From the Publisher:
What the Crow Said is a seminal work from one of Canada's most important authors. On the heels of Kroetsch's much heralded new novel, The Man from the Creeks, this handsome reprint of the 1978 classic is sure to renew interest in the early work of one of Canada's finest stylists. Includes a new introduction by Kroetsch scholar Robert R. Wilson.
From the Back Cover:
What the Crow Said tells the exuberant, ribald, elemental tale of the citizens of a town somewhere on the weather-beaten border between Alberta and Saskatchewan.
After Vera Lang consorts with a swarm of bees, something changes in Big Indian. This prairie municipality--so remote from the rest of the world that its citizens aren't sure which province they can live in--becomes somehow locked inside its own world of patience, yearning and willful struggle with nature.
Along the way, Big Indian emerges as a place simultaneously in the past and in the present, the real and the imaginary, where a game of cards might last forever and a defeated farmer can freeze on his snowbound plow in June.
With his sun-sharpened imagery, unstoppable language play, and frank intimacy with the landscape, Robert Kroetsch creates in What the Crow Said a quintessentially prairie novel.
