The Foreigner (1909) tells the story of Kalman Kalmar, a young Ukrainian immigrant working in rural Saskatchewan. It addresses the themes of male maturation, cultural assimilation, and a form of muscular Christianity recurring in Connors popular Western tales. Daniel Colemans afterword considers the texts departure from Connors established fiction formulas and provides a unique framework for understanding its depiction of difference.
