Hugh MacLennan at 46. It always strikes me when someone I considered old turns out to be so much younger than I am now. (I first noticed this when, after my mother passed, I read an essay she'd written for school, age sixteen. That's part of the interest in reading about the young MG, too. Prose, like aspic, preserves young minds.
As a fan girl, I am really keen to read your unedited version of "A Wonderful Country". I wonder how many others she met in that job provided inspiration for the characters in her stories.
