Karr describes the relationships between authors, literary agents, and publishers in Toronto, London, New York, and other centres; examines the relationship between authors and the movie industry; and discusses the reception of fiction by critics and readers. This is the first Canadian study to use fan mail to highlight readers' interactions with author and text. Karr places the authors' careers in an international setting and shows how, despite living a considerable distance from the leading cultural production centres of New York and London, they became internationally recognized and read.Canadian fiction20th centuryHistory and criticismAuthors and readersCanadaHistory20th centuryPopular literatureCanadaHistory and criticismPopular cultureCanadaHistory20th centuryCanadian fictionHistory and criticism.Authors and readersHistoryPopular literatureHistory and criticism.Popular cultureHistory813/.5209971Karr Clarence1941-1649519MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910821416103321Authors and audiences3998298UNINA
