{"id":6817702838331,"title":"Five Legs","handle":"five-legs","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst published by Anansi in 1969, \u003cem\u003eFive Legs\u003c\/em\u003e was a breakthrough for Canadian experimental fiction, selling 1,000 copies in its first week. At the time Scott Symons wrote that \"\u003cem\u003eFive Legs\u003c\/em\u003e has more potent writing in it, page for page, than any other young Canadian novel that I can think of.\" Or indeed any young American novel — including Pynchon and Farina.\u003c\/p\u003e \r\n \r\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFive Legs\u003c\/em\u003e is the subversive tale of two guilt-ridden young men, Lucan Crackell and Felix Oswald — one a professor, the other his student — caught in the grip of the North American Protestant ethic, with its emotional web-spinning and sexual torments. Gibson captures both their mortifications and their spirited resistance to all things WASP, themselves included, in stream-of-consciousness prose that is at once fluid, disjointed, and hilarious. Essential reading for any Canlit junkie, and quite a trip.

These seismic shifts in population have brought about huge challenges for all societies. In this year’s Massey Lectures, Canada’s twenty-sixth Governor General and bestselling author Adrienne Clarkson argues that a sense of belonging is a necessary mediation between an individual and a society. She masterfully chronicles the evolution of citizenship throughout the ages: from the genesis of the idea of the citizen in ancient Greece, to the medieval structures of guilds and class; from the revolutionary period which gave birth to the modern nation-state, to present-day citizenship based on shared values, consensus, and pluralism. Clarkson places particular emphasis on the Canadian model, which promotes immigration, parliamentary democracy, and the rule of law, and the First Nations circle, which embodies notions of expansion and equality. She concludes by looking forward, using the Bhutanese example of Gross National Happiness to determine how we measure up today and how far we have to go to bring into being the citizen, and the society, of tomorrow.","EAN":"9781770898370","excerpt_0":"https:\/\/biblioshare.org\/BNCservices\/BNCServices.asmx\/Samples?token=fcf85c1c1b298e99\u0026amp;ean=9781770898370\u0026amp;SAN=\u0026amp;Perspective=excerpt\u0026amp;FileNumber=0","Height":"8","HeightCode":"in","Imprint":"House of Anansi Press","MetaKeywords":"Emigration \u0026amp; Immigration; Human Geography; Civics; French Revolution; Aristotle; Citizenship; Immigration; Massey Lectures","NumberOfPages":"240","OtherText_ShortDescription_0":"Former Governor General and bestselling author Adrienne Clarkson delivers the 2014 CBC Massey Lectures on citizenship.","ProductFormDescription":"trade paperback","PublicationDate":"2014-09-19","Publisher":"House of Anansi Press Inc","Series":"The CBC Massey Lectures","ShortDescription":"Former Governor General and bestselling author Adrienne Clarkson delivers the 2014 CBC Massey Lectures on citizenship.","Subtitle":"The Paradox of Citizenship","Width":"5","WidthCode":"in"}
