- Crossing the River
The twelve previously unpublished essays which make up Crossing the River commemorate and celebrate the life and work of Margaret Laurence, Canada's most beloved author. When it was learned Margaret Laurence was suffering from a terminal illness, this book was conceived as a tribute by Manitoba writers and critics to be placed in her hands. After her death made that goal impossible, Crossing the River became an opportunity for the wider community of Canadian and European critics to honour the invaluable contribution Laurence has made to Canadian literature and society.Crossing the River includes essays by Diana Brydon, Helen Buss, Keith Louise Kulton, Hans Hauge, Paul Hjartarson, Constance Rooke, Per Seyersted, Walter Swayze, Craig Tapping, Aritha van Herk, David Willliams, and Herbert Zirker.
