The Force of Vocation: The Literary Career of Adele Wiseman

Written by Ruth Panofsky (teaches English at Ryerson University), The Force Of Vocation: The Literary Career of Adele Wiseman is the first literary study of the written works of Canadian author Adele Wiseman, whose career began with her internationally acclaimed first novel "The Sacrifice", and included drama and nonfiction as well as years of service mentoring other writers. Extensively researched, and drawing upon previously unpublished archival material and personal interviews with publishers, editors, and writers, The Force of Vocation is a revealing life story about a literary professional who absolutely refused to compromise her work for marketability in the slightest.
