Anotace knihy

Keep on Working is Jim Christy's testament to work. The last of a disappearing breed, the working class writer, Jim Christy is a careful practitioner of the narrative art, portraying real people experiencing real life. So many authors emerge from academia ordained as professional writers without accumulating the life experience and contact with people and ideas gained through work. A gardener, sculptor and sometime spoken word performer, Christy has published poetry, novels, short stories, memoirs, biographies, and articles and essays on a range of interests. Christy supplements his creative impulse with occasional jobs, work that gives him the freedom to express his artistry and exposure to diverse characters and situations. A natural storyteller with an ear for nuance and ambiance, he has been described as a 'Literary vagabond,' for his travel to exotic locales. While not an academic, his erudition is evident throughout his over thirty books. No matter the subject, Christy's primary concern is the human heart endlessly beating beneath the skin and the blood that flows through every soul. With Keep on Working Christy has approached the core of what gives meaning to countless ordinary people, the work they do in the world. There are small epiphanies on every page of Keep on Working.

He (Christy) should be some kind of folk hero or icon."

- Vancouver Sun, August 02, 2019

"You remind me of Malraux."

- Charles Bukowski

"

"Christy is a wild Steelhead in a Canadian literary seascape choked with schools of writers spawned in university creative writing departments operating like fish farms.... His poetry is like a cross between Catullus and a country and western song."

- John Moore, SUBterrain Magazine.

"The last unpurged North American anarchist romantic. Bakunin bless him!"
