Title: Dear reader
Description: "Dear Reader: Selected Scott Symons combines excerpts from his published material with previously unpublished extracts from novels and diaries. Celebrating both civic duty and the sensual life, spirituality and homoeroticism, intense satire and heartfelt celebration, Symons' themes are as complex as their formal expression. He writes across the categories of novel, journalism, academic essay, and connoisseur's treatise.

The result is a series of works unique to Canadian letters, collected here in a thoroughly readable format."--BOOK JACKET.
