	Literary Encyclopedia: Coady, Lynn
		When Lynn Coady published her debut novel, Strange Heaven, in 1998, the literary community in Canada was both excited and enchanted by the destabilising energy of Coady's prose, her treatment of the abject and the taboo in the lives of her characters, and the juxtaposition of humour and absurdity that has since become her trademark.
		Coady's characters, predominantly from the working class and the marginalized in Cape Breton, struggle with the problems, hypocrisies, and limitations within their families and Maritime communities.
		Coady, who was born January 24, 1970, grew up in a large family in the small, industrial town of Port Hawkesbury in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

	The Antigonish Review 125: Jim Taylor Tessie Gillis Lynn Coady - Play The Monster Blind
		Lynn Coady's collection of short stories, Play the Monster Blind, and her very successful first novel Strange Heaven are similar to The Promised Land.
		Coady portrays the father as "the kindest man you could ever know," a lovable old soft touch who dotes on his daughter saying things like, "Come in and have a bite of tea, now, Katherine." Katherine sees her father in mythic terms.
		Coady is like a dexterous puppeteer as she manipulates the levels of point of view using the uneasiness of parents and the neighbors over Murdeen's decision to do something considered odd by the standard of the community.

	Reviews \| Saints of Big Harbour by Lynn Coady
		Lynn Coady is that kind of literary "find," a young author of incredibly deep perception, sensibility and compassion.
		Though Coady likes to recount the story that she almost didn't get the call about the GG nomination because her phone had been cut off, her success has happened quickly and, even more impressively, hasn't thrown her off balance.
		I do not believe it is a coincidence that Coady now lives in Vancouver, which is geographically the farthest point she could travel away from home and not fall into the ocean.

	Review \| Strange Heaven by Lynn Coady
		She was queen of the prom, on her parent's mantelpiece forever, now.
		Coady's prose is spare: she takes you places without a lot of preamble or wasted breath.
		Bridget is precocious but -- ultimately -- likable and Coady shows herself to be a novelist with wit and a knack for looking at that which is grittiest in everyday life.

	Guardian Unlimited Books \| By genre \| Observer review: Saints of big Harbour by Lynn Coady
		Her third book, the first to be published in Britain, confirms the arrival of a promising literary talent, perhaps a major one, although it is premature to compare her, as some critics have done, to William Faulkner or Carson McCullers.
		Coady, who is 30 and now lives in Vancouver, sets Saints of big Harbour in the same landscape (the eccentric use of capitals and lower case is repeated in the chapter headings).
		Coady not only understands the passions and impulses of small-town life; she feels the comedy too.
