Welcome to Litsy!

Now 81, American-born Audrey Thomas has lived in Canada since 1959. She's one of Canadian lit's best-kept secrets; many of these stories, which explore the autobiographical themes - divorce, motherhood, artistic reinvention, and exile - that animate much of her fiction, are eye-poppingly good. Stellar writing and rebellious, talented, sexual, often deliciously acerbic female protagonists: irresistible or what?

I would NEVER be late for a lunch date with this woman. 💜💜

I can't remember the last time I read anything about family dynamics that struck me as being as true as this…

This is the beginning to one of these short stories, and I think it's just stunning.

I loved some of her stories two decades or so ago; I'm feeling nostalgic and excited to read more of them all these years later…

I think it was in the early 90s that I went to one of her readings and then read a collection of her stories, which I loved. I picked this one up for #BacklistBinge!
