"It was the fabulous summer of 1929 when the literary capital of North America moved to La Rive Gauche--the Left Bank of the Seine River--in Paris. Ernest Hemingway was reading proofs of "A Farewell to Arms," and a few blocks away F. Scott Fitzgerald was struggling with "Tender Is the Night." As his first published book rose to fame in New York, Morley Callaghan arrived in Paris to share the felicities of literary life, not just with his ..."

"Throughout the Great Depression, Callaghan provided for himself and his family by writing short stories, which Ernest Hemingway compared to James Joyce. Of the more than 100 short stories that Morley Callaghan published, 21 appeared in "The New Yorker "over a period of 10 years. Those tales find new life in this reprint of a classic short story collection."
"Set in the early 1950s in Montreal, this is the story of enigmatic Peggy Sandersona woman who has become a socially awkward presence due to her open and casual association with black musicians in Lower Town nightclubs. White and black men assume she must be involved sexually with the musicians, white women are perplexed by her, and black women both fear and loathe her. Yet Peggy’s almost guileless sense of ease is at complete variance ..."

Throughout his time as Pilate’s scribe, he attended Christ’s trial, mingled with city prostitutes and desert bandits, and became acquainted with Judas Iscariot. It was through Judas that he learned the real story of the betrayal and what actually happened to Ch ..."

"Morley Callaghan's first mature novel was Such Is My Beloved, which represents the beginning of the string of moral novels (including They Shall Inherit the Earth and More Joy in Heaven) that have remained the most readable of his work. All of these titles present social and moral quandaries from an overtly Catholic perspective, avoiding didacticism and political tub-thumping in favour of subtle, compassionate presentation. Such Is My B ..."
"A story of a boy and his dog and their adventures, which will appeal to the many children who are dog lovers. It is also a sensitive story of love and loss, and of making a new life for oneself. Although it was first published seventy years ago, only a few details (such as clothing) really indicate that it is not a contemporary story. Luke is not yet 12 when his father dies of a heart attack, leaving him an orphan. Small for his age and ..."

"They Shall Inherit the Earth is among the most ambitious of Morley Callaghan's early novels. Its concerns are vast: Callaghan attempts, through a few entirely ordinary characters, to encapsulate as many of the crises of Depression-era Canada as he can, from economic hard times to religious doubt and familial collapse. Callaghan's protagonist, Michael Aikenhead, is the unemployed and estranged son of Andrew Aikenhead, a wealthy advertisi ..."

Small for his age and something of a loner, Luke goes to live with his Uncle Henry and Aunt Helen in Collingwood on Georgian Bay, where Uncle Henry has a saw mill on the edge of town.
