Hi WW -

I can't comment, as I haven't read any of his work, but I can give you an abbreviated list of some of his works, fwiw (not in chronological order):

The Piano Man's Daughter (novel)
Not Wanted On the Voyage (novel, then stage play)
Pilgrim (novel)
The Wars (novel, won a Governor General's Award)
The Stillborn Lover (stage play)

and more than that I cannot remember now, and my Oxford Companion to Canadian Literature is sadly out of date (I notice my edition is a 1983, so no wonder). One of his novels was also made into a movie, but not, I think, any of the above - I can't remember the title.

Let us go in peace to love and serve the board.
