Lizard in the Grass
This selection of prose by John Mills, author of The Land of Is (1972), The October Men (1973) and Skevington's Daughter (1978), includes short stories, essays and extended book reviews from his long and fruitful career in the Canadian literary landscape. Autobiographical in nature, these amusing pieces reflect Mill's unique take on life and literature and where the two interact.
The Land of Is
None
Failed to Reach the Top?
John Mills is a writer with ideas. When thoughts and memories prickle his mind, he reaches for his pen and the words rush out. The result is this miscellany of essays, stories and verse. From recollections of national service to the latest news stories, with flashes of humour and home-spun philosophy, the ideas just keep on coming, entertaining us and making us think.
The Sportsman's Library
Reprint of the original, first published in 1845.
Thank Your Mother for the Rabbits
Thank Your Mother for the Rabbits is the unconventional autobiography of the Canadian novelist who was a malingerer in Her Majesty's Armed Forces, a radar technician on the DEW-line, a Gandy-dancer for the CPR, a maths crammer in an eccentric private school, friend and confidante of Irving Layton and Milton Acorn, the owner of a steam laundry in Montreal, professor of Chaucerian studies at Simon Fraser, and, after decades of atheism, a convert to Christianity. His essays have appeared in Bad Trips, The MacMillan Anthology, Best Canadian Essays 1989 and The Georgia Straight. He has published four novels, The Land of Is, The October Men, Skevington's Daughter, and Runner in the Dark.
