The sixteen exquisitely crafted stories in Island prove Alistair MacLeod to be a master. Quietly, precisely, He has created a body of work that is among the greatest to appear in English in the last fifty years. A book-besotted patriarch releases his only son from the obligations of the sea. A father provokes his young son to violence when he reluctantly sells the family horse. A passionate girl who grows up on a nearly deserted island turns into an ever-wistful woman when her one true love is felled by a logging accident. A dying young man listens to his grandmother play the old Gaelic songs on her ancient violin as they both fend off the inevitable. The events that propel MacLeod's stories convince us of the importance of tradition, the beauty of the landscape, and the necessity of memory.

平淡中的内心的暗流涌动
评分《世界文学》2013年第4期,非常好。
评分争取夏天写点什么,部分篇目过于沉溺在cape Breton所代表的历史和宿命氛围里,但是好的篇目真的是会让人无数次地铁坐过站...
评分还行。
评分Reticence. Scot lit 选读的书,值得重读但是由于太沉重了以后算了。。。
