Lonesome hero
Fred Stenson

Macmillan Co. of Canada, 1974

Meet Tyrone Lock: born of farmers’ stock; overeducated, underemployed. An inveterate pick-nose and clandestine squeezer of Revels in the supermarket. Disaffected in a way that Adrian Mole would recognize (though as Tyrone takes pains to point out, he’s hardly a tortured artist; his BA was in Economics). Inexplicably involved with the lovely, pampered Miss Athena Till. The young couple are preparing for their first trip abroad: the obligatory ...

A beautifully prepared history pictorial of the RCMP!
Fortunately for us, the creators of 'RCMP: The March West' have captured the magic and historical significance of the RCMP and a country now called Canada. A fine contribution to Canadian history. Lynn-Philip Hodgson, author of 'Inside - Camp X'. lhodgson@idirect.com

My only complaint is that several characters appear and drop out of the story too fast. Some of the names the author uses are also distractingly silly. While 'Teeth' is ...

The Great Karoo
Fred Stenson

Doubleday Canada, 2008

From award-winning author Fred Stenson comes a richly evocative new novel, at once brutal and tender, spare of language, and profoundly moving. The Great Karoo begins in 1899, as the British are trying to wrest control of the riches of South Africa from the Boers, the Dutch farmers who claimed the land. The Boers have turned out to be more resilient than expected, so the British have sent a call to arms to their colonies ? and an a great ...

Reading between the lines of history
Having recently read Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian, I was interested in finding another, perhaps more compelling, book about the history of West. I would recommend Stenson's book, though with some reservations. I will start with some positive things: the book is quite evocative of the era and the conditions of the Canadian Northwest during the mid-18th century. One garners a real sense of ...

Waterton: Brush and Pen
Fred Stenson, Brent Laycock

Fifth House Books, 2006

More than an art book, a travel book, or a history book, Waterton: Brush and Pen takes readers on an inspiring journey to a hidden paradise. In Waterton Lakes National Park, where prairie meets mountain and lake mirrors sky, visual artist Brent Laycock and author Fred Stenson have found a lifetime of subject and inspiration. Waterton: Brush and Pen brings their work together in celebration of this magical place. Ninety-one of ...
