"Frank Davey is the Carl F. Klinck Professor of Canadian Literature at the University of Western Ontario. He is the first to hold this chair. Frank Davey's writing reveals a humourous and ironic comment on the ambiguous play of signs in contemporary culture, on the popular stories that lie behind them, and on the struggles between different groups in society--racial, regional, gender-based, ethnic, economic--that drive this play." -- Talonbooks
