Writing Against the Silence: Joy Kogawa’s Obasan

Canadian Fiction Studies are an answer to every librarian’s, student’s, and teacher’s wishes. Each book, about 80 pages in length, contains clear, readable information on a major Canadian novel. These studies are carefully designed readings of the novels; they are not substitutes for reading them. Each book is attractively produced and follows the same format, so students will know exactly what to expect:

a chronology of the author’s life

the importance of the book critical reception

reading of the text

selected list of works cited
