Atwood’s “Death by Landscape” is a multi-layered tale linking a young girl’s disappearance to the death of Tom Thomson, a Canadian painter who inspired the Group of Seven. The paintings from the Group, which frame the camp narrative within which Lucy vanishes, are also associated with the virility ideology that Atwood subverts.
