- Synopsis
- The Oatmeal Ark weaves invention through true stories, stitches imaginary characters into real events. It is at once a history and a fiction. It tries to reach beyond our tradition of realistic literature, building on the strengths of Susanna Moodie, the Canadian Vegetable and the NFB documentary, and to reassert the older mythical dimensions of the land. In my writing I strive to cross the line beyond which fact becomes myth to find a truth that is made sharper in fiction. The Oatmeal Ark is a subjective, heartfelt look at Canada, its history and the courageous men and women of all nationalities who struggled -- and struggle still -- to build this country.
