Items related to Slow Emergencies: A Novel (Vintage International)
Lin has a husband, two daughters, and close friends. But dance is her passion. Inescapably, it imposes itself upon her, until the inevitable moment when she must choose between her family life and the all-consuming world of dance to which she aches to return. Slow Emergencies conveys an irresistible impulse to create, and illustrates the emotional turmoil that ensues for Lin and her family. Nancy Huston, award-winning author of The Mark of the Angel, writes brilliantly here about the passage of time, the body's vulnerability, and the solitude of creative endeavor. What results is a deeply felt novel that offers a disquieting but profoundly moving meditation on just what it means to be an artist.

Review:
"Spare, elegant .... I can think of no other novel that so honestly and deeply explores the experience of the artist." -- Jeffrey Lent, author of In the Fall "A sensitive, sweeping account of the difficulty of reconciling maternal and artistic callings"-Publishers Weekly "A haunting story about an uncommon subject"-Library Journal "One wakes from this novel as from a spell of urgent, slow-motion dreams. . . . Slow Emergencies is full of the elements of enchantment." -- The Washington Post
"Told simply and without pretense. . . . Huston deserves bravos for her portrayal of how motherhood devours the mother."- Book
