Morwyn Brebner: Hey 45
Publisher's Description
“I think that writing comes from
a desire to complete some kind
of emotional circuit; or making
something gives you a sense of
emotional completion,” celebrated
Canadian playwright Morwyn
Brebner told Toronto Life in 2005.
“You look around the world and
you feel like you’re not represented.
You see things a certain way and
you have a drive to be known—
to hide and to be known at the
same time. And I think writing
fiction is about that, because you
can be incredibly confessional and
still make things up, and nobody
knows which is which. You can
reveal yourself while hiding
behind the guise of fiction.”
Brebner’s newest work of fiction
fulfills this condition exactly.
Hey 45 is a hybrid book that pairs
her captivating novella with found
photographs of high-school
sports, taken from the Middletown
Press, a Connecticut newspaper.
These photos obliquely illustrate
Brebner’s funny and moving tale
of family, adolescence and shame.
