Chroniques et points de vue: :We always knew Canadian history could be fun, and Will Ferguson proves it in his second edition of Canadian History for Dummies.

At first the academic reader might register surprise at the choice of author for the Canadian history text in this wildly popular series, but this is truly a match made in editorial heaven.

Don't worry: here, the phrase is not punctuated by the usual soul-searching question mark. lnstead, the Ferguson brothers boldly assert that, since they have both been Canadian their whole lives, they are uniquely qualified to dissect Canadian society. Besides, Margaret Atwood told them to do this book, but that's another story. As a guidebook, How to Be a Canadian contains 'a wealth of information gathered from fact-filled articles that [the authors] sort of remember reading somewhere,' but frankly, the facts are there as ... |

Beauty Tips from Moose Jaw: Travels in Search of Canada»rank: 25816par: Will Ferguson
Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca:He may not know it--and he may not even want the job--but author and humourist Will Ferguson is poised to replace Pierre Berton as national keeper of the facts. Think about it: both men are clearly obsessed with Canada, its history and wrinkles and seams. Both conjure characters from the past to help explain our present. Both have forgotten more about this country than most of us will ever know. The key difference between them, if a metaphor might be permitted, is that while Berton tends to move ... |

With Spanish Fly, his second novel in a career highlighted by humorous non-fiction, Ferguson eschews his trademark Canadiana to explore the American heartland of the late 1930s--a dull, desolate place reeling from the after-effects of the Depression and Prohibition while facing down World War ll. Protagonist Jack McGreary is young man with more than his share of burdens to bear. His mom is dead, his dad is nuts, his ... |
