| Â | Guardian Unlimited Books By genre Observer review: The Last Crossing by Guy Vanderhaeghe |
 | | Vanderhaeghe himself describes the novel as a 'literary western' but even this somehow sells the book short. | | | There are occasional bosh shots: Addington's Oedipal reflections - which, thankfully, terminate with his fatal encounter with a grizzly bear - seem over-contrived; a pity, for they are important to the plot. | | | The last crossing, the second in Guy Vanderhaeghe's nineteenth-century prairie-lands trilogy, comes heralded with praise from Annie Proulx and Richard Ford. |

| Â | Guy Vanderhaeghe - interview |
| | Vanderhaeghe considers Updike to be a good exapmle of the man of letters, the writer who works constantly and will try his hand at anything. | | | Vanderhaeghe thinks of himself as an author rather than a man of letters. | | | Vanderhaeghe grew up in Esterhazy, an only child who read voraciously and loved to write stories at an early age. |

| | Vanderhaeghe won't discuss his next project - he says he's not far enough into anything to say. | | | Should the film be done locally, it will reduce Vanderhaeghe's concern about preserving the integrity of his tale. | | | Mordecai Richler calls it a "stunning performance", and Timothy Findlay says it's a "magnificent novel" written by a man "who has plundered the language for all its treasures". |

| | Vanderhaeghe: I think that's equally true all along the line. | | | Vanderhaeghe: I'm not quite sure if that's my interpretation. | | | Aurora: In the two quotations from Croce and Creighton that open the book, particularly the one by Croce, he seemed to be suggesting there's a science of history. |

| Â | Guy Vanderhaeghe's My Present Age |
| | Vanderhaeghe's story is of an overweight, rejected, dejected man trying to win back his wife, who has left him. | | | Like his brilliant predecessors, Hemingway, Fitzgerald, etc., he is merely telling a story and not trying to prove a point, something which is very rare these days. | | | Vanderhaeghe's characters are alive; you feel as if you know them. |
