Elizabeth Smart Orden de los libros (cronológico)
27 de diciembre de 1913 – 4 de marzo de 1986
Elizabeth Smart forjó una voz poderosa y única en la literatura canadiense a través de su poesía y novelas. Su prosa y verso rebosan de pasión e introspección profunda. Es celebrada por su novela intensamente personal que narra franca y poéticamente una apasionada aventura amorosa. La escritura de Smart oscila a menudo entre la cruda realidad y las visiones oníricas, explorando las complejidades de la emoción y las relaciones humanas.
First published in 1945, Elizabeth Smart's By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept is an enigmatic and nearly indescribable book, a small classic of poetic prose whose author has been compared with Anaïs Nin and Djuna Barnes. In lushly evocative language, Smart recounts her love affair with the poet George Barker with an operatic grandeur that takes in the tragedy of her passion; the suffering of Barker's wife; the children the lovers conceived. Accompanied in this edition by The Assumption of the Rogues and Rascals, a short novel that may be read as its sequel, By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept has been hailed by critics worldwide as a work of sheer genius.
Elizabeth Smart's passionate fictional account of her intense love-affair with the poet George Barker, described by Angela Carter as 'Like Madame Bovary blasted by lightening ... A masterpiece'.
