“Let me tell you about Gabriel English. He is a writer. He’s supposed to be writing a novel. Instead, he writes a collection of daily vignettes over a full calendar year. These small windows onto moments follow the evolving passion and anguish Gabriel feels for Lydia Murphy. The vignettes also document the desperate relationships that blossom and fail around him. Gabriel discusses his friends, confesses his failings, copies overheard drunken conversations, declares his dreams, reports gossip, an...d charts the ebb and flow of his love affair with the people and geography of Newfoundland in particular, the port city of St John’s. The result of this daily examination is the book you’re holding. This All Happened is a literary tableau of Newfoundland life, for better or for worse, seen from within. Caveat: This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to people living or dead is intentional and encouraged. Fictional characters and experience come to life when we compare them with the people and places we know.MoreLessRead More Read Less
