Summary
Though officially a biography of the head of publishing house McClelland & Stewart, this book is equally about business and the Canadian literary scene. Jack McClelland was credited with introducing many well-known authors to Canada and the rest of the… world, including Margaret Atwood, Pierre Berton, Irving Layton, Mordecai Richler and Margaret Laurence. The book reveals him to also be a fervent nationalist, devoted family man and perpetrator of often wild stunts that brought attention to his company's books. Some strong language.
