Henry Adam Svec has been pushing the boundaries of Canadian folklore since he unearthed songs by CFL players in Library and Archives Canada, thrusting himself into the scene and the media spotlight. 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. Comically entertaining, presented with performative verve, as novelist Jacob Wren puts it. — Atlantic Books Today
This book is cracking me up—and I don t even like football—but it is just so well written. —Robert Dayton, author of The Canadian Romantic
