About the Author:
From Booklist:
Elizabeth Hay was born in Owen Sound, Ontario and attended Victoria College, the University of Toronto. She has travelled widely- to Mexico, Argentina and Brazil - and lived for several years in Manhattan where she taught creative writing at NYU. Elizabeth Hay has also worked as a CBC radio journalist on the 'Sunday Morning' show from Toronto, 'Radio Noon' and 'Focus North' from Yellowknife and the morning show from Winnipeg. She currently lives in Ottawa where she has taught creative writing at the University of Ottawa.
This exceptional, well-paced collection of linked stories about women's friendships has an extraordinarily intimate feel that's propelled by the reader's sense that he or she has either known or been the woman Hay portrays, the character Beth, who is the connecting thread. She and the author Elizabeth are most often one, but occasionally their voices separate into two, weaving an extra glint of color in the fabric of the stories. Beth, also a writer, is self-conscious and analytical. She focuses her examining eye on her friendships--the joys and wounds, offerings and rejections, beginnings and endings--to find further clues to her own self. And these friends of hers are an interesting and diverse group. In "Hand Games" she sees the woes of friendship through her daughter's eyes; in "Sayonara" the friend is a man with indefinable motives; in "The Reader" it is a sentimental woman with a core of steel. Canadian writer Hay, author of the splendid novel A Student of Weather [BKL N 15 00], evokes timelessness and universality. Danise Hoover
