The most important book to be written in more than 40 years about the rise of Canadian literature Arrival: The Story of CanLit brims and crackles, in equal measure, with information and energy. Winnipeg Free PressA Globe and Mail Top 100 BookNational Post 99 Best Books of the YearIn the midtwentieth century, Canadian literature transformed from a largely ignored trickle of books into an enormous cultural phenomenon that produced Margaret Atwood, Alice Munro, Michael Ondaatje, Mordecai Richler, and so many others. In Arrival, acclaimed writer and critic Nick Mount answers the question: What caused the CanLit Boom?Written with wit and panache, Arrival tells the story of Canadas literary awakening. Interwoven with Mounts vivid tale are enlightening minibiographies of the people who made it happen, from superstars Leonard Cohen and MarieClaire Blais to lesserknown lights like the troubled and impassioned Harold Sonny Ladoo. The full range of Canadas literary boom is here: the underground exploits of the blew ointment and Tish gangs; revolutionary critical forays by highbrow academics; the bluntforce trauma of our plainspoken backwoods poetry; and the urgent political writing that erupted from the turmoil in Quebec.Originally published to coincide with the 150th anniversary of Canadian Confederation, Arrival is a dazzling, variegated, and inspired piece of writing that helps explain how we got from there to here.
