About This Item
Canada: Biblioasis, 2017. Paperback. Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; review copy stamp inside front cover; damp circle damage to lower back cover edge; otherwise appears unread; Covering over one hundred books, and peppered with observations on the Canadian writing and publishing scenes. Busby's work explores our cultural past from a unique slant, questioning why certain works are celebrated and others ignored. Illustrated throughout with covers and ephemera, this book offers a casual but nonetheless critical and entertaining exploration of Canada's suppressed, ignored, and forgotten literature, and in the process a curious examination of what we read, when we read it, and why.
