Arrival: The Story of CanLit, by Nick Mount, House of Anansi Press, 448 pages, $29.95. In Arrival: The Story of CanLit, Mount looks at the subject from all three angles. Finally, CanLit is a myth. CanLit writers became fictional characters: Irving Layton the sexual juggernaut, Gwendolyn McEwen as Lilith. If the cultural construction of CanLit was the product, the myth was the advertising, and nobody played the media as skilfully as this generation of writers.
