The people are mean, bitter, small-minded, petty, provincial, cheap, and rude. Welcome to Canada.

This travelogue-turned-expose of the "polite nation" at midcentury proved so shocking it took twenty-one years-despite initial acclaim when released in 1958-to see a Canadian edition. A record of his three-month journey across the country, Norman Levine's vision of Canada's seedy and unpleasant underworld is now a laconic classic.

Norman Levine (1923-2005), author of eight short story collections and two novels, was raised in Ottawa's Lower Town, served overseas in the RCAF during WWII, and attended McGill University. In 1949 he returned to England, where he remained until 1980. In 1956 he undertook a three-month cross-country journey through Canada, which furnished him with material for his controversial memoir and commentary upon Canadian life, Canada Made Me (1958). Levine's fiction titles include The Angled Road (1952), One Way Ticket (1961), I Don't Want to Know Anyone Too Well (1971), Thin Ice (1979) and Something Happened Here (1991).
