And I have to give props to a writer who will dedicate an entire story to a word problem. And then another to the an alphabetical list of rules for living well: "Rules of Thumb." "B: Be ironic whenever possible...conversations not filled with witty repartee and self-congratulatory laughter are seldom worth having." Essays and short stories about diverse topics that share a edgy articulation. Like a June afternoon when the sun returns full-on after a thunderstorm, everything in these writings is three dimensional, in full color and sharp in every way. I particularly enjoy the first set of essays which gives the book it's name. The subsections are titled: Faith, Memory, Knowledge, Innocence, Strength, Imagination, Prayer, Abundance, Wisdom and Hope. They might once have started as a list of ten virtues but under the pen of the author they are now a more interesting something else.
Diane Schoemperlen wird zu den wichtigen neuen Autorinnen Kanadas gezählt und erhielt für die "Formen der Zuneigung" 1998 den kanadischen Literaturpreis Governor General´s Award for Fiction. Sie hat ein gekonnt gestaltetes Buch vorgelegt, das Wort und Bild spielerisch, doch präzise zu einem Ganzen fügt. Die Illustrationen laden zur genauen Betrachtung ein, die facettenreiche, visuell anmutende Sprache führt den Leser in die Geschichten, in denen Schönes und Schreckliches ungeahnt nahe beieinander liegen. Dies ist ein Buch zum Schmökern: Man wird es immer wieder aus dem Regal nehmen, um ein Stück darin zu blättern - und was möchte man von einem Buch mehr erhoffen? PrêmiosNotable Lists
