Description

First published in 1969, Ray Smith's Cape Breton is the Thought-Control Centre of Canada remains as refreshing, innovative and important today as it has in every previous incarnation. Sophisticated, playful, crafted, sly, self-referential and extremely funny, it marks the beginning of a long and important, if unfortunately under appreciated, career by one of Canada's best humorists and innovative story-tellers.

A collection of stories mostly set in Atlantic Canada. The sense of place is very strong. At times the writing is wonderful. At other times it drags a little but well worth the effort.
