A Rollicking Chronicle Of Captain Vancouver's Search For The Northwest Passage, The Book Has Over Its Career Been Mentioned In Recommended Lists Of Postmodern Fiction, Bc Historical Fiction, Gay Fiction And Humour. This Gives You Some Idea Of The Scope Of What Has Been Called Bowering's Best Novel. I Have Sometimes Said, Kidding But Not Really Kidding, Writes Its Author, That I Attended To The Spirit Of The West Coast, And Told The Story About The Rivals For Our Land As An Instance In Which The Commanders Decided To Make Love, Not War.
