Publisher's Synopsis
A master of magic realism Jack Hodgins has set his novels in rural Vancouver Island and thus raised this place to mythic levels. This collection of essays celebrates Hodgins achievements as he celebrates the seven sisters of the Barclay family. The contributors include Ron Hatch, Linda Morra, Joel Martineau, Jeanne Delbaere, J.R. (Tim) Struthers, Elizabeth Galway, Duffy Roberts, Travis Mason, and Waldemar Zacharasiewicz. As the editor Annika Hannan includes her critical introduction, an essay, Hodgins' biography and a very useful bibliography.
