In these wide-ranging and controversial essays, Lecker explores – and explodes – many of the myths surrounding the business of studying, teaching, and evaluating English-Canadian literature. From Northrop Frye to the New Canadian Library series to Frank Davey to the precarious future of the CanLit industry, Making It Real challenges our preconceptions of our literature, offering new insights into its historic connection with the idea of Canada.
