Michael Redhill Fidelity: Stories
Doubleday of Canada 2003 0385659466 / 9780385659468 Hardcover Very Good
"'() In this collection of 10 short stories, Michael Redhill, playwright and author of the acclaimed novel Martin Sloane, explores the many faces of fidelity and infidelity among husbands and wives, lovers, children, parents. Writing gracefully, with dialogue that has the genuine feel of intimacy, Redhill analyzes the nature of desire and trust and the ways they can impinge on each other. In ''Mount Morris,'' a photographer comes once a year to a small town to see his former wife. Unable to split for good, they persistently and painfully fall into old patterns, their love ''more than a memory, but less than a presence: a tune they could still hum.'' In ''The Flesh Collectors,'' Redhill places the humorous and the horrific in succeeding paragraphs, when Roth, without his wife's knowledge, attempts to make a deposit at a semen storage facility and accidentally turns on the television, which blasts out news of a disaster in Israel. At times, Redhill's stories can disturb by what he lea'''' ID: mon0000077896"

"Michael: Redhill, Michael: Spalding, Esta: Spalding, Linda (editors) Ondaatje" Lost Classics
Alfred A. Knopf Canada 2000 0676972993 / 9780676972993 Hardcover New
"'() Writers, it's often said, are readers first and writers second. Frequently, it is the indelible mark left by some book that inspires a person to commit to the writing life. Mining that vein, the editors of Brick, a Canadian literary journal, asked their contributors ''to tell us the story of a book loved and lost.'' The ''Lost Classics'' issue has been expanded into a book, in which 73 authors--Margaret Atwood, Russell Banks, John Irving, Philip Levine, Anchee Min, and Michael Ondaatje among them--write about the books they've loved and lost. These are books worth stealing, books remembered in the twilight that precedes sleep, books that, for these authors, provided ''that moment when a reader seems to have found the perfect mate.'' Though many of the books extolled here are acknowledged classics, many are not. Helen Garner cherishes a childhood book that ''except for members of my immediate family, no Australian I've mentioned the book to ... has had any knowledge of it whatso'''' ID: mon0000030434"

Michael Redhill Martin Sloane: A Novel
Anchor Canada 2001 0385259875 / 9780385259873 Paperback Like New
"clean, tight, has a remainder mark,() When Toronto poet and playwright Michael Redhill published his first novel, Martin Sloane, he made headlines for the novel's long gestation through 12 complete drafts written over 10-plus years. In an age when many blockbuster novels read as though they never saw an editor's pencil, Redhill's stamina and his ruthless self-appraisal were enough to make him newsworthy. But all that attention to its composition raises the basic question about the book itself: was Martin Sloane worth all the effort? As it turns out, Redhill's first novel is an intense, poetic evocation of the experience of time and place and the personality of a fictional Irish-Canadian collage artist, Martin Sloane, whose work, if not his life, resembles the nostalgic boxes built by the real-life sculptor Joseph Cornell. Told through the voice of his abandoned lover Jolene Iolas, who had a relationship with the older man in her youth, the story explores the connection between Slo ID: mon0000123741"
