Biography

Barbara Gowdy's critically acclaimed six novels and widely anthologized short stories have been published in twenty-four countries and have appeared on best-seller lists throughout the world. She has been a finalist three times for the Governor General's Award and the Roger's Trust Fiction Prize, twice for the Scotia Bank Giller Prize and the Commonwealth Writers' Prize, and has been long-listed for the Booker Prize. She is a Trillium Book Award winner, a Member of the Order of Canada, and a Guggenheim Fellow. Ben Marcus, Harper's Magazine, named her as one of the few "terrific" literary realists who have "pounded on the emotional possibilities of their mode, refusing to subscribe to worn-out techniques and story-telling methods."
