hal Niedzviecki's new novel, The Archaeologists, serialized in Geist and four other Canadian literary magazines.
Geist is the Canadian magazine of ideas and culture—every issue brings together a sumptuous mix of fact + fiction, photography and comix, poetry, essays and reviews, and more of the weird and wonderful from the world of words.
Geist distills the Canadian imagination into a tactile, stackable, admireable, finishable and entirely shareable magazine.

Notes & Dispatches from ANDREW UNGER, ADÈLE BARCLAY, KATHERINE J BARRETT, and WILLIAM BESSAI-SAUL; Fiction by SHERI DOYLE; Feature essays from ERIKA THORKELSON and KASIA VAN SCHAIK; Poetry by OWEN TORREY and MORGAN LEATHEM VENTURA; and much more!
