Nota de la solapa:
ce to this book Mavis Gallant describes her life as a writer of fiction: “I still do not know what impels anyone of sound mind to leave dry land and spend a lifetime describing people who do not exist. If it is child’s play, an extension of make-believe–something one is frequently assured by persons who write about writing–how to account for the overriding wish to do that, just that, only that, and consider it as natural an occupation as riding a racing bike over the Alps? Perhaps the cultural attache at a Canadian embassy who said to me ‘Yes, but what do you really do?’ was expressing an adult opinion.”
What Mavis Gallant really does is write some of the finest short stories in the English language. She has been doing so since 1950, the year that The New Yorker accepted one of her short stories and changed her life. Over the years, as her stories in book form reached a wider audience she–like Alice Munro and Margaret AtwoodR

Born in Montreal in 1922, Mavis Gallant left a career as a leading journalist in that city to move to Paris in 1950 to write.
Since that time she has been publishing stories on a regular basis in The New Yorker, many of which have been anthologized. Her world-wide reputation has been 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 that she published Across the Bridge and was the recipient of a special tribute at the Harbourfront International Festival of Authors in Toronto.
