Mavis Gallant, short story maven, dies at 91
Mavis Gallant, the celebrated Canadian short story writer who lived and worked for most of her life in Paris, has died, according to her publisher. She was 91.
Considered one of Canada's finest writers of short fiction, Gallant is known for collections such as Montreal Stories, Going Ashore and 1981's Home Truths, which earned her a Governor General's Literary Award.
Many of her stories were published first in The New Yorker magazine, which nurtured her early career long before she was recognized in Canada.
