Produktbeschreibung

Who is Jacob Printz? Is he detached and cynical or warm and melancholic? In Maryann D'Agincourt's striking novel, readers come to know Jacob through the eyes of Greta Hatler as the two travelers, separated by age and background, meet unexpectedly in the midst of their own personal sorrows in Paris. Impressions of Jacob rise to the surface through haunting memories of his younger sister, Catherine. As in much of D'Agincourt's fiction, a character's truth lies in his or her response to a work of art. A new preface situates the novel within the genre of art fiction.

Autorenporträt

Maryann D'Agincourt has two graduate degrees in English literature. Subsequently, she studied in a program for writers through the Humber School, Toronto, where her mentors were Mavis Gallant and MG Vassanji. Her short stories have appeared in literary publications such as Able Muse. As a novel in progress, Journal of Eva Morelli was a finalist in the William Faulkner/William Wisdom Competition.Kirkus Reviews calls her novel Glimpses of Gauguin, "A precisely rendered image of a quest to tease out life's larger meaning." Printz, her third work of fiction, is included on the Chicago Review (2017) list of novels for review. Tom Mayer, Mountain Times writes: "That great masterpieces fascinate D'Agincourt and inform that writing is clear. That the author can parse the strokes that crafted those works of art and reassemble them into subtle, character-driven narratives is a gift. And like a painting, Printz is a gift of a novel layered through multiple viewings."
