Writing home

a PEN Canada anthology

Edición de la obra Writing home

A sequel to Writing Away, the acclaimed and successful travel anthology, Writing Home is a rich, provocative, and entertaining collection of pieces on the highly personal subject of home by forty-four celebrated Canadian authors and personalities. Among them: Margaret Atwood brings her wit to bear on the language of home; Wayson Choy discovers a long-lost mother; Ron Graham reflects on Quebec's possible separation; Greg Hollingshead elects a weather dock as quintessential home; Rohinton Mistry tells a cautionary tale of a king downsizing his kingdom; Michael Ondaatje finds a strange home when, ill in Sri Lanka, he sees his own death; broadcaster Shelagh Rogers confirms the dream-like power of "the cottage"; Carol Shields reveals images of home carried with her while abroad; Linda Spalding writes movingly of the death of her brother; Jane Urquhart revisits, through memory, the vanished world of a mining settlement north of Lake Superior.
