Woodcock, George. BEYOND THE BLUE MOUNTAINS: AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY.
Fitzhenry & Whiteside, Markham, Ontario, 1987, first edition.
300 pp, large 8vo (9 1/4" H), hard cover in dust jacket. This, the second volume of George Woodcock's autobiography, "deals with the period between 1949 and 1977. (It) details Woodcock's life in the British Columbia bush, his close and longstandin g relationship with the Doukhobors, his battles with US immigration officials. We learn of the founding of the influential 'Canadian Literature' review, and we follow Mr. Woodcock on his extended and beautifully-described tours of India and the So u th Seas. George Woodcock is not only a revered literary critic. He is also a gifted and witty raconteur. (This book) allows us further insights into the life of this fascinating man." ***Pages 268/9 were not printed/published - they concluded a chapter on a controversy concerning a libel suit brought by Margaret Atwood against "a young writer called Wigle, in which (she) was unflatteringly introduced as a character drawn from real life...."*** Minor wrinkling at bottom of spine, remaind er mark on bottom of textblock, minor browning on spine. Dust jacket has very minor rubbing, small faint watermark on front panel - mainly visible on inside surface. Very Good/Very Good
