"First Chapter is more
than a collection of portraits ... this is a book about writers as
observed by a passionate and curious reader."
- Harry Vandervlist, FFWD
"This is a really fun,
fascinating look at some of Canada's contemporary writers."
- Peter Olivia (as quoted in the Calgary Herald)
In 1996,
photographer Don Denton set out to create a photographic archive of
Canadian authors. First Chapter collects a sampling of his
project to date, including well-known writers such as Margaret
Atwood, George Bowering, Karen Connelly, and Michael Turner, as well
as newer faces on the Canadian writing scene. Each of the 50
photographs is paired with a statement about the writing life from
the profiled author, with advice that ranges from quirky,
tongue-in-cheek quips to serious contemplations of the creative
process. Sometimes puzzling, sometimes practical, and sometimes
funny, First Chapter shows the faces of CanLit in a revealing
light.
