Michael Crummey - Hard LightBrick Books 1998 Paperback, 128pp. "In Hard Light, Michael Crummey retells and reinvents his father's stories of outport Newfoundland and the Labrador fishery of a half century ago. Speaking through generations of storytellers, he conjures a world of hard toil and heavy weather, shot through with stoicism, grim humour, endurance, and love. This is writing that is supple and charged with intensity, language that vivifies --- electrifies --- whoever and whatever it describes. "Michael Crummey's lucid, dexterous writing shies away from nothing, gives us the concrete particulars of daily life, the burials and butcheries, the night-time thoughts. He knows this world from the inside. " -- John Steffler.", (ISBN: 9780919626959). Very Good. NZD 13.50 [Appr.: EURO 7 US$ 8.04 | £UK 6 | JP¥ 1187] Book number 1576729is offered by:
