Hugh Garner (February 22, 1913 – June 30, 1979) was a British-born Canadian novelist .
Biography [ edit ]
Early life [ edit ]
Hugh Garner was born on February 22, 1913, in Batley, Yorkshire , England. He came to Canada in 1919 with his parents, and was raised in Toronto , Ontario where he attended Danforth Technical High School .[1]
During the Great Depression , he rode the rails in both Canada and the United States, and then joined the International Brigades in the Spanish Civil War .[1] World War II he served in the Royal Canadian Navy .
Following the war, Garner concentrated on his writing. He published his first novel, Storm Below , in 1949. Garner's most famous novel, Cabbagetown , depicted life in the Toronto neighbourhood of Cabbagetown , then Canada's most famous slum , during the Depression. It was published in abridged form in 1950, and in an expanded edition in 1968. The Intruders , a sequel depicting the gentrification of the neighbourhood, was published in 1976.
Later in his career, he concentrated on mystery novels, including Death in Don Mills (1975) and Murder Has Your Number (1978).
His background (poor, urban, Protestant ) is rare for a Canadian writer of his time. It is nevertheless, the foundation for his writing. His theme is working-class Ontario; the realistic novel his preferred genre. Cabbagetown is the best-known example of his style. His focus on the victimization of the worker reflects his socialist roots.[2]
In 1963, he won the Governor General's Award for his collection of short stories entitled Hugh Garner's Best Stories. Garner struggled much of his life with alcoholism , and died in 1979 of alcohol-related illness.[1] A housing cooperative in Cabbagetown is named in his memory.
He died on June 30, 1979.
