About the author

Jon Paul Fiorentino

Robert Kroetsch
Robert Kroetsch is a Canadian novelist, poet, and non-fiction writer. In his novel, The Words of My Roaring (1966), he began to use the tall tale rhetoric of prairie taverns. Both The Studhorse Man (1969), which won the Governor General’s Award, and Gone Indian (1973) call the conventions of realistic fiction hilariously into question.

In 2004, he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada.

Editorial Reviews

"The funniest anthology of youngish, hippish Canadian writers that side of Winnipeg. " -- Filling Station, 2003 "Mark Paterson's Other Peoples Showers Or: No Soap Radio is so good it will make you want to lock him inside so he'll finish his first novel faster." -- Montreal Review of Books, 2003 "Almost everything in here is worth reading in its own right, and the book doubles as a catalogue of all the currently-unfamous-but-watch-out Canadian writers of the moment." -- Broken Pencil, 24
