terested in much besides
making. sure’ everything
“looks right.””

.The layout’ of

can’t explain why. “It either
feels right.or it doesn’t.”

"She acknowledges few
landscape artists work on
such a large scale, but at-

the fact.

“It just seems easier to

said. “It's a natural thing

for me.”

. Born on a farm near
‘Dnily, Sask., Knowles was
the only girl of four
children. ©
female cousins painted, so
Knowles took it up as a
hobby.

It. was never intended to
be a career, After high

University of Saskatchewan
and studied to be a
laboratory technician.

_convinced Knowles to join

her at Emma’ Lake, where
the university held summer
“courses in art.

“I was hooked,"’ she said.
“| never expected to make

She .began to study
seriously, first at the Banff
School of Fine Arts and
at the Goldsmith

-Knowles said commercial
success for Canadian artists

years. “Art has suddenly
become sought after, I don’t
know why.” .

One story, translated
from ‘the Spanish, runs
seven pages and is com-
posed of one sentence, in
subordinate clauses.

It's one of the favorites of
editor Alberto Manguel who
thrilled to its first lines and
to ‘the happiness of the last
50 words, that rounded up
the story like a symphonic
finale.”

Argentine-born Manguel,
35, who now lives in Toronto
teaching at York Univer-
sity, has inctuded the one-

Literature. Not many of the

-stories have as satisfactory

an ending as Denevi’s tale.

But for the reader who
delights im the rather foggy
ending, the mystery that
lies just beyond com-
prehension, this anthology
of 72 stories, published by
Lester and Orpen Dennys
and running 967 pages, isa
‘bargain’ at: $12.95.
