I got to see Kroetsch read from this back when I was in university and it blew me away. This is a book I go back to whenever I need inspiration, whenever I need my head cleared, or if I'm a long way from home.
Kroetsch has a lot of great novels (The Studhorse Man and Gone Indian are my other favorites) and his poetry is a great way to get people who don't like poetry to see the other side. But this novel is the winner. It's the best novel about Alberta out there. |
Hmmm... maybe we were in the same class. I remember in one of my university classes Robert Kroetsch came into our class of about 20 one day and just chilled out and chatted. I had a pretty good chat with him actually and honestly I totally forgot about it until I saw his name on this list.
