Covering the works of Canadian authors Alistair Macleod, Michael
Ondaatje, Jane Urquhart, Margaret Atwood and Drew Hayden Taylor,
the author explores how the themes of memory, storytelling and
identity develop in their fiction. For the narrative voices in
these works, the past is embedded in the present and a wider
cultural history is written over with personal significance. The
act of storytelling shapes the characters' lives, allowing them to
rewrite the past and be haunted by it. Storytelling becomes an
existential act of everyday connection among ordinary people, and
in daily (often unrecognized) acts of heroism.
