"When an environmental disaster destroys Toronto, four childhood friends are forced to abandon their urban middle-class lives and choose the extremes by which they will survive. One man, Paul Henry, returns to the northern Ontario land of his youth, seeking to escape and endure deep within the wilderness, away from all contact with others. Paul's quest is an echo of the journey of another man, Drummond MacKay, an 18th-century fur trader whose diary Paul reads and burns as he travels further and further into a landscape that knows nothing of time or man. The Wabeno Feast was first published by Anansi in 1973. It belongs next to Temptations of Big Bear, Surfacing, and The Diviners in the Canadian literary canon."
