PAGE 14 â€" WATERLOO CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 6, 1986 Marg Zavaros Chronicle Special The task of chosing Canada‘s best young writers was not an easy one, but last winter, the "45 Below" competition was launched by The Canadian Book Informatio Centre. The three member committee composed of Winniâ€" peg critic Robert Enright, Margaret Atwood, bestâ€"seller author, and Beth Appledoorn of Longhouse Bookstore in Toronto, set out on the arduous task of choosing the top 10 Canadian fiction writers from a list of 53 eligible authors under 45 years of age. 1 W NU OFF EXISTING SALE PRICES In spring they announced the winners: Bharati Mukherjee, Susan Kerslake, Janet Turner Hospital, Aritha Van Herk, Matt Cohen, Sarah Sheard, Guy Vanderhaege, David Adams Richards, Paul Quarrington and Sandra Birdsell. When this selection was made public, it seemed every literary critic, author and reader had something to say about the choices. Everyone had an opinion â€" yeas and nays; were discussed and argued in literary circles.

Atwood and Appledorn refused to discuss their choices but Enright said he felt they had made a list that was fairly representative of the state of Canadian fiction today. Bharati Mukherjee, born in Calcutta and now residing in the United States, is perhaps best known for her ‘"Days and Nights in Calcutta‘"‘ coâ€"authored with husband Clark Blaise. Janet Turner Hospital, born in Australia, is best known for ‘"The Ivory Swing," ‘"The Tiger in the Tiger Pit‘" and "Boderline," all widely acclaimed novels. Aritha Van Herk is from Alberta; her writing has been regarded as expressing abrasive feminist viewpoints in "Judith‘" and ‘"‘The Tent Peg." Still others criticized the selection of Sarah Sheard who has published only one novel, ‘‘Almost Japanese.‘""‘ Some felt the choice of Matt Cohen was a displaced one, due to the fact he is not a "young" writer but an established one in midâ€"career. â€" ALL REMAINING POOL ACCESSORIES 75* OFF Choose from pool covers, pool liners, skimmers, venturi vacs 1 ONLY _ TELECAPTION 20‘ COLOR TV Sears Original Prices 419 SEARS REG.
