Bart Beaty on Herve St. Louis Vs. DWAs

I think that the analogy drawn by Herve St-Louis between language and bodily mutilation obscures more than it illuminates, but I do think, otherwise, that he is absolutely correct. I have been dismayed by the fact that the DWA present themselves as a Canadian award when they do not consider works in French. The DWA's vision of Canadian comics is, frankly, one that I can't endorse. Despite his over-heated rhetoric, St-Louis has highlighted a very serious issue with these prizes.
