( ) Mavis Gallant is a brilliant writer. These stories are, without exception, wonderful studies in character. Ms. Gallant has managed to write about the intervals between actions or major events...about times when, for the most part, nothing happens. Conversations, with friends, family or strangers, are how we gather stories in real life. In this collection, short glimpses of characters interacting similarly gives us stories about them and about life. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Mavis Gallant (1922-2014) once told an interviewer that she could no more stop being Canadian than she could change the colour of her eyes. Born in Montreal, she left a career as a leading journalist in that city to move to Paris in 1950 to write. She published stories on a regular basis in The New Yorker, many of which were anthologized. Her worldwide reputation was established by books such as From the Fifteenth District and Home Truths, which won the Governor General's Award in 1982. In that same year she was made an Officer of the Order of Canada, becoming a Companion of the Order in 1993, the year she published Across the Bridge and was the recipient of a special tribute at the Harbourfront International Festival of Authors in Toronto. She received several honorary degrees from Canadian universities and remained a much sought-after public speaker. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
