Media reviews

“An enigmatic and moving novel.…”
–Globe and Mail

“[Bines is] one of the great creations of Canadian literature.…[Richards’] work has a touch of greatness, yielding up reminders, sharp as woodsmoke on an autumn evening, of both the pity and the glory of being human.”
–Maclean’s

“There are few writers anywhere, and certainly none in Canada, who write with the raw power that Richards summons up.…”
–Now

“[His stories] soar with a beauty that breaks your heart.”
–Kitchener-Waterloo Record
