The ecstasy of resistance

"This is a comprehensive, authorized biography of Canadian playwright George Ryga, which includes substantial information pertaining to his life, his works, and, to a degree, the times in which he lived. Beginning with a discussion of his Ukrainian forebears, the work describes major events in Ryga's life, especially as they relate to his writing - in particular his better known theatrical works, such as Indian and The Ecstasy of Rita Joe - up to his death in 1987. Ryga is a problematic but important Canadian writer, and a vital figure who had a troubled relationship with Canada based on his immigrant background, his training and influences as a writer, and his particular ideological beliefs."--Jacket.
