Howard O'Hagan was one of the first native-born westerners to make a mark on Canadian literature. The purpose of this collection of essays on the works of O'Hagan, edited by Sergiy Yakovenko, is not only to refresh scholarship on his best known work, but also to break the vicious circle of ignoring O’Hagan’s other works—his later novel (1977) and his short stories and sketches, collected in (1958) and (1963). This volume offers two original articles on by Renée Hulan and Carl Watts, and Albert Braz’s profound study of O’Hagan’s . Among the other contributors: Joseph Pivato, D.M.R. Bentley, Kylee-Anne Hingston, Jack Robinson, Sergiy Yakovenko, and something from Howard O’Hagan himself.
