Rigelhof presents an impressive work of literary criticism, highlighting the country’s great talent since 1984. But it’s more than just a criticism, it’s a celebration of Canadian literature with works from over a hundred writers from Michael Ondaatje to Timothy Findley to Yann Martel. Newer lesser known writers are also featured, who have affected Rigelhof in some way such as Brad Smith “a carpenter by trade (he’s also been a farmer, a railway signalman, insulator, truck driver …) he’s funny, poignant, evocative, and he tells a blistering tale.” A lover of books, a critic, and a reviewer for the Globe and Mail, Rigelhof knows his books, and has probably read more Canadian fiction than any one else around. But in Hooked on Canadian Books, Rigelhof takes his critic/reviewer hat off and becomes simply a reader, sharing with other readers “…writers that have made a difference in this reader’s life.” With his insights, arguments and observations on what the Canadian novel is or is not, and often with an international perspective, he generates more than enough discussion and debate for all lovers of fiction. A perfect accompaniment for any book club. Highly recommended. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Having been a contributing reviewer for The Globe and Mail for more than twenty years, T.F. Rigelhof knows good literature. Hooked on Canadian Books is a conversational survey of the novels published since 1984 he deems to be "the good, the better, and the best." In addition to his readings of well-known Canadian writers, he brings the work of newer and lesser-known voices to more deserving attention, relates personal moments shared with his picks, details his relationship with the Montreal bookstore that got him hooked in the first place, all while defending Canadian literature from stereotypes, celebrating its successes, and promoting its future. Perfect for book clubs. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
