Through a series of conversations with both established and younger writers from across the country, Kit Dobson and Smaro Kamboureli investigate how writers perceive their relationship to the cultural economy - and what that economy means for their creative processes. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The interviews in \u003ci\u003eProducing Canadian Literature\u003c\/i\u003e focus, in particular, on how writers interact with the cultural institutions and bodies that surround them. Conversations pursue the impacts of arts funding on writers; show how agents, editors, and publishers affect writers' works; examine the process of actually selling a book, both in Canada and abroad; and contemplate what literary awards mean to writers. Dialogues with Christian Bök, George Elliott Clarke, Daniel Heath Justice, Larissa Lai, Stephen Henighan, Roy Miki, Erín Moure, Ashok Mathur, Lee Maracle, Jane Urquhart, and Aritha van Herk testify to the broad range of experience that writers in Canada have when it comes to the conditions in which their work is produced. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Original in its desire to directly explore the specific circumstances in which writers work - and how those conditions affect their writing itself - \u003ci\u003eProducing Canadian Literature\u003c\/i\u003e will be of interest to scholars, students, aspiring writers, and readers who have followed these authors and want to know more about how their books come into being. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eProducing Canadian Literature: Authors Speak on the Literary Marketplace\u003c\/i\u003e, by Kit Dobson and Smaro Kamboureli\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForeword: Producing a Globalized Canadian Literature and Its Communities  Jeff Derksen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction  Kit Dobson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1. \u003ci\u003eToo Bloody-Minded to Give Up\u003c\/i\u003e: Interview with Christian Bök  Kit Dobson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2. \u003ci\u003eThe Politics of Our Work\u003c\/i\u003e: Interview with Ashok Mathur  Smaro Kamboureli and Kit Dobson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3. \u003ci\u003eChange the Way Canada Sees Us\u003c\/i\u003e: Interview with Lee Maracle  Smaro Kamboureli and Kit Dobson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4. \u003ci\u003eA Very, Very Uncertain Way to Make a Living\u003c\/i\u003e: Interview with Jane Urquhart  Smaro Kamboureli and Kit Dobson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5. \u003ci\u003eTo Hear This Different Story\u003c\/i\u003e: Interview with Daniel Heath Justice  Smaro Kamboureli and Kit Dobson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 \u003ci\u003eCrossing Borders with Our Work\u003c\/i\u003e: Interview with Erín Moure  Smaro Kamboureli and Kit Dobson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7. \u003ci\u003eNo Reason to Fool Yourself\u003c\/i\u003e: Interview with Aritha van Herk  Kit Dobson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8. \u003ci\u003eLiterature Survives through Its Variety\u003c\/i\u003e: Interview with Stephen Henighan  Kit Dobson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9. \u003ci\u003eUnder Conditions of Restraint\u003c\/i\u003e: Interview with Larissa Lai  Smaro Kamboureli and Kit Dobson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10. \u003ci\u003eA Book of Poetry in the Mix\u003c\/i\u003e: Interview with George Elliott Clarke  Smaro Kamboureli and Kit Dobson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppendix: Timeline of Canadian Cultural Bodies since the Massey Commission\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBibliography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wilfrid Laurier University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53188666032471,"sku":"9781554583553","price":27.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/producing-canadian-literature-authors-speak-on-the-literary-marketplace-9781554583553","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
