Cohen, Matt
▪ 2000

      Canadian novelist and short-story writer who was equally at home writing in English and translating from French and created multidimensional works that told of disaffected youths—Korsoniloff (1969) and Johnny Crackle Sings (1971)—and an urgent need to search for one's roots—The Disinherited (1974), The Colours of War (1977), and The Spanish Doctor (1984); after twice earning nominations for the Governor General's Award, for The Sweet Second Summer of Kitty Malone (1979) and Last Seen (1996), Cohen claimed the prize in 1999 for Elizabeth and After (b. Dec. 30, 1942, Montreal, Que.—d. Dec. 2, 1999, Toronto, Ont.).
