Produktbeschreibung
Using decades of experience as an adventurous writer/artist, who not only won a first prize for Short Fiction in 1968 (in Independent Guyana), and Canada Council Awards for contemporary painting in 1980s Toronto, Terence Roberts has combined his life experiences in the arts, and as a traveler, to produce Homage, his unique debut collection of stories. Apart from their suggestive autobiographical/fictional data, some of these startling and often hilarious stories, are exercises in the possibilities of contemporary fiction. In all, this makes Homage an exciting read on both levels of content and style. About the Author: Terence Roberts is an experienced writer whose prose and poetry appeared in the magazines "Impulse: Contemporary Canadian Writers," "Poetry Wales" in the UK, and other literary journals in Canada, and Guyana, his birthplace. He emigrated with his parents to Toronto in 1969, and became a Canadian citizen in 1978, emerging as a key New Wave artist in the 1980s, also a TV anchor and film columnist in Independent Guyana in later years. He has resided in Toronto, Rome, Turin, Milan, Madrid, Caracas, Mexico City, Montreal, and New York City. Publisher's website: http://sbprabooks.com/TerenceRoberts

Autorenporträt
Terence Roberts was born in Ruthin, North Wales, before moving to Halifax, West Yorkshire, as a young child. It is here, on the Grove Estate in Ovenden, that he grew up from boy to man. He qualified as a probation officer at the University of Huddersfield, then worked for the probation service in Merseyside and West Yorkshire. At the age of 50, he followed his dream and went to live in Ireland where he worked for the Irish Probation Service in Limerick. Now retired, he lives in O'Brien's Bridge, County Clare, with his family of horses, donkeys and retired greyhounds. This period of his life in Ireland proved inspiration for the memoir, All Because of Daisy.
