Description

As a man of letters, as a poet, novelist, and personal journalist, Barry Callaghan is a singular presence in Canada. Always a storyteller, a flaneur “secretly attuned to the history of the place and in covert search of adventure,” he is also a public scholar in the tradition of Edmund Wilson (his extraordinary portrait of Wilson concludes this volume).Unflinching before the harsh complexities of our time, RAISE YOU TEN, like RAISE YOU FIVE (2005), is, as trumpeted by the Globe and Mail – “Literary criticism and cultural history of a high order, in turn joyous, acerbic, celebratory.”
