Neil Bissoondath Digging Up the Mountains: Selected Stories (MacMillan Paperbacks)
Macmillan Publishing Company 1986 0771592469 / 9780771592461 Paperback Like New
"Paperback, Like New, clean, tight, unmarked, no spine or cover creases. (Near Fine), edge wear to the cover.() In the grim stories of Neil Bissoondath's Digging Up the Mountains, the personal is political and the political is usually explosive. Raised in Trinidad, Bissoondath has lived his adult life in Canada, and these two places are the poles between which most of his fiction shuttles, including the novels A Casual Brutality and The Worlds Within Her. What's most impressive about this early collection is the range of experiences and voices it explores: its protagonists include a Japanese girl, a European doctor wrenched by war from his family, a Canadian student backpacking abroad, a beauty-pageant contestant, and a white woman teaching boys at an island school.

Neil Bissoondath Doing the Heart Good
Cormorant Books 2002 189695135X / 9781896951355 Hardcover Very Good
"clean, tight, has a remainder mark on the bottom of the spine pages, spine has no reading creases, some light cover edge handling. Some light page handling and some minor rubbing. Nice clean unread copy.() An affecting reflection upon the life of an aged academic, from one of Canada's foremost literary talents. The burning down of his house propels Alistair, now living with his daughter, her husband and child, to reflect on the causes and effects of life: how momentary impulses change the course of direction, how unexpected horrors still haunt him, how friendship can be nurtured as well as starved, how love sustains, how hatred destroys and how, in a ramshackle way, it all makes a peculiar, and rather moving, sort of sense. This is a writer at the very apex of his art, understated, calm, totally in control of his craft. ID: mon0000103269"
