In candid text, accompanied by intimate photographs, 164 Canadian, Québécois and Franco-Canadian writers personally reflect on the transformative experiences of reading. With unguarded images, Danielle Schaub, photographer and critic, has captured some of Canada's finest writers from English- to French-speaking, established to emerging, region to region, and from First Nations to new arrivals, she reflects the diversity that creates the Canadian imagination. These photographs and writings show the many faces of Canada's literary genius.
