O Canada, I went to school there. He also founded Canada's equivalent of the
Pulitzer (or better, National Book Award, but the Pulitzer sells more boooks in the
U.S. than does the NBA...shrot term anyway)..........
 
Try Greenmantle?...Look up Graham Greene's review(s) of him?..........
 
A late work is called "The Long Traverse"......which could have been a weaker title
for Against the Day, overfocussing on the Traverses........(Or the title of a good review)...................

ok, he's in the preface to Slow Learner, and everybody's seen The 39 Steps

I was thinking of looking at some of his books.
Pynchon said some are even better than 39 Steps.
The guy was governor general of Canada!  I didn't know that.
