Canada Made Me

Norman Levine''s Canada Made Me, a bitter, critical reassessment of the moral and cultural values of ''the polite nation,'' proved so shocking it took 21 years—despite initial acclaim when released in 1958—to see a Canadian edition. A record of his three-month journey from coast to coast, Levine''s vision of Canada''s seedy and unpleasant underworld is now a laconic classic.
