Sheila Watson

SHEILA WATSON, author of the classic novel The Double Hook, was recently featured in a special issue of Open Letter (Third Series # 1), titled Sheila Watson A Collection. It presents a wealth of her previously uncollected writing: short fiction, essays on Wyndham Lewis, Swift and others. When she came to Capilano College last year to read and to talk to some classes, she shared her intelligence and spirit with us generously. Now retired from teaching, Sheila Watson lives in Edmonton and continues to edit White Pelican.
