This is My Country (Writing about Canada) — Noah Richler

The two focal points of his commentary are story and place, and how each inspires the other through an interweaving of fact and fiction. We define ourselves through narratives that arise from geographical, cultural, and ethnic locales, each with its own grounds for complaint. Richler is a [End Page ] literary environmentalist — a classic Canadian approach — who studies how the ground gives rise to the complaint and then to its cure.

    • The discursiveness of each chapter is met by a fondness for order, as each is organized geographically and thematically: These themes are further constrained by analytical schemes proposed tentatively rather than authoritatively. Canadian discourse proceeds from 'the age of invention,' to 'the age of mapping' and finally to 'the age of argument.

    This Is My Country, What’s Yours?

    These schemes suggest historical advance through patterns of self-realization, and in this respect, Richler's commentary cautiously grows more hopeful. Canada emerges as a place with virtues and arguments of its own, with the novel serving as a magnanimous, humanizing genre, although also a bossy one. Canadian disappointments produce toughness, self-reliance matched by concern for community, generosity, a 'mix of humility and awe' as close as Richler gets to religion , and the saving grace of irony.
