This volume covers Max's first year of teaching in a one-room schoolhouse in a very rural town in Saskatchewan during the Depression. He was paid with lodging, food and promissory notes. This year taught him about isolation and loneliness. Written episodically, the beginning is humour-laden but that peters out and the ending is bittersweet. Written in 1965 from a contemporary pov honestly about the 1930s. It won't appeal to those who can't handle non-PC content. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

The book that inspired the classic film, Why Shoot the Teacher tells the story of a young man's first collision with reality - an ill-paid teaching assignment in an isolated country school, in the prairies, during the Depression. The young man is, of course, Max Braithwaite, and the story he has to tell is riotous, grim, candid, and infinitely entertaining. While it is perhaps Braithwaite's best-loved book, it is also a vivid evocation of the desolation wrought by the "Dirty Thirties" on the Saskatchewan Prairies, the ordeal of youth among a people bereft of pity and charity, and the human compassion that adds warmth and poignancy to the author's recollections.
