Editor's review

I Run with the Fox is a work by the Canadian author Mona Gould, released by Project Gutenberg as a public-domain ebook and classified under American and Canadian literature. Judging by the title and the author's identity, it is a literary work with a strong sense of place, suited to readers interested in broadening their view of twentieth-century Canadian literature in English. Gould was born in 1908, and her writing carries the distinctive observational perspective and verbal texture of a woman author of that era. The book is moderate in length and, as a public-domain electronic text, easy to obtain; it can serve as a window onto a less mainstream writer in the Canadian literary landscape. While reading, note the natural imagery and regional color, and consider comparing it with the Canadian literary tradition. Readers used to fast-paced contemporary narrative may need a little patience to enter its rhythm.

Reading tips

Learn the basic contours of Canadian literature first; the book will then feel more oriented.
Note the natural and regional imagery and keep brief reading notes.
If the rhythm is hard to adjust to, read one short section a day and proceed gradually.

About the author

Mona Gould Author · Canadian · 1908–1999

Mona Gould (1908–1999) was a Canadian poet, journalist and broadcaster, born in 1908 in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. During the 1940s she published three collections of poetry: Tasting the Earth, I Run with the Fox and Gossip! Her work, often concise and musical in language, captures everyday experience and natural imagery; among her poems, "This Was My Brother" circulated widely and brought her a broader readership. She later hosted programmes on Toronto radio for many years, continuing to speak to the public through her voice. Public information about her education and awards is limited. She died in 1999 in Collingwood, Ontario, and her poems are still regarded as a fresh and approachable page in modern Canadian poetry.
