Product Description

Morley Callaghan began writing stories as a teenager (his first, unpublished little story is included here), and then in the 50s, with a long story - "The Man with the Coat" (recipient of the one and only Maclean’s Fiction Prize) - he gave up the form, saying it had become "too familiar, too easy." Through those years, his stories were published all over the world, but he had, as time and generations changed, a very ambiguous and fluid relationship with writers in Canada. Margaret Atwood, in her introduction, discusses not only the singular quality of his work, but the various ways in which his work was read by herself and others of her generation.

About the Author
Born in Toronto in 1903, Morley Callaghan graduated from the University of Toronto and Osgoode Hall. He was called to the bar in 1928 but he never practiced law. Although he travelled widely, and lived in Paris for some time during the golden years of Hemingway and Fitzgerald, Callaghan spent most of his life in Toronto producing fifteen novels, a memoir and streams of short stories. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature and in Canada received a host of honours, including the Governor General’s Award for Fiction. He died in 1990.
