Deep Salt Water
Langbeschreibung
Literary Nonfiction. Memoir. Biography. Winner of the 2017 KM Hunter Award for Literature. DEEP SALT WATER is a stirring memoir about loss and abortion, expressed through the layering of imagery from the ocean. In detail at once sensual and sophisticated, Apostolides unfurls the emotional experience of a love affair and unwanted pregnancy, the abortion itself, and her re-connection with the man seventeen years later--a rekindling of love which stimulates this gentle attempt to come to terms with the abortion and its consequences. Moving from a place of intense intimacy to an outward focus that engages with the broader world, DEEP SALT WATER discusses abortion in all its complexity, rejecting polarizing rhetoric in favour of the unfathomable truths that women hold in their bodies.
MARIANNE APOSTOLIDES is a recipient of the Chalmers Arts Fellowship, and the author of six books, including three critically-acclaimed titles: Swim, Voluptuous Pleasure (listed among the Top 100 Books of 2012 by Toronto's The Globe and Mail), and Sophrosyne. Marianne lives in Toronto with her two children.
