The people are mean, bitter, small-minded, petty, provincial, cheap, and rude. Welcome to Canada.Norman Levine's Canada Made Me, a bitter, critical reassessment of the moral and cultural values of 'the polite nation,' proved so shocking it took 21 years--despite initial acclaim when released in 1958--to see a Canadian edition. A record of his three-month journey from coast to coast, Levine's vision of Canada's seedy and unpleasant underworld is now a laconic classic.
Praise for Canada Made Me "Far better than any book I've ever read about Canada."--Mordecai Richler "Mr. Levine is a true artist, who grinds his bones - and anything else he can lay his hands on - to make his bread."--Bernard Levin, The Sunday Times "Norman Levine sees with a clear eye a good deal of the tragic comedy of human life. And he writes in a marvellously clean, naked prose which is a joy to read." --Edward McCourt, The Montrealer "One of the most moving, most sad, most deeply felt, savage and loving pieces of autobiography I've ever read.--Charles Causley, BBC
