Oakbank author Sheila McClarty won first prize at the Sheldon Currie Fiction contest.

The charivari is a loud, late-night surprise house-visiting custom from members of a community, usually to a newlywed couple, accompanied by a request for a treat or money and/or pranks. While later charivaris maintained the same rituals, their meaning changed to a welcoming of the marriage.
Make the Night Hideous explores this mysterious transformation. Pauline Greenhill’s unique and fascinating work explores the malleability of a tradition, its continuing value, and its contestation in a variety of discourses.
Pauline Greenhill is a professor in the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies at the University of Winnipeg and the co-editor of Fairy Tale Films: Visions of Ambiguity and the Encyclopedia of Women’s Folklore and Folklife.
