Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Hodgins, Jack, 1938- : Hodgins was born in 1938 and raised in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, whose landscape and people form the basis for his fictional settings and characters. He attended Earle Birney's creative-writing workshop while a Bachelor of Education student at the University of British Columbia. He continued to write evenings and weekends while teaching English to secondary-school students in the Nanaimo district between 196l and 1979. A writer and teacher, Hodgins is in demand to edit anthologies and writing texts. These include "Voice and Vision" (1972), "The West Coast Experience" (1976), "Teaching Short Fiction" (1978), and "A Passion for Narrative: A Guide for Writing Fiction" (1994). He has been a writer-in-residence at Simon Fraser University and the University of Ottawa, and taught fiction in the Department of Writing at the University of Victoria.

The publication of "Spit Delaney's Island" (1976), a collection of short stories, was followed by two successful novels: "The Invention of the World" (1977), and "The Resurrection of Joseph Bourne" (1979), which won a Governor General's Literary Award for fiction. Other titles include "Left behind in Squabble Bay" (1988), "The Honorary Patron" (1990), "Innocent Cities" (1990), "Over Forty in Broken Hill" (1992) and "The Macken Charm" (1995). Hodgins received the Gibson First Novel award, the Eaton's BC Books Award, and the Canada-Australia Award. His works have been translated into Japanese, Norwegian, Dutch, Hungarian, Russian and Italian. His recent novel, "Broken Ground" (1998), depicts the struggles of the settlers to break ground on land given to First World War veterans on Vancouver Island.
