\nRobinson’s first collection of stories, Traplines<\/a>, won the Winifred Holtby Prize for the best first work of fiction by a Commonwealth writer and was a New York Times Editor\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Choice and Notable Book of the Year. Her first novel, Monkey Beach<\/a>, won the B.C. Book Prize for Fiction, was a finalist for the 2000 Giller Prize and the Governor General’s Award and was longlisted for the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award. Her latest work of fiction, the Canadian best-seller Blood Sports <\/a>(2006), has been described as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153A gripping page-turner of a tale that should have Quentin Tarantino knocking down her door.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\n<\/p>\n

\nWrites The National Post, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Eden Robinson writes with the violent beauty of a seasoned knifefighter\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6She writes with a cool economy, a parsed precision; no wasted words, no wasted motion. In her hands, language is a weapon that can leave you bleeding, unsure of just how you were cut.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\n<\/p>\n

\nEden Robinson’s visit to the University of Vermont is co-sponsored by the University of Vermont’s Department of English, Canadian Studies Program, Global Village Residential Learning Community, and The James and Mary Brigham Buckham Fund.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
