She received a B.A. from Smith College in 1957 and a M.A. in English from the University of British Columbia in 1963 where she worked towards a Ph.D. in Anglo-Saxon language and literature. Thomas married sculptor and art teacher, Ian Thomas whom she met during a year abroad at St. Andrew's University in Scotland. They immigrated to Canada in 1959, settled in British Columbia, and had three daughters. The Thomases lived for two years in Ghana where Ian Thomas taught from 1964 to 1966. Following her return to Vancouver, Audrey Thomas published her first collection of stories, "Ten Green Bottles" (1967), and then several novels: "Mrs. Blood" (1970), "Songs My Mother Taught Me" (1973), "Latakia" (1979), and "Real Mothers" (1981), a collection of stories. In her work, Thomas experiments with narrative method and use of language to depict women's sense of emotional alienation, struggling with the dark side of the self, or hovering on the verge of disintegration. Thomas received the Marian Engel Award in 1987 and the Canada-Australia Literary Prize in 1990. She has won the B.C. Book Prize for fiction three times: for her novel "Intertidal Life" (1985), the short story collection "Wild Blue Yonder" (1991), and most recently for the novel "Coming down from Wa" (1995). She was nominated for the Governor General's Literary Award and Commonwealth Literature Prize in 1996. Thomas has taught creative writing at the University of Victoria and at the University of British Columbia and has been writer-in-residence at Concordia University, at Simon Fraser University, among others. Thomas lives on Galiano Island, British Columbia.Additional information:Physical description note:Includes: 78 photographs, 4 strips of photographic negative, 1 sheet of contact prints, 2 slides, 5 audio cassettes, 9 posters, postcards and 2 computer disks.Restrictions on access note:Some restrictions on consultation.
