Eden Robinson Eden Robinson was born in Kitamaat, British Columbia in 1968. She is a member of the Haisla and Heiltsuk First Nations. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Victoria and a Creative Writing MA at the University of British Columbia. Eden Robinson's Traplines (1996), is a collection of three short stories and a novella. Robinson's young narrators recount haunting tales of their disturbing relationships with sociopaths and psychopaths. The collection won Britain's Winifred Holtby Prize for the best regional work by a Commonwealth writer. Monkey Beach (2000), Robinson's first novel, is set in Kitamaat territory. The novel follows a teenaged girl's search for answers to and understanding of her younger brother's disappearance at sea. The book is both a mystery and a spiritual journey, combining contemporary realism with Haisla mysticism. Bibliography Awards Submitted by prathna on Thu, 07/16/2009 - 17:59. Works in the Archive |
