Reseña del editor:
The O. Henry Awards are regarded as America's most prestigious awards for short fiction. Mary Swan's story `The Deep', first published in The Malahat Review, was included in the 2001 O. Henry anthology, which featured such illustrious names as Alice Munro, Dan Chaon and Louise Erdrich. `The Deep'subsequently walked away with first prize.
In September, 2002, the Porcupine's Quill published The Deep in novella format. The book was shortlisted for the Canada/Carribean Region of the Commonwealth Writers Prize, `Best First Book' category.
Now, the Porcupine's Quill is pleased to bring you Emma's Hands. These stories range in their settings from an Israeli kibbutz to Ontario lakeside cottages to the beach at Ostend. Most of the stories are quietly cadenced and elegiac in tone and the prose is marked, as Alice Munro says, by `the urgency of feeling and the calm beauty of the telling.'

Buchbeschreibung Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Original printed wraps. 160 pp. Octavo. `It's not often Alice Munro offers a quote to promote an emerging writer, but after delving into the pages of Emma's Hands, Mary Swan's stellar first collection of short stories, it's easy to see why Munro wants people to stand up and notice. Swan is a first-class writer. Small children, dead relatives, and memories populate her stories, as Swan pays tribute to all the senses contained in remembering. . Swan's gift lies in her ability to produce succinct, poetic lines that immediately transport the reader to a memory so vibrant it feels like home. Her deft handling of emotions is as welcome as loving arms, reminding the reader that comfort is as vital to life as air. Her brilliant opening lines linger in the mind -- hopeful and portentous -- ushering the reader forward in anticipation.' Printed offset by Tim Inkster on the Heidelberg KORD at the printing office of the Porcupine's Quill in the Village of Erin, Wellington County, Ontario, Canada. Smyth sewn into 16-page signatures, with hand-tipped endleaves, front and back. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9780889842687
