Survival
A Thematic Guide to Canadian Literature
Book • 1972
Published in 1972, 'Survival' is a groundbreaking work that examines the central preoccupations of Canadian poetry and fiction, identifying 'survival and victims' as the core themes.
Atwood applies this thesis in twelve chapters, analyzing works by various Canadian authors and offering new perspectives on familiar books.
The book is distinguished by its effervescent and compulsively readable prose, making it a book of criticism, a manifesto, and a collection of personal and subversive remarks.
It continues to shape the way Canadians look at themselves and their literature, highlighting the harsh physical environment, colonialism, and other obstacles that define Canadian writing.
