I was initially put off Iain Crichton Smith by my husband's dire warnings about Remember the Lilies but was glad I read this in the end ( ) All interesting stories that emphasize among other things, the losses of a once well-knit community (for the most part those of the Highlands or Western Isles), the pain of the scape-goat and the limits that low social value impose on individual lives. For all that, on occasion an affirmation of life often redeems a situation, but Smith writes of a world where one's self-validity is at risk in an unsettled and banal world. Well worth reading. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
This collection of the best of Iain Crichton Smith's short fiction brings together not one but many voices, both public and private. Ranging from inner promptings towards self-discovery, through the unconscious comedy of everyday speech, to the rantings of near madness, these stories display the peaks of Smith's wry, surrealistic humour, and his confessional mode in re-telling the past. The longer stories, illustrative of Smith's novels, are represented by 'Murdo' and the seminal 'The Black and the Red'. There are also outstanding short pieces such as 'Listen to the Voice' and the poignant vignette, 'The Dying'. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
