Steven Galloway Biography

Steven Galloway is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on July 13, 1975 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

The novel is set during the siege of Sarajevo in the mid-1990s and explores the dilemmas of ordinary people caught in the crisis. The title references the true story of Vedran Smailović, a cellist who played Albinoni’s Adagio “dressed in evening tails and perching on a fire-scorched chair” every day for 22 days, “always at the same location”, to “honour the 22 people killed by a mortar bomb while they queued for bread at 10 in the morning on May 26, 1992”. The novel follows the lives of three fictional citizens of Sarajevo as they struggle to survive the war, including one who seeks to protect the cellist: “He has said he will do this for twenty-two days. This is the eighth. People see him. The world has seen him. We cannot allow him to be killed.” The novel examines the gentleness found in humanity and the lasting and healing power of art.

Galloway’s debut novel, Finnie Walsh (2000), was nominated for the Amazon.ca/Books in Canada First Novel Award. It was described as “a work about the love of hockey and the way two boys form a bond that carries them through life’s tragedies and trials”. Galloway was recognized for successfully portraying a child’s perspective without “giving a child an adult’s perspective”. The ethnic and economic diversity of the characters had critics describing it as a “truly Canadian book both in content and sensibility”. It was noted that “The style of Galloway’s early literary influences, Farley Mowat and John Irving, is apparent” in this first novel.
