Title
Senses of Insecurity: Montreal Writers View Their City
Abstract
The author argues that there has been a significant change in Montreal English language fiction since the late 1950s. Where the literature once portrayed characters exuding a sense of outward confidence and security, yet nervous about the future, contemporary writers are more insecure by the rising power of technology and modernism, which dehumanizes the individual and sacrifices the elegance of an older way of life to an expedient ethic based on greed.
