Illustrated By Nate Powell One could become a Toronto lit-culture junkie based on Emily Schultz’s contributions alone. Though Joyland is her first novel, Schultz has already released a short story collection (Black Coffee Nights, Insomniac), a biography (Michael Moore: a Biography, ECW) and an anthology (Outskirts: Women Writing from Small Places, Sumach), played the part of editor for magazines THIS and Broken Pencil and created The Pocket Cannon series. Schultz’s Joyland touches on an ignored past—coming of age in the era of Cheez Whiz and Donkey Kong.
