About the Publisher

House of Anansi Press

House of Anansi Press was founded in 1967 by writers Dennis Lee and David Godfrey. Anansi started as a small press with a mandate to publish Canadian writers, and quickly gained attention for publishing authors such as Margaret Atwood, Matt Cohen, Michael Ondaatje, and Erín Moure, as well as George Grant and Northrop Frye. French-Canadian works in translation have always been an important part of the list, and prominent Anansi authors in translation include Roch Carrier, Marie-Claire Blais, and France Daigle. Today, the company specializes in finding and developing Canadian writers of literary fiction, poetry, and nonfiction, including Ken Babstock, Lynn Coady, Patrick DeWitt, Lisa Moore, and Eric Siblin, and in maintaining the culturally significant backlist that has accumulated in the decades since the house was founded.
