Richard Ford's ''Canada'' opens with one of the best opening lines that I've read in a long time:
This book came to us courtesy of the [http://www.ilkleyliteraturefestival.org.uk/2012/10/13/162-richard-ford-canada/ Ilkley Literature Festival where the author is appearing on 13 October 2012].
If you still have room for more great American writers talking about crossing very different boundaries, then try [[In One Person by John Irving]]. For more about Canada, try [[No Great Mischief by Alistair MacLeod]] or [[Sanctuary Line by Jane Urquhart]].
