This conversation between Robert Kroetsch and John Lent is guided by love -- of the word, of stories, of reading, of teaching. These two veteran writers circle around the topic, returning to the centre, to the question "where's that damn story?"
Robert Kroetsch was a Canadian novelist, poet, and non-fiction writer. He taught for many years at the University of Manitoba. Kroetsch spent multiple years in Vancouver, British Columbia before returning to Winnipeg where he continued to write. In 2004 he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada.
