	Hugh Hood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hugh Hood (April 30, 1928 - August 1, 2000) was a novelist, short story writer, essayist and university professor.
		Hood wrote 32 books: seventeen novels including the twelve-volume New Age novel sequence (influenced by Marcel Proust and Anthony Powell), several volumes of short fiction, and five of nonfiction.

	Studies in Canadian Literature
		Hood uses checkable facts, like the records for the hockey player Gary Paxton which the narrator finds in the first story; but the facts are exalted to their place in a religious allegory and sometimes they are adjusted to serve this greater fictional truth.
		Hood's Christian allegory, however, is still evident in the name of the main character, Angela-Marie or Marie-Ange, which suggests that she is an angel or messenger from God, and which links her with the figure of Mary in the opening story and in Le Grand Déménagement.

	The Ultimate Hallucination (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Hugh Hood masterfully dissects the human experience in its multitude of variations through his short stories posthumously collected in a fifth volume of short fiction.
		Hood brings to the forefront of our consciousness something as simple as the unyielding attachment to an ordinary object such as a coffee mug: "Every woman has the right to her own coffee mug.
		Because in each of Hood's works of fiction there is a kernel of truth the reader knows is probably stranger than the fiction it is wrapped in.

	The Antigonish Review 126: WJ Keith - Hugh Hood - The New Age - A Canadian Masterpiece
		Hugh Hood died on 1 August 2000; Near Water, the twelfth and final volume in his novel-series The New Age / Le nouvelle siècle, upon which he had been working for more than a quarter of a century, was published a few weeks later.
		Here we are presented with events in the early life of May-Beth Sleaford, later Codrington: her religious upbringing; her suffering when her musician-fiancé, with whom she discusses the mysteries of art, dies suddenly in a freak accident; an extended period of shock and grief followed by attempts to rebuild her life.

	Pilgrim's Progress: A Study of the Short Stories of Hugh Hood (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		This book is an interesting and informative analysis of the thematic structures of Hugh Hood's six short-story collections; the flaw is that it still reads like the master's thesis that it was (McGill 1985).
		She convincingly demonstrates how Hood structures each of his collections into a thematic unity to illustrate his vision of the interpenetration of the sacred and the secular -- the universal in the particular.
		This is the first book-length analysis of Hood's stories, and the readings are clear and informative, the allegorical interpretations justified by Hood's well-known use of symbolic names and numbers and emblematic images.

		In Hugh Hood’s electrifying and elusive stories, apparently placid surfaces conceal violent emotions and human failures.
		Hood’s achievement is to moralize without judging, to balance his insight into human failings with his expansive sympathy for people and their plight.
		Hugh Hood was born in Toronto in 1928.

	Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Keith is right that Hood (despite the critics’ scepticism concerning The New Age series) has always been acknowledged and anthologised as “one of the most skilful and probing Canadian practitioners of the short story.” But these final stories are not up to his usual standards.
		The exception might be “Life in Venice”: a charming tale of two frugal vacationers on a quest for a carrot-scraper who get “lost” in contemplation of the three churches that surround a Venetian hardware store and discover both “a miracle of the principles of engineering.
		Hugh Hood was one of the greatest short-story writers Canada has ever known.

		That Hugh: he knew just what he was up to, and he knew we'd figure it out too.
		Hugh was always fun, always there on the page with you, winking, celebrating the almost-completion of several years' work.
		Hugh has given us so much in his lovingly detailed portrayal of characters we can all recognize from our own lives, and has chronicled an age better than any historian during the past 30 years could ever have done.

	House of Anansi Press : titles
		Near Water is the final volume in Hugh Hood’s spectacular New Age series, an epic saga that is already treasured and revered as a meticulous chronicle of late 20th- and early 21st-century Canada.
		Son of a Nobel laureate, father of a space voyager, friend of a movie star, estranged husband of a painter, and semi-famous because of it all, Matthew Goderich is driving up to the lake for a possible reunion with Edie, from whom he has been separated for 30 years.
		With Hood we're in the presence of a veritable lifeguard.

		Hugh returned to Fredericton in 1919, was married to Gertrude Barry in 1920 and returned to the Fredericton Fire Department Call Force again with No. 2 Hose Company.
		Hugh O'Neill was always very pleased to remember, seeing as a boy, the first fire horses used in the City of Fredericton and to be the driver of the last team in the City in the winter of 1938.
		From 1938 until the mid 1940's he was driver of the motorized ladder truck, but it is quite safe to record that driving the truck did not hold the same thrill as being up on the wagon holding the reins behind Bill and Doll the last fire horses.

	Pilgrims's Progress: A Study of the Short Stories of Hugh Hood (Preview) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Hugh Hood has been called Canada's foremost writer of short stories, and in this book, the first complete critical work on Hood's short stories, Copoloff-Mechanic shows why he is the master craftsman of this genre.
		Hood has always insisted that his short-story collections should be treated as a unity -- as if each story were a chapter of a novel.
		In this book, the author accepts Hood's challenge, and shows how his six collections to date are carefully arranged in relation to a guiding theme.

	Amazon.de: English Books: Canadian Odyssey: A Reading of Hugh Hood's the New Age/Le Nouveau Siecle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Published between 1975 and 2000 and completed shortly before his death, Hugh Hood's twelve-volume novel-series The New Age/Le nouveau siecle represents a major achievement in Canadian fiction.
		Hood takes us on a remarkable, though challenging, journey in time and space while chronicling the life of his intellectually inquisitive protagonist, Matt Goderich.
		Moving from history and politics to literature and the arts, from popular song to the vagaries of fashion, from urban stress to the relaxations of cottage-country, these novels explore the texture of Canadian life with a depth and comprehensiveness that, when fully grasped, are dazzling.

		This means that works of art are accepted depending on a shared repertoire of conventions, institutions and practices.
		Canadian author Hugh Hood's novel, 'Five New Facts About Giorgione,' raises the moral dilemma which is faced by historiographers when they uncover evidence which contradicts established views.
		The novel is also an occasion for Hood to play upon the readers' lack of detailed knowledge on the setting of his novel.

	You'll Catch Your Death
		As the narrator in Hood's opening story observes, `what I saw was birds and birds and again birds'.
		Mosaic renderings of peacocks and cranes, a cage of cruelly imprisoned pigeons, a lorikeet named Ronnie Reagan, a couple of stolen cockatoos and a bestselling book entitled `Caring Parenting While Birding' each play a role in these stories, along with a cast of eccentric bird lovers.
		`Hugh Hood, whose thirty-year career includes such books as 1962's Flying a Red Kite and the New Age series, continues his success with You'll Catch Your Death.
