All of Baba's Children

Geist Staff

All of Baba's Children by Myrna Kostash is back in print (NeWest), which is a good news for anyone who doesn't already own a copy of this seminal Canadian work: go out right now and buy it. You'll have to ignore the cover, which is, to say the least, ugly, and the typesetting, which is hokey. And, especially, skip George Melnyk's introduction, which is witless at best, and drippingly condescending at worst. The work itself stands: an essential ingredient of a real Canadian imagination.
