This course introduces students to a variety of significant English-Canadian fiction writers. Students encounter prominent issues and characteristics in Canadian fiction, for example: regional, urban, and rural manifestations; traditional ethnic heritage and newer multi-cultural legacies; indigenous history and culture; gender and sexual identity and relationships; family and community dynamics; socio-economic aspirations and conflicts; war-time experiences; relationships with the Canadian landscape and seascape; work and technology; the ongoing re-creation of a mythic and historical past to define the present and shape the future. Texts will be drawn from various fictional genres, and may include works of creative non-fiction.
