Acerca del autor

David French
Born in Coley's Point, Newfoundland, David French was one of Canada's best-known and most critically acclaimed playwrights. His work received many major awards, and French was one of the first inductees into the Newfoundland Arts Hall of Honour.

Among his best-loved works are the semi-autobiographical Mercer plays: Salt-Water Moon; 1949; Leaving Home, recently named one of Canada's 100 Most Influential Books (Literary Review of Canada) and one of the 1,000 Most Essential Plays in the English Language (Oxford Dictionary of Theatre); Of the Fields, Lately; and Soldier's Heart. The Mercer plays have received hundreds of productions across North America, including a Broadway production of Of the Fields, Lately. This quintet of plays about a Newfoundland family has also touched audiences in Europe, South America and Australia. In addition, French produced skillful adaptations of Alexander Ostrovsky's The Forest, Anton Chekhov's The Seagull and August Strindberg's Miss Julie.

Descripción:

Vancouver, BC: Talonbooks, 2000. Soft cover. Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; a couple of small light creases to covers; light wear to corners; spine straight and uncreased; very minimal wear; It's Memorial Day, 1990, and Margaret Ryan has returned from Vermont to the Ontario cottage country where 32 years before, she was forced to vacation with her family at a lakeside resort. For her and her sister Daisy, it was a time of awakening, a time of discovery. As the narrator Margaret watches Maggie, her younger self, relive the innocence and beauty of that summer, the play moves inexorably back to the heartbreak of a headlong surrender to experience, both won and lost in a single day. Cinematic in its feel and pacing, recalling the '50s genre of Dirty Dancing and My American Cousin, That Summer is a meditation on what endures of fleeting moments over time.
