About this title

About the Author:

Johanna Skibsrud is the author of two collections of poetry. The Sentimentalists, her first novel, won the 2010 Scotiabank Giller Prize, Canada's most prestigious literary award. She lives in Montreal and Tucson.

Review:

"The characters in these note-perfect stories tend to make their most important discoveries by stumbling against them...The writing here is an absolute joy to read; clear, economical and condensed." -- Kate Saunders The Times "Funny, thoughtful and oblique, Skibsrud's stories explode with sudden meaning." Independent "What is it about Canada that keeps on producing some of the best short stories writers in the world? The latest of the younger generation and the most talked about is Johanna Skibsrud. It's a name that might be hard to remember, but her stories are difficult to forget." -- Christena Appleyard Daily Mail
