 Canadian Literary Archives - Robert Kroetsch - Biocritical Essay
His writing goes far beyond the quirky and unexpected: it offers a mythopoeic vision that is partly parodic, partly metonymic, resulting in a generative unfolding rather than immobilizing surrender (LV, 96) to the givens of a particular story.
It is ironic then, that although Kroetsch abjures mythic definition, he has come to enjoy a reputation as the penultimate mythologizer of the Canadian west.
We are introduced to them here, his great- grandfather who owned a watermill in Formosa, Bruce County, Ontario, his grandfather who left that relative prosperity (the trees were giving out) to head west in 1905 (the year Alberta was created, the same Alberta Kroetsch has created), with his father, Paul Kroetsch.
