A burgeoning new branch of Hispanic literature, Latino-Canadian writing is now becoming part of the Canadian and Quebec literary traditions. Latinocanadá, a critical anthology, examines the work of Hispanic writers who have settled in Canada over the past thirty years and includes newly translated selections of their work.

The exiles, immigrants, and travellers represented in Latinocanadá include Jorge Etcheverry (Chile), Margarita Feliciano (Argentina), Gilberto Flores Patiño (Mexico), Alfredo Lavergne (Chile), Alfonso Quijada Urías (El Salvador), Nela Rio (Argentina), Alejandro Saravia (Bolivia), Yvonne América Truque (Colombia), Pablo Urbanyi (Argentina), and Leandro Urbina (Chile). Their poetry and prose ranges from magic realism to tragedy to satire to science fiction and often depicts the experience of adapting and settling in Canada. Hugh Hazelton discusses the historical background, national literatures, and contemporary trends in the authors' countries of origin. He also includes a detailed analysis of each author's work, influences, and themes and their involvement with the Canadian and Quebec literary worlds.

Devil Is a Travelling Man: Two Plays by W.O. Mitchell
W.O. Mitchell jokingly called himself the great re-run king, but his retellings of age-old conflicts between humanity and the Devil strikingly display his versatile adaptive talents. <br><em>The Black Bonspiel of Wullie MacCrimmon</em> is a whimsical take on the Faust legend with a distinctly Canadian flavor. Filled with wry humor and set against the backdrop of a timeless small-town dynamic, the story of Wullie MacCrimmon's curling duel with the Devil combines the edginess of Marlowe's classic tale with the down-to-earth wry Canadian humor of "Corner Gas.". <br><em>The Devil's Instrument</em> depicts a Hutterite teenager struggling with conformity in a puritan society. Mitchell's devil in this play is a figure of sympathy, but lines such as "Happy? I am free!" invite the ambiguity of whether it is better to indulge in what seems natural, or strive for the divine. Introduced by Ormond Mitchell and Barbara Mitchell and including original production photography, this collection provides humor, sobriety, and wonderful storytelling with a dash of the infernal. An essential, whimsical part of Oxford's new Outlooks on Canadian Literature series.
