The Man from the Creeks by Robert Kroetsch Random House Canada, Toronto 307 pages, $32.00 reviewed by Joy Gugeler Pitched on his head, and pumped full of lead, was Dangerous Dan McGrew, While the man from the creeks lay clutched to the breast of the lady that's known as Lou. Robert Service, "The Shooting of Dan McGrew" Like a half-mad prospector bellying up to the Klondike, it is hard not to scratch your three-day beard and wonder how often it is possible to mine the veins of the Gold Rush and still come up with a shiny nugget of fiction, that is. If Robert Kroetsch's new novel, The Man from the Creeks, is testament, it is surely clear there is still "gold in them thar hills". Kroetsch is no stranger to the geohistorical trek through the rich territory of our past, as Badlands and elements of his other novels (The Studhorse Man, The Puppeteer, and others) attest. Kroetsch revels in trickery, myth, and word play, thrills to an inverted metaphor or an upended icon, and the Gold Rush is certainly ripe for excavation on all accounts. But this book, for British Columbians especially, will signify more than an obligatory nod to the legend that ties the Gold Rush to their province of residence (and Kroetsch's he lives in Victoria); it signifies a commitment to making the sepia photographs and "backwoods" prose of the era live and breathe in the realm of fiction as well as non-, in the realm of our imaginations.

43. Interview | Robert Kroetsch A character created by Service talking back to Service, correcting him, soto speak. . robert kroetsch certainly takes his time in composing novels. http://collection.nlc-bnc.ca/100/202/300/january/2001/01-01-22/kroetsch.html

Read a review of The Man from the Creeks "We use stories to give shape to our experiences. Service did it so well that it's difficult to get past him. By having my narrator spring forth from the poem, I got loose. A character created by Service talking back to Service, correcting him, so to speak." Robert Kroetsch certainly takes his time in composing novels. His newest one, The Man from the Creeks , which is set in Canada's 1897-99 Klondike gold rush, appeared six years after his previous work, The Puppeteer , which had followed the publication of Alibi way back in 1983. Reports are that The Man from the Creeks went through 13 versions and at least one title change (from Klondike Love Song ) before it was ready for submission. Yet this British Columbian author and former creative-writing teacher is hardly ever idle, producing poetry and essays. And while he may not be as prolific as some better-known fictionists, he certainly hasn't suffered among critics for that fact. He won Canada's 1969 Governor General's Award for The Studhorse Man , and each new novel since seems to fetch him a fresh round of praise from reviewers, even if those people don't always quite understand Kroetsch's resistance to the conventions of modern prose writing, his interest in the arcana of his subject matter, or his often-sly humor.

English 200 UW/005 8 February 2001 Robert Kroetsch, Seed Catalogue "THE CARNIVALESQUE:" "Bakhtin used the example of late medieval and early Renaissance folk culture in developing his theory of laughter. In Rabelais and His World (1965), he offers a new reading of the novels of Francois Rabelais as embodying the essence of carnival, 'a boundless world of humorous forms and manifestations opposed [to] the official and serious tone of ecclesiastical and feudal culture' (Rabelais 4). The life of the people parallels official culture, at once radically subverting state ideology and offering an outlet for the ongoing role of repression....[Carnival focuses on] the body and on bodily realities such as eating, drinking, evacuation, sex, birth, and death..." (Michele Lacombe, from The Encyclopedia of Contemporary Literary Theory: Approaches, Scholars, Term s. Ed. Irena R. Makaryk. Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1993). Kroetsch: "How do you write in a new country? Our inherited literature, the literature of our European past and of eastern North America, is emphatically the literature of a people who have not lived on prairies. We had, and still have, difficulty finding names for the elements and characteristics of this landscape. The human response to this landscape is so new and ill-defined and complex that our writers come back, uneasily but compulsively, to landscape writing. Like the homesteaders before us, we are compelled to adjust and invent, to remember and forget. We feel a profound ambiguity about the pastabout its contained stories and its modes of perception.

THIS ISSUE'S HOMEPAGE GAZETTE HOMEPAGE E-MAIL THE EDITOR February 19, 2002 Vol. 31 No. 21 Robert Kroetsch joins Markin-Flanagan Robert Kroetsch is in Calgary to touch the magic fencepost. "I’ve traveled around the world as a writer and I’ve realized that the source of my writing is Alberta," says the 2002 Markin-Flanagan Distinguished Visiting Writer. "So when people ask where I get my ideas from, I tell them that there is a magic fencepost in Alberta and every few years I have to return and touch that fencepost," Kroetsch, a native Albertan, explains with a laugh. The story that his writing ability comes from the fence post illustrates very well Kroetsch’s ideas about where stories spring from. "Our goal as writers is to tell the story of basic human lives and, for all our technology, we still live in a geographic place," he says. "You have to have stories come out of a certain place. "When I talk to students here, I don’t talk about manuscripts," Kroetsch adds. "We talk about being a writer in 2002 in a place like Calgary, and I ask them, what is the story we tell in a place like Calgary?" Kroetsch feels that story is a vibrant one because Calgary is right now energizing its artists.

The shifting status of each work will be ascertained through a look at the history of reviews, scholarly articles, graduate dissertations, and popular citations. The category of "nation" itself comes under scrutiny in this examination; as Jonathan Kertzer reminds us ("Worrying the Nation: Imagining a National Literature in English Canada"), it is "an old word used to describe a slippery idea." At issue here are the principles by which English-Canadian fictions have entered (and sometimes been removed from) canonical history over fifty years.
