Aritha Van Herk Biography
Aritha Van Herk biography and related resources. Aritha van Herk (born 1954) is a Canadian writer. She was born in Wetaskiwin, near Edmonton, Alberta.
http://www.biographybase.com/biography/Van_Herk_Aritha.html

Extractions: She was born in Wetaskiwin, near Edmonton, Alberta. Her parents and her older brothers and sister had immigrated to Canada from the Netherlands a few years before she was born. She grew up bilingually, speaking English and Dutch. The immigrant experience and the Dutch background have a strong influence on her work. The search for a place that can be called "home" is an important topic in most of her writing. All of her books feature strong women who try to escape the roles that society and their families have assigned them. Aritha van Herk has written eight books, four of which are novels. The other books are rather difficult to categorize, being a mixture of autobiography, literary criticism, history, description of place etc. The author deliberately wants to escape categorization and wants to make it difficult for critics to pidgeonhole her or her books. She published an enormous number of short-stories and critical essays and edited and co-edited numerous books. Her works has been translated into several languages.

SUMMARY After five years buried like a mole amid the decaying maps and manuscripts of an historical institute, Lou is given a welcome field assignment: to catalogue a nineteenth-century library, improbably located in an octagonal house on a remote island in northern Ontario. Eager to reconstruct the estate's curious history, she is unprepared for her discovery that the island has one other inhabitant: a bear. Lou's imagination is soon overtaken by the estate's historical occupants, whose fascination with bear lore becomes her own. Irresistibly, Lou is led along a path of emotional and sexual self-discovery, as she explores the limits of her own animal nature through her bizarre and healing relationship with the bear. A daring and compelling novel, Marian Engel's "Bear" won the Governor General's Award for 1976. "From the Hardcover edition."

http://www.yukonbooks.com/shop/catalog/Places_Far_from_Ellesmere_p_6580.html

Extractions: Places Far from Ellesmere: Internationally acclaimed novelist Aritha van Herk takes geography and fiction and creates of them a geografictione fiction mapped on the lines of geography, geography following the course of fiction. Places Far From Ellesmere is an exploration of memory-maps with destinations that define the fiction of self, that call for the rediscovery of places and their rediscovery of her. Along the way, Places Far From Ellesmere takes new directions in the telling of origins: Tolstoy's enigmatic nineteenth century heroine Anna Karenina steps off the train into the village of the author's youth and into the twentieth century, follows her though her university studies, tracks her adult life under the skies of Alberta and escapes at last into the frozen imagination of Ellesmere Island.
