As new. Paper bound, illustrated, Pp367. Includes notes on contributors at back. A fine, unmarked copy. 700 grams. From the rear cover: "Why has Winnipeg produced so many outstanding writers? The Winnipeg connection: Writing Lives at Mid-Century, edited and with an introduction by Birk Sproxton, looks to the 1940s and 1950s to f…ind an answer. This collection of personal essays and articles on writing, radio, music, television and filmmaking, as well as a selection of photos, depicts the Winnipeg of the mid-twentieth century. It was during those years that Margaret Laurence, Jack Ludwig, Adele Wiseman, Patricia Blondal, John Marlyn and the inimitable John Hirsch came of age to stand beside such distinguished predecessors as Marshall McLuhan, Sinclair Ross and James Reaney, figures who contributed immensely to the cultural vibrancy of today's city. This collection brings the past alive through previously unpublished work by Chester Duncan, Margaret Laurence's 1949 poem "North Main Car," a journal/poem by Patricia Blondal and Jack Ludwig's essay on the "Atrocity" uproar. Contributors Walter Swayze and Jack Bumsted, Christopher Dafoe and Dick Harrison, Meeka Walsh and Dawne McCance, Margaret Sweatman and Di Brandt, Tricia Wasney and Gene Walz, among others, challenge us to see Winnipeg in a new way." "Winnipeg is a giving place. It gives energy and substance to creative effort. It receives in return an abundance of accomplishment. This book is nothing less than a portrait of Winnipeg as home: Winnipeg as a cultural home to its citizens, and to Canadians everywhere." ~Robert Kroetsch. We welcome all reasonable offers on our books. All books in stock and available for immediate shipment from Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Condition: Very Good+. An unmarked copy-" As expansive as a prairie sky, as refreshing as a cool breeze on a hot summer day, Great Stories from the Prairies collects the best prairie stories of the last one hundred years. From Frederick Phillip Groves's classic "Snow" to the contemporary delights of Sandra Birdsell and Carol Shi…elds, prairie writers have existed always in relation to landscape and a strong sense of place. Tracing the development of prairie writing over one hundred years, Great Stories from the Prairies reveals how broad the influence of landscape but also provides refreshing insight into its many nuances. You will find, for instance, traditional cultural icons of wind, dust, and the vast expanse of land and sky. But nestling against them you will discover the rich circuitry of city life, as in the stories of Guy Vanderhaeghe, Carol Shields and Meeka Walsh. Playing off that nuance is the parklands and boreal forests of Kristjana Gunnars and W.D. ValgardsonA-s great inland sea of Lake Winnipeg. But perhaps Great Stories from the Prairies is best characterized by Margaret Laurence, who speculates about how prairie dwellers with their "horizon accustomed eyes" see the world differently from other Canadians. This unique collection celebrates that distinct view. A wonderful collection of old classics and modern short stories highlighting the beautiful world of the Canadian Prairies in all its seasons; From Frederick Philip Grove to Carol Shields.".
