LAMBERT, BETTY  Crossings: A Novel
Vancouver, Pulp Press. 1979, First Paper. (ISBN: 0889780706) Trade Paperback, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Very light rubbing, bumping and shelfwear. Spine straight with a vertical crease that does not affect textblock. Interior tight and unmarked but for author's inscription "To Kate, May 18/79, Betty Lambert." 284 pp. "In 1979 her only novel, Crossings, was published. The book is set in Vancouver and is the story of Vicky, a young woman growing up in the sixties, searching for self-recognition as a writer and as a person. It is also the story of how Vicky, educated, intellectual, comes to love Mik, an uneducated and sometimes violent logger with a tattoo on his chest that says Coffee over one nipple and Cream over the other (you’re supposed to ask, Where’s the sugar?). The novel searches deep into a woman’s psyche and soul to discover why and how we love the men we do. The book caused a feminist furor. A prominent feminist bookstore in Toronto advocated buying it and an equally prominent feminist bookstore in Vancouver banned it from its shelves. After the publication of Crossings Betty began writing her most powerful and universal plays, such as Grasshopper Hill, which won the ACTRA Nellie award in 1980 for best radio drama, and Jennie's Story, which was nominated for the Governor General’s award in 1983, for best stage play.". Very Good/No Jacket as Issued. Inscribed By Author.
