A rich literary heritage in both English and French makes Montreal unique in North America. The Writers of Montreal celebrates the literary heritage of Emile Nelligan, Stephen Leacock, Gabrielle Roy, Hubert Aquin, F.R. Scott, Yves Theriault, and Hugh MacLennan. The Writers of Montreal also celebrates the poets, playwrights, and fiction writers who are actively writing today. Included are Michel Tremblay, Mavis Gallant, Yves Beauchemin, Louis Dudek, Marie-Claire Blais, Irving Layton, Nicole Brossard, and Mordecai Richler. These thirty illustrated biographical essays are an intriguing introduction to a distinguished tradition of Montreal writing, from early colonial times to the present.
