(?   -?   ) Canadian author of The Chronicle of Kan-Uk the Kute [for subtitle see checklist below] (1918), a Satirical description of World War One, couched in quasi-Biblical cadences. The distortions in the spelling of names and places, and the explicit provenance given in the subtitle, make it clear that Kan-Uk has written down his tale at some point in the Near Future just after the war has ended (the book itself was issued before the end of conflict), and that his "scroll" has been discovered, and published, much later (see Ruins and Futurity).
