His arts reviews have appeared in Maclean's,[2] The Globe and Mail,[3] the National Post and on CBC Radio. Bemrose was born and raised in Paris, Ontario,[4] where his father, Fred Bemrose, a 2009 recipient of the Lieutenant Governor's Award for Lifetime Achievement, remains the town historian. He graduated from the Victoria University in the University of Toronto in 1970, where he published early poems in Acta Victoriana.[5][6] His debut novel, The Island Walkers, was published in 2003.[7] It was a nominee for that year's Giller Prize.[8] and well as making the longlist for the Man Booker Prize. He has also published a play, Mother Moon, and two volumes of poetry. His second novel, The Last Woman, was published in 2009 by McClelland & Stewart. It is set in Ontario's cottage country and is being touted by its publisher as a vehicle for the vivid characterizations for which he's become known. ReviewsThe Times Literary Supplement said in a review of The Island Walkers: "Bemrose’s characters […] live as real people live: contradictory, capable of kindness and disdain, of near-simultaneous love and hate, of gross betrayal…." Set in Northern Ontario, The Last Woman takes place in the summer of 1986 as the province is suffering its way through a drought that drains the water from rivers and lakes. "New reefs have surfaced," the reader is told, "while in remote bays floating carpets of lily and arrowhead have given way to flats of dry mud."[9] References1. ^http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/b/john-bemrose/ {{BLP sources|date=March 2010}}{{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Bemrose, John}}{{Canada-poet-stub}}2. ^http://ca.search.yahoo.com/search?p=John+Bemrose+&fr=yscpb&vs=macleans.ca 3. ^https://www.theglobeandmail.com/site-search/?q=John+Bemrose&x=28&y=7 4. ^http://us.macmillan.com/author/johnbemrose 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.vicu.utoronto.ca/alumni/AVC.htm |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2010-05-25 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100806152458/http://www.vicu.utoronto.ca/alumni/AVC.htm |archivedate=2010-08-06 |df= }}> 6. ^http://actavictoriana.ca 7. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.randomhouse.ca/readmag/volume4issue2/features/childhood.htm |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2010-03-21 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080530114152/http://www.randomhouse.ca/readmag/volume4issue2/features/childhood.htm |archivedate=2008-05-30 |df= }} 8. ^http://www.readings.org/?q=node/2592 9. ^[https://www.theglobeandmail.com/books/review-the-last-woman-by-john-bemrose/article1326493/ "Familiar territory", The Globe and Mail, Steven Hayward, Friday, Oct. 16, 2009] 14 : 21st-century Canadian poets|21st-century Canadian novelists|21st-century Canadian dramatists and playwrights|Canadian male novelists|Journalists from Ontario|Writers from Toronto|Living people|People from the County of Brant|Canadian male poets|Canadian male dramatists and playwrights|Maclean's writers and editors|Year of birth missing (living people)|21st-century Canadian male writers|Canadian male non-fiction writers |
