  • \u201cSmith\u2019s writing is lively stuff. The sort of thing that raves footprints in the mind.\u201d
    (The Toronto Star<\/strong>)
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • “Donald Smith has compiled an extraordinary series of interviews with Quebec and Acadian writers. Smith\u2019s questions and the writers\u2019 answers, smoothly and unobtrusively translated from the French by Larry Shouldice, deal with matters of language, politics, religion, social issues and, most important, the actual creative process as seen and felt by each author. Voices of Deliverance <\/i>is a fascinating glimpse into the lives and thoughts of the cream of Quebec and Acadian writers. Donald Smith\u2019s vast knowledge of his subjects and their works and his obvious intellectual curiosity enable him to produce a captivating and complete work. This is an essential documentary about some of the many great writers in French Canada.”
