Through close readings of fiction and memoirs by Margaret Atwood, Alice Munro, Michael Ignatieff, Ian Brown, and David Chariandy, Amelia DeFalco argues that these narratives expose the tangled particularities of relations of care, dependency, and responsibility, as well as issues of marginalisation on the basis of gender, race, and class. DeFalco complicates the myth of Canada as an unwaveringly caring nation that is characterized by equality and compassion. Caregiving is unpredictable: one person's altruism can be another's narcissism; one's compassion, another's condescension or even cruelty. In a country that conceives of itself as a caring society, these texts depict in stark terms the ethical dilemmas that arise from our attempts to respond to the needs of others."--Amelia DeFalcoIncludes bibliographical references and indexCanadaCriticism, interpretation, etcHBZHT020804377978-1-4426-3703-0HT02080437746611EEO14542021020420210323EEO1454rda https://ce.visuallibrary.net//domainresource/static/graphics/connectors/viewerLogo.gif http://193.30.112.129:83/F/?func=find-c&ccl_term=ICS%3DEEO1454 https://ce.visuallibrary.net/id/1094373 https://ce.visuallibrary.net/i3f/v20/1094373/manifest https://ce.visuallibrary.net/proto_ftsearch/1094373
