A propos de cet article

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 find 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 This collection brings the past alive through previously unpublished work by Chester Duncan, Margaret Laurence's 1949 poem "North Main Car," a journal/poem by Patricia Blondal and Jack Ludwig's essay on the "Atrocity" uproar.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. …
