Description



Book Synopsis



1959, Ameliasburgh, Prince Edward County, Canada. On the edge of spring, two men are finishing an A-frame cabin on Roblin Lake. In the coming decade all three of them--Al, Milt, and the A-frame--will become famous and change the face of Canadian poetry. But now all they have is the stench of sweat, whiskey, and words. From Governor General's Literary Award-winner David Yee, among men is a poetic and charged portrait of male friendship in uncertain times, and a story of how Canadian literature was changed forever.



Review Quotes




"David Yee has taken a footnote in Canadian literature and created a play that is raucous, lively, crude . . . and extremely moving." --Glenn Sumi, NOW Magazine

"Masterful storytelling." --Joe Szekeres, Our Theatre Voice

"A laugh-out-loud, moving piece of art." --Janine Marley, A View From the Box
