ISBN: 088922367X ISBN-13: 9780889223677 Publisher: Talonbooks OUR PRICE: $11.66 Product Type: Paperback Published: October 1996 Annotation: In this her first book of "prosaics", Renee Rodin discovers a home in the wilderness surrounding her. Pieced together from childhood memories of Montreal, dreams of her mother's towering absence, long distance calls with her father, street politics and the joys of children, Bread and Salt, what you bring for luck to a new house, is a joyous affirmation of vision and courage in hard times. "The intensity, care and wit that Renee Rodin brought to years of cultural and other activisms is now honed into a distinctive voice -- funny, relaxed, passionately intelligent, deeply attentive to reality. Bread and Salt is sustenace and spice, the essentials". -- Stan Persky "Renee works from within a personal, subjective frame that is persistently inclusive of the outside world. That blend is often humourous (in fact hilarious) and occasionally scathing, but always solid with intelligence and integrity". -- Sky Lee |
