The following entry provides an overview of Kroetsch's career through 1998. For further information on his life and works, see CLC, Volumes 5, 23, and 57. Kroetsch is considered one of Canada's foremost practitioners and theoreticians of postmodern literature. Like many experimental writers, Kroetsch subverts such literary conventions as plot and character development and writes in a playful, ironic, and self-reflexive style. Central to Kroetsch's fiction is the importance of place and its impact on the psyche. He is particularly admired for his depictions of the Canadian prairie landscape. Kroetsch was born in Heisler, Alberta, Canada, and raised on his family's farm. His childhood in rural Alberta, where most of his fiction is set, informs both his fiction and his poetry. His family's penchant for storytelling imbued Kroetsch with a deep appreciation for oral narrative, which often emerges in his writing in the form of tall tales and ribald humor. After graduating from the University of Alberta in 1948, Kroetsch worked for six years in the Canadian North. His initial jobs on riverboats on the Mackenzie River led to the conception of his first and most conventional novel

    Extractions: Skip Navigation Born in 1927 in Heisler, Alberta, Robert Kroetsch is Canada's major postmodern writer. He remained in the prairies throughout his youth, as is evident from the settings for any of his novels. He attended the University of Alberta and received his B.A. in 1948. From there, he worked at various odd jobs in the Canadian North and Labrador. He attended McGill for a year in 1954 to study under Hugh MacLennan, and then completed his M.A. at Middlebury College in Vermont. He earned a Ph.D. in creative writing at the University of Iowa in 1961. He remained in the States until the 1970s when he accepted a teaching position at the University of Manitoba. He is now retired from teaching and lives in British Columbia. Linda Hutcheon calls Robert Kroetsch "Mr. Canadian Postmodern." His first novel in 1965, But We Are Exiles , may follow a more realist tradition but combines elements of myth and literary allusion. His "Out West" triptych

    Extractions: Buy it online Read a review of The Man from the Creeks "We use stories to give shape to our experiences. Service did it so well that it's difficult to get past him. By having my narrator spring forth from the poem, I got loose. A character created by Service talking back to Service, correcting him, so to speak." See Book Reviews on January Magazine. Robert Kroetsch certainly takes his time in composing novels. His newest one, The Man from the Creeks , which is set in Canada's 1897-99 Klondike gold rush, appeared six years after his previous work, The Puppeteer , which had followed the publication of Alibi way back in 1983. Reports are that The Man from the Creeks went through 13 versions and at least one title change (from Klondike Love Song ) before it was ready for submission. Yet this British Columbian author and former creative-writing teacher is hardly ever idle, producing poetry and essays. And while he may not be as prolific as some better-known fictionists, he certainly hasn't suffered among critics for that fact. He won Canada's 1969 Governor General's Award for The Studhorse Man , and each new novel since seems to fetch him a fresh round of praise from reviewers, even if those people don't always quite understand Kroetsch's resistance to the conventions of modern prose writing, his interest in the arcana of his subject matter, or his often-sly humor.

    Extractions: Author's profile: Victoria Cook teaches Canadian literature at the University of Central Lancashire, United Kingdom. Cook's interests include transnational theory with regard to representations of the process of identification, individual and national identity, and the discourse of multiculturalism in contemporary English-Canadian fiction. Her recent publications include papers in Etudes Canadiennes (2002) and in the Journal of Commonwealth and Postcolonial Studies vikkimcook@hotmail.com 1. Michael Ondaatje could be said to exemplify the type of transnational identity that provides the focus for this paper. Born to Dutch parents, in what was then Ceylon and is now Sri Lanka, his family ancestry has been described as a polyglot mixture of Dutch, English, Sinhalese, and Tamil; his paternal grandfather was a wealthy tea planter in Kegalle. At the age of ten, Ondaatje was sent to a public school, Dulwich College in London and at nineteen followed his older brother, Christopher, to Canada, where he took citizenship, went to university, married, and began his writing career. As a product of this somewhat "colonial" background, Ondaatje's position enables him to explore, in depth, the conflicts and contradictions of the type of identity that incorporates a colonial past and a post-colonial present. Complex cultural backgrounds such as that of Ondaatje may be seen frequently to instigate a literature of dislocation and displacement. His latest novel
