The Heart Accepts it all: Selected Letters of John Glassco
|
| Abstract |
According to the publisher, "Decades after his death, John Glassco [1909-1981] remains Canada’s most enigmatic literary figure. The Heart Accepts It All: SelectedLetters of John Glassco draws back the curtain on this self-described ‘great practitioner of deceit.’ We see the delight he took in revealing his many literary hoaxes to friends, and the scorn he had for literary fashion. The letters reflect his convictions about literature, other writers and his own talent, while documenting struggles with publishers, pirates and censors." The Montreal-born Glassco produced a body of work that encompasses poetry, memoir, translation, and several bestselling books of pornography. The publisher notes that "Collected here are the few surviving letters from his youthful adventures in France and three previously unpublished poems. Amongst his correspondents were Maurice Girodias, F.R. Scott, A.J.M. Smith, Ralph Gustafson, Leon Edel and Margaret Atwood."
