A year. A game. An island.
The early 1970s marked the beginning of Newfoundland’s cultural renaissance.
Reach for the Top
And in 1974, amidst the music, literature and burgeoning patriotic pride, a young upstart Reach for the Top team from Canada’s newest province had eliminated competitors from across the country, setting the stage for a showdown with the defending champions in the final match.
In Game, Joan Sullivan, editor of Memorial’s NL Quarterly tracks the signs of a culture coming into its own, and the team that held an entire island in rapt attention.
Game is published by Breakwater Books.
