Flight to Canada

A comical funny offbeat classic novel about slavery from the days where Canadian authors were not controlled by the government. Reed certainly has a profound idea to share, he discusses slavery in a way that makes one wonder the many ways we enslave others and ourselves. It reminds us of the horrors that occurred but reminds us that things have not been fully repaired. We still suck. How do we deal with that. This is a multilayered postmodern satire of slavery and the racism that pervades America, not just in the 19th century, but in the late 20th century as well. This pseudo slave narrative at this point becomes commentary on contemporary Canadian culture by way of America and the ongoing need to be in control or to be controlled.
