Abstract
George Ryga remains a presence. Two collections of his previously unavailable work have been published since his death six years ago, and there could be more. Future volumes, should they appear, could include some of his nine screenplays – such as what I believe to be one of the most powerful of all his works, A Storm in Yalta, a bittersweet portrait of Chekhov’s final days, written in the closing months of Ryga’s own life and full of autobiographical resonance. There are significant teleplays, such as Two Soldiers (1963) and Man Alive (1966), there is his poetry, and there is a lot of interesting correspondence. Although Talonbooks has finished its publishing of Ryga with Summerland, stating that this work “completes the publication project Talonbooks began in 1990, with ... The Athabasca Ryga”, these volumes must not be regarded as the final word from Ryga.
