Overview

For the better part of two years, Noah Richler has travelled Canada, speaking with writers and exploring the stories that bind Canada together. We are pleased to be able to bring his discussions to you as an enhanced DVD set. The heart of this set is Noah Richler's 10-part radio series originally broadcast on CBC Radio's Ideas in the spring of 2005. To this fascinating look at literature in Canada, we have added photos, biographies, bibliographies and conversations with over 80 of Canada's established and newly published authors including Margaret Atwood, Tomson Highway, Alistair MacLeod, Jane Urquhart and Guy Vanderhaeghe. This work is an unprecedented resource for schools and libraries and yet remains immensely entetaining for those of us who simply love to read.
