Fred Stenson's _The Trade_ (nominated this year for the Giller Prize) is
set in what became Alberta. It's an excellent book about the history of
Alberta. Tom Wharton's _Icefields_ is also very good -- it's set in the
mountains, around Jasper.

Hallooooo, Inkshedders!
I, like many of you, am caught in the throes of last-minute preparation for
Inkshed. No, that *doesn't* mean I'm sweating over my paper (there are
plenty more last minutes for *that*) -- I'm sweating over [a] what I might
do on talent nite and [b] -- this is the part you can help me with --
rounding up a suitable novel to read on the plane.
I'm looking for something set in Alberta. That's really the only
requirement, although I should note that I'm not big on romances or
mysteries . . . (or westerns, either, but given the venue I might have to
compromise, I guess . . . )
Thanks for any help you can give, and see you Saturday!
Marcy
