About Darlene Madott:
"A Toronto-based lawyer who practised for over
three decades, I have authored nine books, including Winners and Losers (GUERNICA, 2021), Dying Times (EXILE, 2021), Making Olives and
Other Family Secrets (Ripasso) (LONGBRIDGE BOOKS, 2014), Stations of the Heart
(EXILE, 2012), and Joy, Joy, Why Do I
Sing? (WOMEN’S PRESS, 2004). I have twice won the Bressani
Literary Award and have been shortlisted for the Gloria Vanderbilt sponsored
Carter V. Cooper Short Fiction Award three times, as well as being a frequent
finalist in Accenti Magazine
competitions. My short fiction has been widely anthologized, including
anthologies arising out of the International Conferences of the Short Story in
English, alongside internationally acclaimed authors. Author Guy Vanderhaeghe described my short
stories as “haunting meditations by a fine artist blessed with a scrupulous
intelligence.” Caterina Edwards:
“Madott’s short stories remind me of why I love the genre. They need to be read
and reread. So many left me breathless in admiration.” My fiction has also been
translated and published into Italian. For more about me and my books, kindly
