The Killer: Jake Farrow has spent his life hunting big gamehe's one
of the best. His old friend Walter has him brought over from Africa
for a special hunt, to track down and kill the armed robber
responsible for the death of his son. Farrow reluctantly agrees,
but is soon thrown into a mission more deadly than he bargained for
when he meets the bank robber's Southern wife. Devil on Two Sticks:
Steve Beck works for Pat Garland, the crime boss of San Diego.
Garland suspects a traitor in his mob, and tells Beck to ferret him
out. Beck has five suspects, but thinks the fink is Everett,
Garland's lawyer--but is also falling in love with Everett's
daughter. Torn, Beck finds he isn't as tough as he thinks he is.
Margaret Laurence, best known for her germinal novels set in the
Canadian prairies, is one of the nation's most respected authors.
She was also an accomplished essayist, yet today her nonfiction
writing is largely unavailable and therefore little known. In
Recognition and Revelation Nora Foster Stovel brings together
Laurence's short nonfiction works, including many that have not
previously been collected and some that have never before been
published. These works, including over fifty essays and addresses
that span Laurence's writing career from the 1960s to the 1980s,
reveal her passionate concern for Canadian literature and for the
land and peoples of Canada. Based on extensive archival research,
Stovel's introduction contextualizes Laurence's nonfiction writings
in her life as a creative artist and political activist and as a
woman writing in the twentieth century. The texts range from essays
on Laurence's own writings and on other works of Canadian
literature to autobiographical essays, several focusing on
environmental concerns, to sociopolitical essays and writing
advocating for peace and nuclear disarmament. By revealing Laurence
as a socially and politically committed artist, this collection of
lively and provocative essays illuminates the undercurrents of her
creative writing and places her fiction - often informed by her
nonfiction writing - in a new light.
