	greg hollingshead: books: Bedlam
		From the enduring love of Matthews and his wife, to the despair of the Bethlem inmates, to the moral agonies of John Haslam, Hollingshead's eye for rendering the human condition has never been finer.
		This is a flawless novel in which imagination bridges the chasm between love and hate, between loss and reconciliation.
		Greg Hollingshead creates a remarkably detailed picture of the social and political worlds of the 18 th century that raises intensely important questions about our own."

		Hollingshead's is one of a whole range of Canadian voices to be heard far from his own shores recently; one of an exciting list that includes Anne Michaels, Gail Anderson-Dargatz, Eden Robinson, Shani Mootoo, Rohinton Mistry and Marilyn Bowering.
		Hollingshead says that this scrutiny of content, at the expense of an appreciation of the formal qualities of a work, was determined from the moment Canadian literature entered the academy.
		In hindsight, Hollingshead sees the impulse that preceded and promoted the debate on appropriation of voice to have been feminism, allied as it was to a desire to give the oppressed the chance to speak - women, gays, minority writers, children.

	Books in Canada - Review
		When Greg Hollingshead received advance notice by phone at his home in Edmonton that he'd won the Governor General's Award for his story collection The Roaring Girl, he acted with the slow deliberation of one of his own characters.
		Hollingshead's collection captured a solid place in January on the Globe and Mail's national bestseller list and by late April had risen to second place.
		The process can go overboard as in Hollingshead's horrific portrait, "When She was Gone" in White Buick, of the necrophiliac fetishist Ed Gein, a Wisconsin farmer who used to dress up in the flayed skins of female cadavers.

		Just got back from dinner with Greg Hollingshead and various people from our uni.
		Greg read this evening as part of the Lorenzo Reading Series, and was kind enough to visit my Prose Narrative Before 1800 class this afternoon to discuss his novel Bedlam (previously mentioned here and here).
		I'm too tired to post much now — all those links were exhausting — other than to say that Greg is a charming man, his reading enriched the text, the classroom visit was a success, and the tortellini at dinner was a little rubbery.

		The Roaring Girl is the fourth book by Greg Hollingshead, who was born in Toronto in 1947 and has taught for many years at the University of Alberta in Edmonton.
		And yet, reading through the book, I was struck by the fact that many of Hollingshead's central characters seem to be perfectly normal, quiet, considerate, reasonable residents of cities or suburbs, trying to live their lives as they've been taught, only to run headfirst into strange, unexpected complications caused by other people.
		In one story, a woman and her husband have a large box, destined for Sudan, foisted upon them but never picked up.

	Miracle Worker
		he Canadian writer Greg Hollingshead's latest novel begins with a quiet gaze at some mining-town eccentrics in their bus-stop cafe, leveling their own suspicious glances at a visiting newspaper reporter posing as a home buyer in search of a country retreat.
		But this is only his way of teasing us before he does a quick change, ditching his wry reserve and his terse, literary demeanor for a wilder-eyed approach.
		It is in his open-mindedness that the grace and unexpected, understated humor of ''The Healer'' are revealed -- the sight of a prim, rather nerdy newspaper reporter stepping earnestly into the chaos Hollingshead has lovingly wrought for him, putting his own grief carefully aside in order to gather around him the prickly sorrows of others.

		Several times I thought about giving up on Bedlam by Greg Hollingshead (on page 58, on page 176 and so on).
		What keep me reading was that I wondered whether I would have escaped being thrown in a mad house if I had lived in London at the turn of the nineteenth century, as had Jamie Matthews.
		The true genius of Hollingshead's book lies in the depth and complexity of the two main characters, Jamie Matthews and the John Haslam (Bethlem's apothecary), drawing you from one side to the other.
