Product Description

As André Alexis says in his introduction, "There is much to talk about in these stories" because Callaghan is "writing about the inherent, he is after what lies within," and Callaghan’s characters are inherently "in flight, hard to grasp, on the verge of change, subject to unexpected and unsuspected impulses: the irrational (anger, violence, jealousy, sexual desire, blind hatred...) His chosen subject was the fleeting."

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.
