This special issue of Mosaic contains essays on authors like Margaret Atwood, Margaret Lawrence, Rudy Wiebe, Robert Kroetsch, and Robertson Davies. Focused specifically on questions of identity, narrative, and belonging, these essays explore how the Canadian novel is structured like the detective novel; how Surfacing is a ghost story and heroic journey; and how biblical hermeneutics and family life connect in fiction. The issue also includes essays that examine Carl Jung and The Stone Angel, death and memory in Canada, Eridanus and eschatology, a reflection of the (im)possible narratology of The Blue Mountains of China, and more.
