Carry on Bumping

A fresh group of writers, critics, booksellers, poets, and novelists heap scorn and vilification on Canadian iconssuch as Margaret Atwood, stuffy academics, feminist poets, Elspeth Cameron, contemporary literary theory, and The Canada Councilin this collection. Contributors include Hugh Hood, Louis Dudek, William Hoffer, Brian Fawcett, Robin Skelton, Maggie Helwig, and Winslow L. D. Howard. Vitriol, humor, and cynicism march together against the shibboleths of Canadian culture.
