Henry Miller was 43 when
Tropic of Cancer was published. It's listed as one of Time Magazine's ALL-TIME 100 Novels. I'm sure it's on several other "top" lists as well. There's hope for me yet. I am wondering about including Emily Carr in this short story,
Snow Day. If I set the story in 1910, then Ms. Carr will be 39. I almost wish to include her as a child rather than an adult, but the Empress Hotel wasn't built until 1905. Ms. Carr would already be 34. Perhaps it's in the cards that she's the matriarch I know her as from
school and her
resting place in Ross Bay, H 85 E 15.
