Canadian Writers at Work features ten of the best interviews from Canadian Fiction Magazine, a literary quarterly devoted solely to fiction. Margaret Atwood, Clark Blaise, Mavis Gallant, Jack Hodgins, Robert Kroetsch, Bharati Mukherjee, Alice Munro, Leon Rooke, Jane Rule, and Josef Skvorecky discuss their work, their narrative strategies, and the growth of Canadian literature. For many of these writers, Hancock's interview was the first in-depth discussion of their fiction. In stimulating conversations he asks about the pressures placed on the art of fiction by the contemporary world, modernist and post-modernist techniques, the influence of biography, and the morality of art. Together these classic interviews, many previously out of print, constitute a fresh and invigorating debate on the nature of Canadian literature.
