If we can imagine leprechauns so fully that they inspire children to travel and search out a magical life even after they realize that magic, per se, isn’t real, then I say we keep on imagining. It pulls me out into the night, flashlight in hand, to discover. It’s a glimmer that burns so low but so steady it won’t go away.

The things that could be as opposed to the things that actually are. This TV series is about a Taiwanese family who lived in Chinatown in Washington, D.C., and moved to Orlando, Florida. It hints at things that are still in shadow-the other children who grew up with their own leprechaun stories and still keep on waiting for gold, the hundred hidden rainbows, the fairies who might have had part in the story. The story of the leprechaun from County Clare has stuck with me for all these years because it glimmers. Jessica, meanwhile, tries to protect her investment property from pranksters. Louis, Eddie, Emery, Evan and Grandma Huang go all out with their costumes. And as Louis, Eddie, Emery, Evan and even Grandma Huang show off their elaborate. The answer, I think, is because these things do matter-at least to some people, at least to me. Fresh Off the Boat Miracle on Dead StreetS2 E5 Comedy 17+ The family has big plans for Halloween. Fresh Off the Boat recap: Miracle on Dead Street In his first suburban Halloween, Louis must stave off the biggest horror: a lame block. Why am I still dreaming, decades later, about the joy of writing to a real live leprechaun? Why am I not writing more explicitly about what it’s like to be a woman in the wings of CanLit, second-guessing my work at every opportunity? Why am I not writing novels that talk about my family’s working class background, for example, or my grandfather’s Quebecois history, for another, or novels that funnel themselves into dialect and humour and relevancy? Why am I drawn instead to that God-or something-that spoke to me on that tiny little island, to novels of men who grow wings, to stories about girls who are overwhelmed by miracles and Tooth Fairies who come to collect?
Less intelligent, less political, less aware, less ambitious. Who cares about fairies and miracles in a world where the gritty stories are the ones that seem to speak the loudest truths? I worry that writing about pretend things-as opposed to realistic things on the pretend stage of the novel-marks me, somehow, as less. In the age of the global story, where the talk is ever more about the political that sings in a novel or the racial tension that plays itself out against the family saga of Person X, there seems to be comparatively little room for stories that play with whimsy as much as they play with words.
This was hard for me to admit, as a writer.
