Felt
Autor Mark Blagraveen Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 aug 2024
- A small Maritime town provides the locale and the loom on which the shared (and contested) memories of three generations of an artistic family are woven, unraveled, and rewoven.
- Drawing on both classical and medieval theories about the interdependence of memory and concepts such as Memory Olympics, Felt explores the how visual and performance arts can act as a catalyst for memory, and their roles in familial dynamics and with Alzheimer’s disease.
- As readers follow three generations of a family in Southern New Brunswick, they experience Maritime living through the eyes of a Norwegian immigrant and labourer, her daughter, and her grandson who returns home from Toronto.
- Mark Blagrave’s writing is often a love letter to the Maritimes, and his novels have been critically acclaimed with recognition from the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize and the Dublin Literary Awards.
- The author garnered incredibly positive reviews and press from the Maritime media, and we plan to follow this trend as he is based in New Brunswick.
- Indie bookstore tour in the region.

Recenzii
“This is a beautiful book, moving, thought-provoking, sometimes funny and curiously reassuring about the inevitable, inescapable, always messy course of life.”
“Felt serves as a poignant reminder of how elusive memories can become with the ravages of time.”
“Felt is a heartfelt paean to memory and the vagaries of time.”
“Blagrave’s characters are sharply drawn, individualized and achingly flawed, and his richly nuanced prose brings the historic Saint Andrews setting alive on the page. … Mark Blagrave weaves past and present together into a moving and memorable tapestry.”
“Deftly spanning three generations of the Reade family in Charlotte County, Felt considers how we remember our past selves, the importance of place, and how art and family ties are defined by recollection and forgetting. … Felt, like all of Blagrave’s novels to date, is a text worth looking over more than once.”
