I left for Europe after university and over the years and decades lost touch with Canadian literary circles, and with the Yukon.On arriving in London a literary agent told me that my Yukon novel, WAITING FOR HITLER ON THE ELEVEN O'CLOCK NEWS had 'immense potential' but that I ought to split it into two books. The book is now three volumes, the first of which is unfinished.
The writers who meant the most to me were the young Hemingway and Heinrich Boell, the German Catholic. Then came other European and Russian writers, like Bulgakov and Paustovsky, Isaac Babel, Joseph Roth, and Kurt Tucholsky, the satirist and master of the feuilleton.
