NOTES
Type:
General
Note:
As John Metcalf says himself in the beginning of side one, he reads a story set in both England and Canada, spanning different time periods. In England, the narrative focuses on a historical era when institutions similar to prisons [approved schools?] existed. In Canada, it describes harsh establishments similar to the Home Office, which referrers to the general prison system.
