Marian Engel

"'This book offers an entertaining as well as instructive entry into Canada's literary history. Engel had close connections to a generation of Canadian writers and publishers in the renaissance-like era of the 1960s to 1980s. The selection process Verduyn and Garay have used has yielded the broadest possible lens through which to view the era and makes for a fascinating, page-turning read.' Helen M. Buss, Department of English, University of Calgary"
