Beschreibung:
Jean Marc Ah-Sen was born in East York, Ontario, in 1987. He lives in Toronto with his wife and son and comes from a family of Mauritian winemakers. He is the author of Grand Menteur (Book*hug, 2015), chosen as a top 100 book of 2015 by The Globe and Mail.
Born on the twin backs of torpidity and obsession, In the Beggarly Style of Imitation is a voyage into the mind of one of the Canadian literary underground's most unruly writers. Equal parts tribute to the historical genesis of the novel and the well-trodden subject of love, the exercises of imitation contained in this collection offer a brief survey through the illustrious forms and genres of literary expression: epistolary, aphorism, essay, picaresque, romance and satire culminate in a celebratory brand of fiction that proves with finality that imitation is truly the vilest form of flattery.
