Across Canada by story : a coast-to-coast literary adventure / by Douglas Gibson ; with illustrations by Anthony Jenkins. by Gibson, Douglas.

ISBN:  1770412530 (pbk.) 9781770412538 (pbk.) Description:  327 pages : illustrations Summary:  "As one of Canada's leading editors and publishers for 40 years, Douglas Gibson coaxed modern classics out of some of Canada's finest minds, and then took to telling his own stories in his first memoir, Stories About Storytellers. That memoir became a one-man stage show that played from coast to coast. As a literary tourist, he discovered even more about the land and its writers and harvested many more stories, from distant past and recent memory, to share. Now, Gibson brings new stories about Robertson Davies, Jack Hodgins, W.O. Mitchell, Alistair MacLeod, and Alice Munro, and adds lively portraits of Al Purdy, Marshall McLuhan, Margaret Laurence, Guy Vanderhaeghe, Margaret Atwood, Wayne Johnson, Linwood Barclay, Michael Ondaatje, and many others. Whether fly fishing in Haida Gwaii or sailing off Labrador, Douglas Gibson is a first-rate ambassador for Canada and the power of great stories. Douglas Gibson worked as an editor and publisher from 1968 until he retired from McClelland & Stewart in 2007. He published his first memoir, Stories About Storytellers, in 2011"--Provided by publisher. Other authors:  Jenkins, Anthony.
