What did you think of An Accidental Canadian by Wente?

Editado: Fev 6, 2010, 9:22 pm

This is what I posted somewhere (too many challenges so I forget where I post what!)

An Accidental Canadian by Wente was good but it took me awhile to figure out what type of book it was supposed to be. She is a newspaper columnist in Canada but she grew up in Chicago. I thought this book was musings on her experiences in both places. But it seemed to be divided in three sections. The first highlighted things that she deemed to be utterly Canadian - hockey and Margaret Atwood. Then she veered off into memoir country and talked about buying a farm with her husband and their experience running it. And then, it veered off again into an overall of her views on a number of topics from sex to the fall of Conrad Black. Really interesting but strangely written.

I am from NB and have read some of her columns. I was curious about why she became a Canadian. I was hoping for some original thinking, upholding hockey and Atwood doesn't cut it with me. It is the same drivel we hear so often. I thought her farm episode funny. It seemed that they bought not a great place just to have a farm and to be able to say they had it. Not a great reason for driving north out of Toronto every Friday. I still don't know why she became a Canadian...

She does talk a little bit about why she became a Canadian but it's the old fall back stuff like health care. Knowing nothing at all about her, I did find the book interesting but it's more just a series of essays that aren't linked together at all. It's like something decided to publish a book, took a bunch of papers from her files and randomly bound them together. Very strange.
