5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional, lovingly crafted, accurate
In each of the stories, believable characters tell their stories in a manner which is a joy to read (and re-read).
McCann really knows how to get the reader's emotions running high through the lovingly crafted words and painstakingly described thoughts of his characters.

2.0 out of 5 stars So what
a whole lot of attention for this young writer, but I don't see the goods ... a real bore

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful eclectic collection, February 19, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Fishing the Sloe-Black River: Stories (Hardcover)
This is one of the most magnificent collections of short stories I have ever read. Disarmingly provocative and true. The final story Cathal's Lake is truly a classic in contemporary literature about Northern Ireland. A reading experience I will never forget.
