Varieties of Exile

Varieties of Exile

by Mavis Gallant  •  Russell Banks (Introduction)

  • LITERATURE
  • 2003
  • PAPER
  • 400 PAGES

Wonderful stories set primarily in Gallant's native Montreal (with side trips to Paris, Moscow, and the south of France). Gallant left Canada for France shortly after World War II, and the Montreal of her stories is the place she remembers from childhood: a city starkly divided between working-class French Catholics and genteel English Protestants. The book includes the autobiographical Linnet Muir story cycle.  (CND267, $14.95)
