      -- Story of CanLit
      By Mount, Nicholas J. (Nicholas James), 1963-
       2017., General, House of Anansi Press Call No: 810.9 M828a    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "In the mid-twentieth century, Canadian literature transformed from a largely ignored trickle of books into an enormous cultural phenomenon that produced Margaret Atwood, Alice Munro, Michael Ondaatje, Mordecai Richler, and many others. Writer and critic Nick Mount answers the question: What caused the CanLit Boom? The story of Canada's literary awakening. Enlightening mini-biographies of the people who made it happen, from superstars Leonard Cohen and Marie-Claire Blais to lesser-known lights like the troubled and impassioned Harold Sonny Ladoo. The underground exploits of the blew ointment and Tish gangs; revolutionary critical forays by highbrow academics; the blunt-force trauma of our plain-spoken backwoods poetry; and the urgent political writing that erupted from the turmoil in Quebec. Nick Mount is a professor of English literature at the University of Toronto"--Provided by publisher.

      -- Monde de Barney
      By Giamatti, Paul  Pike, Rosamund, 1979-  Driver, Minnie  Lefevre, Rachelle  Speedman, Scott  Hoffman, Dustin, 1937-  Gross, Paul  Egoyan, Atom, 1960-
       c2011., Adult, Entertainment One Films Canada : distributed by Entertainment One Call No: DVD Fic Barney    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "Based on Mordecai Richler's award winning novel, Barney's Version is the warm, wise and witty story of the politically incorrect life of Barney Panofsky (Paul Giamatti), who meets the love of his life (Rosamund Pike) at his wedding - and she is not the bride. A candid confessional, told from Barney's point of view, the film spans three decades and two continents, and includes three wives (Rosamund Pike, Minnie Driver, and Rachelel Lefevre), one outrageous father (Dustin Hoffman), an a charmingly dissolute best friend (Scott Speedman). Barney's Version takes us trhough the many highs - and a few too many lows - of a long and colorful life with an unlikely hero at its center - the unforgettable Barney Panofsky."--Container.

      By Cooke, Nathalie  Munro, Alice, 1931-  Taylor, Drew Hayden, 1962-  Robinson, Eden  Roy, Gabrielle, 1909-1983  Clarke, George Elliott  Thien, Madeleine, 1974-  Atwood, Margaret  Richler, Mordecai, 1931-2001
       2023., McGill University Press Call No: NEW QWF 810.9 C772c    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: When literary writers place food in front of their characters--who after all do not need sustenance--they are asking readers to be alert to the meaning and implication of food choices. As readers begin to listen closely to these cues, they become attuned to increasingly layered stories about why it matters what foods are selected, prepared, served, shared, and with whom, where, and when. In Canadian Literary Fare Nathalie Cooke and Shelley Boyd explore food voices in a wide range of Canadian fiction, drama, and poetry, drawing from their formational blog series with Alexia Moyer. Thirteen short vignettes delve into metaphorical taste sensations, telling of how single ingredients such as garlic or ginger, or food items such as butter tarts or bannock, can pack a hefty symbolic punch in literary contexts.

      By Neatby, Nicole, 1962-
       2018., McGill-Queen's University Press Call No: 306.4819 N355f    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Series Title: Studies on the history of Quebec   Volume: 34.Summary Note: "Tourism promoters strive to brand their destinations in anticipation of what they think travellers hope to experience. In turn, travel writers react in part to destinations in line with their expectations. While several scholars have documented such patterns elsewhere, these have remained understudied in the case of Quebec despite the frequency with which the province was branded and rebranded and its status as a major North American travel destination in the decades leading up to Expo 67. The first comprehensive history of Quebec tourism promotion and travel writing, From Old Quebec to La Belle Province details changing marketing strategies and shows how these efforts consistently mirrored and strengthened French Quebec's evolving national identity. Nicole Neatby also takes into account the contentious role of English-speaking promoters in Montreal, belying the view that Quebec was unvaryingly represented and appreciated for being "old." Taking a comparative approach, Neatby draws on books and a wide array of newspapers, popular and specialized magazines, as well as written and visual sources from outside the tourist genre to reveal how the distinct national and cultural identities of English Canadians, Americans, and French Quebecers profoundly shaped their expectations and reactions to the province. From Old Quebec to La Belle Province traces and explains shifting tourism promotional priorities and varying travel writers' reactions over the course of four decades and how in tune they were with evolving national identities."--
