As For Me and My House is an essential Canadian work--a precise and
compelling portrait of our culture, our psyche, and the nature of
contemporary art itself, now available as a Penguin Modern Classic.
In the windswept town of Horizon, an unamed diarist paints a vivid and
enthralling picture of prairie life in the Depression era. Atmospheric,
intimate, and richly observed, As For Me and My House is a moving
meditation on the bittersweet nature of human relationships, on the
bonds that tie people together and the undercurrents of feeling that can
tear them apart. It is one of Canada's great novels and a landmark in
modern fiction.
