Worth recommending?....
Literature! Can't get rid of it, can't live without it... British, American, now came Canadian
Yeap, it's just my luck . But hey , it ain't so bad and I (to my astonishment) can even recomend something woth reading - G. Elliott's 'The Kissing Man' - a set of 11 stories put in a cycle representing Canadian magic realism. It's simply a nice read. Here is a part of an essay by Gerald Lynch (SCL/ÉLC, Volume 22.1:1997) concening the book:
"Thus the eleven stories of The Kissing Man present a vision of Canadian small-town life at mid-century that is stroboscopic and fragmentary in its perception of what is passing and lost, a vision that is uncompromising in its perception of life's pain and tragedy. But the book as a whole, employing to masterful advantage the recursive dynamics of the story cycle, insists fictionally on the reality of a spiritual dimension, a numinous [End Page 90] realm that, when acknowledged and experienced, bestows a sense of continuity and a shared community of pain and evanescent joy."
Here is the whole essay (in case you would... neee you wouldn't ;p)
