}}Eden Victoria Lena Robinson (born 19 January 1968) is an award-winning Aboriginal Canadian author. She is a member of the Haisla and Heiltsuk First Nations.[1]

Life

Childhood

Born in Kitamaat, British Columbia, she is a member of the Haisla and Heiltsuk First Nations.[1] Her sister, Carla Robinson, is a television journalist for CBC Newsworld.

Education

She received a BA from the University of Victoria and an MFA from the University of British Columbia.[3]

Literary works

Robinson's first book, Traplines (1995), was a collection of four short stories. The young narrators recount haunting tales of their disturbing relationships with sociopaths and psychopaths. The collection won Britain's Winifred Holtby Memorial Prize for the best regional work by a Commonwealth writer.[2] One of the stories, "Queen of the North", was also published in The Penguin Anthology of Stories by Canadian Women. Another of her short stories, "Terminal Avenue", (which was not included in Traplines) was published in the anthology of postcolonial science fiction and fantasy So Long Been Dreaming.

Her second book, Monkey Beach (2000), is a novel. It is set in Kitamaat territory and follows a teenage girl's search for answers to and understanding of her younger brother's disappearance at sea while in the retrospective, it tells a story about growing up on a Haisla reserve. The book is both a mystery and a spiritual journey, combining contemporary realism with Haisla mysticism. Monkey Beach was shortlisted for the Scotiabank Giller Prize[3] and the Governor General's Literary Award,[4] and received the Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize.[5]

In her third book, Blood Sports (2006), also a novel, Robinson returns to the characters and urban terrain of her novella "Contact Sports," from Traplines.

Her novel Son of a Trickster (2017) is a humorous coming of age novel and the first of a trilogy.[4] It took Robinson eight years to write, and was originally conceived as a short story.[6] The second book in the trilogy is Trickster Drift (2018).

Awards and honours

She won the Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize in 2001 for Monkey Beach, and the Writers' Trust Engel/Findley Award in 2016 for her body of work.[7] In 2017 she was named a recipient of the $50,000 Writers' Trust Fellowship.[8]

Her novel Son of a Trickster was shortlisted for the 2017 Scotiabank Giller Prize.[9]
