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.

CASLL/Inkshed <[log in to unmask] > 05/07/01 12:15 PM Please respond to CASLL/Inkshed 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!
