Summary:
Hard Surface is a lyrical, informative and amusing approach to what we encounter every day and often take for granted. Stopping at points of human, geographical and historical interest, it is also a journey through a country’s past and present, celebrating as it goes along our search for meaning and nationhood. As the first non-fiction celebration of the Canadian road, Hard Surface takes the reader on a brisk ride that joyfully reveals the road to be an extension of our search for truth, meaning and a better life, demonstrating that the real value of the road may not be the transportation of goods and cargo, but the search for ourselves, and the gathering and spreading of stories across a great and vast land.
