Magic Lies The Art of W.O. Mitchell

"The first section in Magic Lies examines Mitchell's fiction; the second, his writings for radio, television, and theatre; and the third is composed of interviews and personal recollections. Contributors include literary scholars, novelists, theatre and television directors, an actor, and a popular radio host and journalist. Together their essays invite further creative readings and critical dialogue, and deepen our understanding of a writer whose sense of community and locality has influenced a national literary tradition." "Given the broad appeal of Mitchell's work and the interdisciplinary nature of this collection, Magic Lies will interest both general readers and scholars in the areas of English literature, drama, broadcasting, Canadian studies, and popular culture."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
