Autorenporträt
Marilyn Bowering is a Canadian novelist and poet who grew up in Victoria, B.C. and lives there now. Her first novel, To All Appearances A Lady, was a New York Times Notable Book. Her second novel, Visible Worlds, was short-listed for the prestigious Orange Prize, nominated for the Dublin IMPAC Prize, and awarded the Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize. Visible Worlds was praised by The Independent as "a tour de force ? a wonderful piece of storytelling" and by The New York Times Book Review as "a vast, sprawling feast of a book." The Globe and Mail called Marilyn's novel What it Takes to Be Human, "a great novel? [Bowering] does not seek moments to be brilliant: those moments just arrive." Marilyn's most recent work, More Richly in Earth, part memoir and part literary investigation of a female Scottish Gaelic bard, was long-listed for the Saltire Prize. She is also the librettist for Marilyn Forever (Gavin Bryars) and the author of essays including "When We Walked on the Backs of Fish" in Green Matters.
