Life Is Like Canadian Football and Other Authentic Folk Songs, Paperback

A grossly inaccurate "memoir" about Canadian folk legends.

Henry Adam Svec has been pushing boundaries in Canadian folklore
since he unearthed songs by CFL players in Library and Archives Canada,
thereby thrusting himself into the scene--and the media spotlight. Those
spartan poems are finally included in this anthology, in addition to the
fruits of his subsequent expeditions, but there is much more besides,
including honest accounts of the folklorist's myriad trials and
tribulations. This experimental and genre-defying book mixes the
adventurous energies of Alan Lomax and Stompin' Tom, the intertextual
conceptualism of Vladimir Nabokov and Mark Z. Danielewski, and the
searing intensity of Elizabeth Smart and Chris Kraus.
