Mavis Gallant - 11 August 1922 – 18 February 2014


Lauren Elizabeth Stewart,  9

“Unconsciously, everyone under the age of 10 knows everything. Under-ten can come into a room and sense at once everything felt, kept silent, held back in the way of love, hate and desire, though he may not have the right words for such sentiments. It is part of the clairvoyant immunity to hypocrisy we are born with and that vanishes just before puberty.”

The Doctor, Mavis Gallant, The New Yorker, June 20 1977
