Floreat Plutoria: Satirical Fiction About McGill
|
| Abstract |
Montreal's McGill university has appeared in many kinds of fiction but nowhere more strikingly than in satirical writing. The author points out that Stephen Leacock, Régis Messac, William Weintraub, Mordecai Richler, Eileen Fitzgerald, Dany Laferrière, Brian Moore and others mixed reality and imagination to focus on McGill from unusual angles, in detail or just in passing. Drawing on personal blends of humour, affection, fantasy and criticism, each writer created a unique vision or glimpse of McGill and its students, staff and community. The results, the author maintains, are as diverse as the attitudes and dreams which McGill evokes
