A grossly inaccurate "e;memoir"e; about Canadian folk legends.Henry Adam Svec has been pushing boundaries in Canadian folklore since he unearthed songs by CFL players in Library and Archives Canada, thereby thrusting himself into the scene-and the media spotlight. Those spartan poems are finally included in this anthology, in addition to the fruits of his subsequent expeditions, but there is much more besides, including honest accounts of the folklorist's myriad trials and tribulations. This experimental and genre-defying book mixes the adventurous energies of Alan Lomax and Stompin' Tom, the intertextual conceptualism of Vladimir Nabokov and Mark Z. Danielewski, and the searing intensity of Elizabeth Smart and Chris Kraus."e;Comically entertaining, presented with 'performative verve', as novelist Jacob Wren puts it."e;-Atlantic Books Today"e;This book is cracking me up-and I don't even like football-but it is just so well written."e;-Robert Dayton, author of The Canadian Romantic

From the original dust jacket: Here is that rarity, a detective novel with an original setting. A miracle is expected at Port Fletcher, Connecticut. Mrs. Agatha Weir, priestess of a strange new cult of "Assumptionism," is to be some day recieved up into heave as were Enoch and Elijah; and her bedroom in the temple has been specially constructed for such an eventuality. A medium prophesies the date, publicity gets to work, and all America hums with anticipation. The lady disappears. Mortimer Hood, the scientist who was called in to vouch for the miracle, finds himself with a very pretty problem to investigate. The priestess has indubitably disappeared. But how? Had her disciples faked the miracle? If so, why? Why was there a stain of egg nog on the bedspread? And why was Mrs. Weir's old mother so sure she was dead? This is a first-rate and most thrilling thriller.
