Marie Moser
Template:Short description Marie Moser (born 1948) is a Canadian novelist and short-story writer residing in Edmonton, Alberta.[1]
Moser is best known for her 1987 novel Counterpoint, which won her the eighth New Alberta Novel Competition in 1986,[2] and a prize of $4,000 given by Alberta Culture and Irwin Publishers.[3] Although it was originally published in English (Irwin, 1987), it has since been published in two editions in the French language (under the title Courtepointe) (Éditions Québec/Amérique, 1991 and Edition du Club Québec loisirs, 1991). Counterpoint is a story of three generations of French Canadian women and the manner in which their lives interweave in imperceptible and yet intrinsic ways.[2] Despite winning an award, Counterpoint also received a negative review in the Toronto Star, which said that Moser's first novel lacked "narrative skill".[4]
Moser's short stories have been published in a wide array of collections, magazines, and compendiums, and some have been broadcast on the radio.
