This week on Getting Literate, Katie and Julia take a trip into the Ottawa of the past with a novella by Brian Doyle, Angel Square. The gals tackle slurs for Irish Catholics, loving and hating Christmas, and what happens when Santa is a cop. Julia applies the Madonna Whore Complex to the novella, and Katie endorses Ritchie Feed & Seed Inc. PLUS: Family Living, A Christmas Story vibes, and how to spell Chihuahua. As always, there's definitely spoilers, so proceed with caution.

This week's book was Angel Square, by Brian Doyl. More info at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Doyle_(Canadian_writer)
