Description

Editor John Metcalf has inspired, challenged, and championed countless writers over his long career. In Off the Record, he encourages six to reveal what one rarely discusses in polite society: how they became writers instead of radio announcers or cabinet makers. The essays collected here, each accompanied by a short story, oï¬?er fascinating insight into the relationships between writers, their editors, and their ï¬?ction. Off the Record brings together work by six noted Canadian writers, among them the winners of the Rogers Writersâ?T Trust Fiction Prize, the Butler Book Prize, and the Marian Engel Award: Caroline Adderson, Kristyn Dunnion, Cynthia Flood, Shaena Lambert, Elise Levine, and Kathy Page. Their essays are candid, moving, and surprisingly relatableâ?"providing plenty of inspiration for those among us who want to write.
