Autorenporträt
Bruce Hutchison (1901-92) was one of Canada's foremost journalists. His career spanned most of the 20th century and he was the recipient of many honours, including three Governor General's Awards. In nearly 75 years of political reporting, Hutchison developed friendships with political personalities ranging from Louis St Laurent to Pierre Elliott Trudeau. His writings on Canada and its political figures were characterized by the confidential vignette, but he was criticized for partisan loyalty to the Liberal party-a charge he denied. His best-known book, The unknown country: Canada and her people (1943) is a delightful panorama of Canada. Hutchison also dealt successfully with the larger movements of politics and economics. His novel The hollow men (1944), the story of a newspaper correspondent disillusioned by world war, combines subtle political satire with sympathy for wilderness life.
