<![CDATA[

This collection of essays shows Hood in full, elegant control of a variety of subjects that will appeal to those interested in Canadian literary history and to anyone involved with the literary currents of our time. The essays are detailed, complex, and enriched by the sensibility of the author who has been called “Canada`s most learned, most intellectual novelist” (The Canadian Forum). At the same time, they display Hood`s unique ability to convey intellectual ideas with warmth, humor, and passionate conviction. He is that rare breed of author whose books are inspired by a profound commitment to art, a deep love of his community, a sensitive involvement with language, and an ongoing engagement with theoretical problems crucial to twentieth-century thought.

Trusting the Tale is Hugh Hood at his most accessible and most entertaining. These essays may help convince CanLit followes that Mr. Hood is one of the few Canadian novelists who can call themselves men of letters.”  —Winnipeg Free Press
Trusting the Tale consists of 11 essays on topics ranging from personal reminiscence to hockey, other artists, and the craft of writing.”  —Quill & Quire
