Synopsis
In 2002, Norman Levine was awarded the Writers` Trust of Canada Matt Cohen Award: In Celebration of a Writing Life. The award was established to recognize a lifetime of distinguished work by a Canadian writer. It is one of the richest literary awards in Canada. Levine is just the second recipient - Mavis Gallant was the inaugural winner, in 2001. This distinguished Canadian short story writer has been writing since 1952. His work has been anthologized and translated into many different languages. His lean, sharply observed stories strip away life`s outer layers to reveal the pulsing heart beneath. Norman Levine was born in Ottawa in 1923. He served with the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II. He studied at Carleton College and McGill University after the war, and in 1950 - along with several other Canadian writers, including Mordecai Richler and Mavis Gallant - he moved to Europe, eventually settling in St. Ives, Cornwall. Levine is best known as a short story writer. His work is collected in such volumes as I Don`t Want to Know Anyone Too Well (1971), Why Do You Live So Far Away? and Champagne Barn (both 1984), and Something Happened Here (1991). Key Porter published Levine`s By a Frozen River as an original collection under the L&OD imprint in 2000.
