A READER'S GUIDE TO THE CANADIAN NOVEL, 2ND EDITION. Moss, John. Toronto, McClelland & Stewart, 1987. 522pp, paper, $24.95, ISBN 0-7710-6547-7. CIP Grades 11 and up Reviewed by Bohdan Kinczyk Volume 15 Number 6 1987 November What's happened in Can Lit since 1980? Lots: new novels by established writers such as Timothy Findley, Robertson Davies, and Margaret Atwood; new novels by new writers such as Janette Turner Hospital and Guy Vanderhaeghe; and new assessments of both recent and established fiction. In fact so much has happened that A Reader's Guide to the Canadian Novel required updating and expansion. And now we have a second edition. Extensively cross-referenced and bulging with more than sixty new articles, the Guide is encyclopedic in scope but still easy to use. The essays are. . .well, they're John Moss: bold and thoughtful. The publisher's blurb tells us that the Guide* has become the authoritative reference work on the state of Canadian fiction. Rarely does the publisher's claim match the writer's accomplishment. In this case it does. Highly recommended. Bohdan Kinczyk, Central Elgin Collegiate, St. Thomas, Ont.
