	Review: When Fox Is a Thousand by Larissa Lai
		This made me a fitting audience for this book in some ways, since Lai is rewriting old folktales and myths from her own perspective, taking them apart and applying them to a completely different community, that of second-generation Chinese-Canadian immigrants.
		It is about the mythology of foxes, and much of the enjoyment comes from the fox's irreverant and mischevious attitude towards life.
		If you're in the mood for a beautifully written twist on an old mythology, this is worth a look, particularly if you have others to read it with.

	Mythology's Mything Links: Eastern Europe / Pan Slavic Traditions & Beliefs
		Slavic mythology has a strong focus on the sun, warmth, light, birds, fire (and firebirds), epic victories, and brightly painted cosmic bird-eggs.
		The opposing polarity, the dark, the dead, the cold, the gloomy forests, snakes, drowned spirits (usually female or children), and ruthless hags are feared, even demonized (especially under the influence of Christianity), yet many fairy tales indicate that if this darker world is treated with cautious respect, one will fare well.
		Such an assumption is a consequence of the paucity of knowledge about Slavic mythology.
