27 décembre 1913 – 4 mars 1986
Elizabeth Smart a forgé une voix puissante et unique dans la littérature canadienne à travers sa poésie et ses romans. Sa prose et ses vers regorgent de passion et d'introspection profonde. Elle est célébrée pour son roman intensément personnel qui relate avec franchise et poésie une passionnante histoire d'amour. L'écriture de Smart oscille souvent entre la réalité brute et les visions oniriques, explorant les complexités de l'émotion et des relations humaines.
First published in 1978, and widely considered to be the sequel to her masterpiece `By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept', this remarkable book further established Smart's reputation as a brave and inspirational writer.
First published in 1945, Elizabeth Smart's By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept is an enigmatic and nearly indescribable book, a small classic of poetic prose whose author has been compared with Anaïs Nin and Djuna Barnes. In lushly evocative language, Smart recounts her love affair with the poet George Barker with an operatic grandeur that takes in the tragedy of her passion; the suffering of Barker's wife; the children the lovers conceived. Accompanied in this edition by The Assumption of the Rogues and Rascals, a short novel that may be read as its sequel, By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept has been hailed by critics worldwide as a work of sheer genius.
Elizabeth Smart's passionate fictional account of her intense love-affair with the poet George Barker, described by Angela Carter as 'Like Madame Bovary blasted by lightening ... A masterpiece'.
