David Adams Richards: Essays on His Works (Writers Series 16)

David Adams Richards: Essays on His Works Edited by Tony Tremblay David Adams Richards is one of Canada’s foremost writers. A writer of poetry, short fiction, screenplays, nonfiction, essays and polemics, Richards’ most prodigious work thus far has been as a novelist. With fifteen books and all of the major Canadian literary prizes to his credit, Richards is still relatively unknown by the reading public. This collection, the first book-length study of Richards’ work, is meant to remedy that situation. Richards’ interview with the editor and opening essay situate his own beginnings as a writer and his dogged persistence in staying the course. Essays by Wayne Curtis, Margo Wheaton, Fred Gogswell, Lawrence Mathews, Inge Sterrer-Hauzenberger, Pamela Jo Boggs, Wayne Johnston, Eric Trethewey, Frances MacDonald, Herb Wyile, William Connonor, Tony Tremblay, Russell Perkin, Sheldon Currie and Alistair MacLeod.
