- Synopsis
- Part of the inaugural Kanata Classics list, with a new introduction by Claire Cameron, Bear is one of the most daring and provocative books in the history of Canadian literature.Lou is a lonely librarian who spends her days in the dusty archives of the Historical Institute. When an unusual field assignment comes her way, she jumps at the chance to travel to a remote island in northern Ontario, where she will spend the summer cataloguing a library that belonged to an eccentric nineteenth-century colonel. Eager to investigate the estate&’s curious history, she is shocked to discover that the island has one other inhabitant: a bear. Lou&’s imagination is soon overtaken by the island&’s past occupants, whose deep fascination with bears gradually becomes her own. Irresistibly, Lou is led along a path of emotional and sexual self-awakening, as she explores the limits of her own animal nature. What she discovers will change her life forever.
