Island:
The Complete Stories by Alistair MacLeod
The collection of MacLeod’s short stories is set mainly in
the Cape Breton area of Nova Scotia. His writing is so evocative you can’t help
feeling these are real people—and real animals. Like his great novel, “No Great
Mischief,” it is full of the sadness and joy of living. Often his characters
speak in the Gaelic of the Scotland their ancestors came from. (He mostly
translates.) If he wrote copy for cereal
boxes, I would read it. I’m giving two copies as Christmas gifts. I regret that
he is gone now, so there will be no more of these wonderful stories. Moren
Taign, Alistair. I highly recommend this collection.
