Listen to Eleanor Wachtel interview Mavis Gallant on Writers & Company at the CBC’s Paris studio.
At 86, Mavis Gallant’s mind is as quick and engaged as ever. Her memory, like her writing, boasts a remarkable precision, an attention to detail that goes back to her days as a journalist for the Montreal Standard.
Although she maintains her Canadian citizenship, Gallant has lived in Paris since the 1950s. Since then she has published more than 100 stories, most of which first appeared in the New Yorker magazine, where she continues to publish.
