Description

Crossings was Betty Lambertis just fresh; printed by Pulp Press in 1979, it was groundbreaking because of its honest and disturbing manifestation of Vicky, a lady author in Vancouver in the first 1960s, an informed and wise lady who struggles to come quickly to terms with himself as she navigates an emotionally abusive relationship with Mik, a chaotic logger and ex con. Their bodily, frequently chaotic event provides an unflinching and honest look at feminine suffering and associations. A furor was caused by the book when it was first printed, and actually was barred from some feminist Canadian bookstores. At the same time frame, it had been widely-acclaimed by critics and writers, including Jane Principle, who wrote: "This picture of an artist as a woman must remain beside Alice Munro's Who Do You Think You're and Margaret Laurence's The Diviners being an account of the bravery and price to be a woman and a writer."Out-Of-Print for significantly more than two decades, this new version of Crossings may expose this Canadian classic―and amazing writer―to a new era of readers.Includes an introduction by author Claudia Casper (The Renovation and The Extension of Love by Other Means).
