Description
"Ground Works is like an axonometric drawing in that it reveals the true inner workings behind and underneath Canada's literary edifice, with Margaret Atwood as the architect and Christian Bok as the engineer. Together Atwood and Bok have assembled an anthology unlike any other in Canadian literature. Here are the wild and weird, transgressive and transformative, funny and fearless works at the root of our best writing. Here is our avant-garde, the works that were ground out by show more "ground-under" writers, as Chris Scott calls them in his experimental novel, Bartleby. The works that challenged and changed our literary ground from underneath."--BOOK JACKET. show lessTags
