With sharp humor and fascinating insight, this memoir of the Canadian publishing industry travels from the boom years of the 1970s to the changing world of books today. Readers are invited along for the ride as Lecker's turn in academia gives way to pop culture publishing, running a journal, and facing the real business challenges of selling books.

Review:
"...Lecker is an excellent example of academics who began to embrace the edgy, subversive and political possibilities of literature, explode the canon, and exploit the connection between the critical act and self-interpretation." --British Journal of Canadian Studies
