Starting with this incisive analysis of Smallwood's "sea change," Dragland offers a luminous reading of Johnston's novel that sees it as "a giant contemplation of Newfoundland," one "large enough and compelling enough and playfully original enough to earn a place alongside other nation-making epics."
