 | | The combination of perspectives on and approaches to Laurence and her art by Helen M. Buss, Aritha Van Herk, Robert Kroetsch, Joyce Marshall, and John Lennox (to name a few) accounts for the diversity, richness, and indeed quirkiness of the collection as a whole. |
 | | A strong sense of respect and affection for Laurence permeates the collection: the critics implicate themselves at a personal and engagingly emotional level that sensitizes the reader to the complexity of Laurence and her oeuvre. |
 | | For example, in a study that grapples with Laurences approach to childrens storytelling, Janet Lunn candidly criticizes Laurences failure to connect with her young audience, all the while revealing some of the major strengths of Laurences adult fiction. |
