Out of the canon

In the Toronto Star, Philip Marchand uses the launch of the Canadian Penguin Classics line as a chance to reflect on the new meaning of CanLit — who’s in the canon, and who’s about to fade into oblivion. Marchand writes: “every country wants to possess some world-class writers, proving that it has a soul. Canadians love Don Cherry but genuflect to Margaret Atwood, even if they never read her.” (Thanks to Bookninja.com for the link.)
