I couldn’t put it down.” – Mordecai Richler “The canvas is broad, the writing is vivid, and the two story-lines are deftly interwoven to contrast cinematic ‘truth’ with history as it happened. An intense and original piece of writing.” – The Bookseller (U.K.) “A richly textured epic that passes with flying colors every test that could be applied for good storytelling.” – Saskatoon StarPhoenix “Characters and landscapes are inscribed on the mind’s eye in language both startling and lustrous.” – Globe and Mail “Vanderhaeghe succeeds at a daring act: he juggles styles and stories with the skill of a master…” – Financial Post “There isn’t a dull moment.” – Toronto Sun “A fine piece of storytelling, which, like all serious works of literature, as it tells its tale connects us to timeless human themes.” – Winnipeg Sun “The Great Canadian Western.” – Canadian Forum “Thematically, this is a big book, an important book, about history and truth, brutality and lies.” – Georgia Straight “A compelling read.” – Halifax Daily News “Vanderhaeghe shows himself to be as fine a stylist as there is writing today.” – Ottawa Citizen A parallel narrative set in the American West in the 1870s and Hollywood in the era of the silent films.

Educator, writer, critic, intellectual, film-maker—Henry Louis Gates, Jr., has been widely praised as being one of America's most prominent and prolific scholars. In what will be an essential volume, The Henry Louis Gates Reader collects three decades of writings from his many fields of interest and expertise. From his earliest work of literary-historical excavation in 1982, through his current writings on the history and science of African American genealogy, the essays collected here follow his path as historian, theorist, canon-builder, and cultural critic, revealing a thinker of uncommon breadth whose work is uniformly guided by the drive to uncover and restore a history that has for too long been buried and denied. An invaluable reference, The Henry Louis Gates Reader will be a singular reflection of one of our most gifted minds. Views: 26
