Checking Availibility...Description
The lyrical and precise stories in The Garden of Earthly Intimacies achieve an intensity that touches on the rhapsodic. Few characters in recent Canadian fiction are as responsive to the sensual richness of the world as the women who inhabit these beautifully transparent stories. Whether they're stepping into a warm bath recently abandoned by an elusive, imaginary lover, or stepping onto the pure whiteness of an isolated Mexican beach, the women in Meeka Walsh's fictional garden carry themselves forward in a glistening exquisite dance.
About this Author
Reviews
`A central theme of the book is the belief that knowing and interpreting the world are private and nearly unsharable passions. What can be exchanged are words, stories, music. And beneath the language and visual beauty of the text is a yearning to tell smells. The olfactory sense, once so vital to our survival, is often evoked.'
