The basics

In case you didn’t notice them elsewhere, here are links to useful information that can be found on this very website.  Warning:  While every effort has been made to include only material that is factual, be aware that all information has been carefully edited to present Ricci in the most flattering possible light.

    Find out where Ricci grew up, whether he graduated, and what he thinks his great accomplishments are.
  • Nino’s CV
    Yes, Ricci worked for College Pro Painters during his university years.  No, he was never sued by any of his clients.  And yes, his CV is about as honest and reliable as your own.
  • Nino’s Publications
    A complete-ish list of every pamphlet Ricci every wrote and every former communist state that every published one of his books, and a rather more selective list of some the screeds and propaganda sheets that have been published about him.

Not enough information on this website to suit your needs?  Bothered by the overtly propagandistic tone of many of its entries?  Try some of these links for the bigger picture.

  • Athabasca University Canadian Writers site
    Find biographical information as well as a list of articles about Nino Ricci and his work and an essay by Sonia Wilson comparing Nino Ricci, Kristiana Gunnars, and Aritha van Herk.  Also a good site for learning about other Canadian writers.
  • The Canadian Encyclopedia

  • www.bookclubs.ca
    Even though this is essentially a sales and propaganda site for Ricci’s publisher, you can still get quite a bit of useful information here by clicking the ‘more’ buttons beneath each book, including author profiles, readers’ guides and slightly humorous Q&As.
  • Media files
    Find links to news, reviews, profiles, interviews and other fun media, for stalkers and serious researchers.
