An Interview with George Bowering George Bowering's Stone Country uncovers Canada's past with a flair and humour sure to charm history buffs and history phobes alike. Read about Bowering's approach to Canadian history in our exclusive interview with him. Q: There have been many historical surveys of Canada. What makes Stone Country different? A: I don't think that it is particularly unique, but it is unusual. I don't just mean because it starts millions of years ago, or even that Montcalm wins at the Plains of Abraham. But most important, and the only reason I wrote it, really, is the fact that people often come up to me and say, "If history had been written like this when I was going to school I would have majored in it." When my editor at Penguin blackmailed me into writing history books, she said wanted books that sounded as if they had been written by me. Q: You have written acclaimed pieces in a wide variety of styles. What appealed to you about working on a non-fiction account of Canada's past? A: I have to tell you that no matter all the grumbling, I do like the research, which for me is not all that onerous digging that real historians have to do. And, you know, the more I learn about Canadian history, the more I like Canada. I just wish I had a funnier name. Most Canadian historians have funny names.

Acknowledges that the province on the far left of the map has always been a pretty strange place, but it also tells a serious story of touchy race relations, heroic men and women, and the kind of romance that makes sensible people want to write books. It's a new kind of history - intensely personal, impeccably researched, intentionally provocative, unexpectedly spiritual, and laugh-out-loud funny - that encourages us to question received wisdom and ponder the elusiveness of history. Book clean and unmarked with moderate wear and slight lean to spine. Dust jacket with closed tear to top of back panel and moderate edgewear with one or two chips missing. Solid copy.
