Description
As a man of letters, as a poet, novelist, and personal journalist, Barry Callaghan is a singular presence in Canada. Always a storyteller, a flaneur “secretly attuned to the history of the place and in covert search of adventure,” he is also a public scholar in the tradition of Edmund Wilson (his extraordinary portrait of Wilson concludes this volume).Unflinching before the harsh complexities of our time, RAISE YOU TEN, like RAISE YOU FIVE (2005), is, as trumpeted by the Globe and Mail – “Literary criticism and cultural history of a high order, in turn joyous, acerbic, celebratory.”
About the author
BARRY CALLAGHAN founded the internationally celebrated literary quarterly, Exile, and imprint, Exile Editions, while he was a war correspondent in the Middle East and Africa in the 1970s. He is a novelist, poet and journalist and his work has been much anthologized. His numerous awards include Toronto’s One Hundred Outstanding Citizens Award, the inaugural W. Mitchell Award and the Foundation For The Advancement of Canadian Letters Award for Fiction which he was honoured with twice.
