Saskatchewaners,
By A Customer
This review is from: Things As They Are? (Hardcover)
Guy Vanderhaeghe's short stories are better than his novels, and this collection is the best of them. Quiet as a shady grove, this collection follows on Sinclair Ross' tone, and is marginally less depressing.

Captivating stories,
By Book Club Mum "Book Club Raver" (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Things as they Are? (Paperback)
Guy Vanderhaege's characters voices live on in my head after reading this book. I still chuckle at the heated conversation between an old, proud man and a young punk wearing the fashion of the pants hanging down.Each story captures the drama and the pain of life, from youth to old age. Guy knows how to buid up the scene and then break your heart with such bitter sweetness. One minute you are laughing and the next you are holding your breath at the pain or pathos. There are brilliant descriptions. My favourite was of the teacher who looked like Sitting Bull with a perm. I did not want to finish reading such a crafted collection. |
