In honour of the twentieth anniversary of the Literary Journalism program at the Banff Centre, CABIN FEVER presents a selection of the finest creative non-fiction written by participants from the past six years.
This anthology includes essays on a strikingly original and global range of topics by some of the best non-fiction writers in the country.
Taras Grescoe goes in search of "pure" absinthe; Jeff Warren examines the way whales think; Megan Williams takes driving lessons in Rome; Bell Reynolds writes about the joys and dangers of riding a bicycle; Charlotte Gill gives us the dirt on her eighteen years as a tree planter; John Vigna confronts his relationship with a troubled brother; Margaret Webb takes a sexy road trip to find oysters; Jaspreet Singh ruminates on life in Kashmir in the age of plutonium; Jeremy Klaszus gets to know his grandfather, a former Hitler Youth who is obsessed with Google Maps; Deborah Ostrovsky explores bilingualism and the "grammar of relationships" after she marries into a Quebecois family; Jonathan Garfinkel goes to Israel to find a house occupied by an Arab and a Jew; Penney Kome writes about a family friend in Chicago who helped invent the atomic bomb; and Andrew Westoll gives up love in order to hunt for a rare frog in Suriname.
Unique, engaging and enriching, Cabin Fever is a testament to the literary talents of each individual and a tribute to the longevity and excellence of The Banff Centre's Literary Journalism program over the past twenty years.
