Buch
Softcover. Zustand: Good. The Colony of Unrequited Dreams, a Canadian bestseller, is a novel about Newfoundland that centres on the story of Joe Smallwood, the true-life controversial political figure who ushered the island through confederation with Canada and became its first premier. Narrated from Smallwood's perspective, it voices a deep longing on the part of the Newfoundlander to do something significant, commensurate with the greatness of the land itself. The New York Times said, this prodigious, eventful, character-rich book is a noteworthy achievement: a biting, entertaining and inventive saga. a brilliant and bravura literary performance.Smallwood, born in 1900, is the first of thirteen children raised from the scruff of Newfoundland, as opposed to the quality. The colony is seen as an unworthy and negligible place: as his teacher from England says, The worst of our lot comes over here, inbreeds for several hundred years and the end-product is a hundred thousand Newfoundlanders with Smallwood at the bottom of the barrel.Smallwood, who still weighs only 75 pounds at the age of 20, seems an unlikely hero to fulfil what he sees as his mission: to transform the old lost land, with its lack of identity, into the new found land; and meanwhile to rise not from rags to riches, but from obscurity to world renown. With perseverance and determination, he sets about the task, becoming a journalist for a socialist newspaper in New York and then a union leader, at one point walking the 700-mile railway track across the island to sell memberships to the section-men living in shacks. He sees beyond his unpromising background, the cold and unrelenting hardship and isolation, envisioning a proud and great destiny. Eventually, a politician full of wild moneymaking schemes, he is swept into a world of intrigues and the machinations of the power elite, just as Newfoundland must decide whether to become an independent country or to join Canada.In counterpoint to the earnest endeavours of Smallwood, champion of the poor and the workers, is the Dorothy Parker-like figure of his lifelong friend, Sheilagh Fielding. Their paths first cross at the private school from which Smallwood is expelled, falsely accused of writing a letter critical of the school, and thenceforth their lives are inextricably intertwined. Fielding becomes an acerbic newspaper columnist, a hard drinker with a sharp tongue who shares a strange love-hate relationship with Smallwood. Her cynical columns and personal journals are interspersed among Smallwoods account, along with her irreverent and satirical Condensed History of Newfoundland.In writing a work of the imagination in part inspired by historical events, Johnston wanted to fashion out of the formless infinitude of factsa work of art that would express a felt, emotional truth. Adherence to the facts will not lead you safely through the labyrinthine pathways of the human heart. Johnston was 19 when he met the real Joe Smallwood; he was just starting out as a journalist, and Smallwood was less than complimentary about Johnstons reporting. Although the politician died only in 1991, little was written about his life before the age of fifty, allowing Johnston some license to imagine his formative influences.I wanted to write a big book about Newfoundland in scope and in vision. I couldn't think of a bigger character whose life touched on more themes, involved the whole of Newfoundland more completely than Smallwood did. Smallwood saw Newfoundland in terms of unrealized talent and unfulfilled ambition; his life was somehow emblematic of the land. Moreover, says Johnston, He was so prone to making mistakes and so fallible, and he combines so many contradictions in his personality. His quest, like that of many great literary figures of the past century, is to overcome these divisions. The completely invented character of Fielding, meanwhile, is like me, says Johnston. I share her view of Newfoundland.
