M. A. C. Farrant

I was born in Australia to a wandering mother and a Canadian seafaring father but, luckily, at age five, was settled on Vancouver Island to be raised by my father’s sister. These events are the subject of my memoir, My Turquoise Years (Greystone/Douglas & McIntyre, 2004), and of the piece included in this book — my early training about men and Amazon housewives. I have also published seven books of humorous and satirical short fiction. Writing full-time and occasionally teaching at the University of Victoria, I live near Sidney, B.C.
