Welcome Reader,

You have found us at last. You've been looking for a long time, haven't you, searching for Canadian fiction without oppression, without the suffering. All those sensitive coming-of-age tragedies and poetic odes to the blowing wheat of the prairies have left you defeated. You have wandered the landscape of the Canadian novel and you have knelt and wept, traumatized by the weight of these stories. We understand. The Workhorsery is holding its arms out to you, waiting to offer comfort with stories that don't hurt. Non-traumatizing Canadian fiction does exist. No, really, it does. And we want to prove it to you.
