About the book
"Sinclair Ross (1908-1996), best known for his canonical novel As for Me and My House (1941) and for such familiar short stories as 'The Lamp at Noon' and 'The Painted Door, ' is an elusive figure in Canadian literature. A master at portraying the hardships and harsh beauty of the Prairies during the Great Depression, Ross nevertheless received only modest attention from the public during his lifetime. His reluctance to give readings or interviews further contributed to this faint public perception of the man." "In As for Sinclair Ross, David Stouck tells the story of a lonely childhood in Saskatchewan, of a long and unrewarding career in a bank, and of many failed attempts to be published and to find an audience. The book also tells the story of a man who fell in love with both men and women and who wrote from a position outside any single definition of gender and sexuality."--Jacket.
