This All Happened
This All Happened: A Fictional Memoir | Michael Winter
1 post | 2 read | 6 to read
The A List edition of Michael Winter’s brilliant fictional memoir, This All Happened depicts one man’s descent from love to fury over a calendar year. Featuring an introduction by Lisa Moore. In this journal-a-clef, we are exposed to the kernel of truth that exists in each day. Told from the viewpoint of Gabriel English, This All Happened opens windows onto a richly textured, fast-paced filmic compilation of daily vignettes over one year. Gabriel’s promises and actions early in the year have their repercussions by the end. Gabriel’s passion for Lydia Murphy leads him into paroxysms of jealousy — but he never abandons his shrewdly witty perspective on the vagaries of modern love.

Another one from my guided study student. This is the book that introduced me to Michael Winter's writing, and the love affair is still going strong over a decade later. It's an experimental novel and a fictional-but-maybe-not-really memoir set among a group of artists and layabouts in St. John's, NFLD. Gabriel English is a nonfunctional adult, and this is his story. By times funny and infuriating, it's a worthy read.
