Long Description | West by Northwest is a classic collection of British Columbia stories, beginning with Bill Reid and Robert Bringhurst's ribald creation myth "The Raven and the First Men" and closing with Edith Robinson's brilliant depiction of a Native girl's struggle for survival in "Queen of the North." In between, the stellar stories from writers such as Malcolm Lowry, Wayson Choy, Emily Carr, George Bowering, and Shani Mootoo range across geography, peoples, and writing styles. Here are stories from the sea and the islands, from coastal cities and interior ranchlands, from mountains, valleys, and northern rivers. Here, too, are tales of diverse communities: family life in Chinatown, a Russian Doukhobor wedding, poverty in a mill town, and racism in Vancouver at the turn of the century and today. Each story reflects the landscape and rich culture of British Columbia, and strengthens the link between history, place, and our collective imagination. |

Site News and Events
We just made updating products easier
Over the past couple weeks we have gone through and updated the way you can help us keep the site up to date. If you are a registered memeber of the site, you can help and earn lookup credits by validating products and putting things in the right category.
We just added a new page that make it very easy to categorize products that are not already in a category. Visit the UNCATEGORISED PAGE and see if you can help us out. If you know where the product goes it only takes a couple clicks to categorize it. If not, just skip it and check the next one.
You get to see a list of 10 items at a time. Once you have looked at them you can use the link at the bottom to get a new set. Categorize as many or as few items as you like.
If you want to help even more, you can go to the PENDING CHANGES page and check the items that other people have entered into the system. If there is nothing pending on this page, you will automatically be given a list of items that need to be categorised. So if you like, you can use this one page do perform both tasks.
We spend a good deal of time each day performing these tasks ourselves but your help is always appreciated and makes things go a lot faster. We plan on making more improvements over time so feel free to send suggestions.
