Product Description

Review

“A welcome addition to the already outstanding body of work from one of this country’s best writers.”
–Winnipeg Free Press

“The book serves wonderfully well as an anthology of his most representative writing.”
–Globe and Mail --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Book Description

Anyone who ever saw one of W.O. Mitchell’s readings will know why they were described as unforgettable. Unruly white hair flying, fist raised, voice husky or thundering, eyes wide in innocent astonishment at a double entendre raising a laugh, W.O. Mitchell did not give readings from his work; he performed them. He loved “the immediate thrust of a live audience as it responds to story magic,” and audiences loved him. Recorded live at the Stratford Festival, Trent University, and the Banff Centre for the Arts, selections include The Day I Spoke for Mister Lincoln, How to Fail at Public Speaking, Old Kacky and the Vanishing Point, Take Once Giant Step and Melvin Arbuckle’s First Course in Shock Therapy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Canadian Treasure, Sep 9 1997
This review is from: An Evening with W.O. Mitchell: A Collection of the Author's Best-Loved Performance Pieces (Hardcover)
W.O. Mitchell has been a huge figure in Canadian writing for a number of years. His books are routinely assigned in schools from grade school to university. He evokes the Canadian Praries so as to make that the cultural homeland of all Canadians. So it is with great pleasure that I recommend this collection of stories. Written to mimic a night of his storytelling, they weave a magical web. I would also recommend the forthcoming audio book based on A Night With W.O. Mitchell. It will feature him reading his own compostions and promises to be excellent.

3.0 out of 5 stars A little slow but interesting., Jun 10 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: An Evening with W.O. Mitchell: A Collection of the Author's Best-Loved Performance Pieces (Audio Cassette)
At first I wanted to beat myself with a wooden mallet, then I started to find the stories almost amazing but not, you know! Mitchell writes about things that don't matter and yet he gives it so much passion. He is definitely a hurting writer, but a trying one.
