Acerca del autor

GRAEME GIBSON was born in London, Ontario, in 1934. He received his B.A. in English and philosophy from the University of Western Ontario (1958). He then lived and wrote in England, France, Mexico, and Toronto. Gibson's first novel, Five Legs (1969), a pioneering work of experimental fiction, is a searching exploration of the Southern Ontario Protestant ethos. His second, Communion (1971), collapsed the barriers between internal mindscape and external reality in an apocalyptic vision of contemporary spiritual bleakness. In his third novel, Perpetual Motion (1982), he turns to nineteenth-century rural Ontario to probe the origins of this bleakness through one man's greedy and soulless obsession with the creation of a perpetual motion machine. He is also the author of two bedside companions, The Bedside Book of Birds (2005) and The Bedside Book of Beasts (2009).

An important spokesman for Canadian cultural identity, Gibson was the initial organizer and a founding member of the Writers' Union of Canada, and was its chairman in 1976. He was also an organizer and founding member of the Writers' Trust, a non-profit organization, and was subsequently its chairman. From 1987 to 1989, he was president of the Canadian Centre of International PEN. In 1990, he won a Toronto Arts Award for writing and publishing, and, in 1992, he received the Order of Canada. Graeme Gibson died in September 2019.
