Luanne Armstrong and Zoë Landale have put together a thorough survey of the growing body of Canadian creative non-fiction, covering the areas of memoir, personal essay, cultural journalism, lyric essay and nature or place essays. These works are only a sampling of the diversity of Canadian writing, but together they create the best possible beginning for the exploration of this intriguing genre.
This anthology was required reading for my creative non fiction writing class in university. It was a great addition to the instruction as examples of that type of writing. I am very happy to own this book in my collection.
