The Burgess Shale is not all about writerly pursuits, though. Atwood also gives readers some insight into the fashions and foibles of the times. Her recollections and anecdotes offer a wry and often humorous look at the early days of the institutions taken for granted today--from writers' unions and grant programs to book tours and festivals."--Provided by publisher.Henry Kreisel lecture series.Canadian literature20th centuryHistory and criticismNineteen sixtiesIntellectual lifeCanadian Literature / Essays.Canadian literatureHistory and criticism.Nineteen sixtiesIntellectual life.810.90054Atwood Margaret154772MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910792857203321The Burgess Shale3823667UNINA
