Wilson chronicles his encounters with Canadian writers, thinkers, and artists, arguing that Canada possesses a rich and distinctive cultural identity that is too often overlooked by its southern neighbours. With characteristic wit and authority, he surveys the French and English literary traditions of Canada, illuminating the tensions and triumphs that define the nation's cultural landscape. The result is a uniquely engaging transatlantic perspective that remains a landmark in the study of Canadian letters.
