Tight spine clean pages. 291 pages. From Publishers Weekly In this spare unassuming yet affecting memoir MacDonald describes his lifelong fascination and flirtation with life in the central Canadian wilderness an area known as "the Shield." MacDonald discovered the region as a boy at his family's summer cottage north of Winnipeg and he later dropped out of graduate school just shy of a master's in English packed a beat-up van and wound up at a remote fishing town that would serve as a periodic base for years to come. He infuses his lyrical descriptions with overviews of the Shield's social and natural history and it's evident that the wide-eyed connection to the place he first felt when he was younger has hardly dissipated. While MacDonald's reverence is profound and genuine it's not overstated. Instead MacDonald keeps his imagery vibrant without overdoing it describing 50-pound trout for instance as "ancient brutes with hooked jaws battered heads and the blank stone gaze of a pagan idol." Likewise he outlines the array of characters with whom he comes into contact without romanticizing them from the locals with their names on the barstools to the ex-con who showed up one day and started helping him build his houseboat for lack of anything better to do. This is a tranquil pleasant reflection on the austere beauty of nature and on life's many different paths. Copyright Reed Business Information a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
