Elizabeth Smart

    27. prosinec 1913 – 4. březen 1986

    Alžbětě Smartové se podařilo vytvořit silný a jedinečný hlas v kanadské literatuře. Její prozaičtí i básničtí díla jsou plná vášně a hluboké introspekce. Známá je především svým autobiografickým románem, který s neuvěřitelnou upřímností a poetickým jazykem zachycuje intenzivní milostný vztah. Smartové próza často osciluje mezi syrovou realitou a snovou vizí, čímž zkoumá složitost lidských emocí a mezilidských vztahů.

    • First published in 1945, Elizabeth Smart's By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept is an enigmatic and nearly indescribable book, a small classic of poetic prose whose author has been compared with Anaïs Nin and Djuna Barnes.

Accompanied in this edition by The Assumption of the Rogues and Rascals, a short novel that may be read as its sequel, By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept has been hailed by critics worldwide as a work of sheer genius.
