Summary:Issue 2.1 opened with a Marshall McLuhan article entitled 'The Relationship of Environment to Anti-Environment," an essay directed to readers conversant in media discourse, its title perhaps suggestive of the Review's double vision, matching critical and cultural theory with literary and artistic practice/ From the start, The University of Windsor Review defied the tide of Canadian literary nationalism that prevailed into the 1970s and that drew energy from Carl F. Klink's 1965 landmark Literary Histoiy of Canada and the Centennial buzz. Over a twenty year period 1969-1989, the journal reviewed 276 books including D.G. Jones' Butterfly on Rock (see Peter Stevens' review in this issue). In 1968, Joyce Carol Oates joined the faculty at the University of Windsor-her husband Ray Smith was Head of the Department-and would teach in the English Department for ten years. From 1968-1970 she served as McNamara's first Fiction Editor, contributing reviews, poetry, and short stories including the story collected in this issue, "Angst," in 1974- During MacLeod's 43-year tenure as Fiction Editor (1971-2014) he would publish two short story collections, The Lost Salt Gift of Blood (1976) and As Birds Bring Forth the Sun and Other Stories (1986), one novel, No Great Mischief (winner of the Trillium and International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, 2001), be named an Officer of the Order of Canada in 2008, and receive the PEN/ Malamud Award for Short Fiction in 2009.
