Summary
Bloomsbury presents Fishing the Sloe-Black River by Colum McCann, read by Colum McCann.
An ageing nun is tracked to ground by her sister; a garrulous beautician must lay out the corpse of a loved one.
These are eloquent tales of exile and displacement, of characters always in search of a way back home or of a way to leave it. Mischievous, assured and versatile, Colum McCann's collection of short stories marks him out as one of our best contemporary writers.
Critic reviews
"His stories are the work of a most vivid imagination, perpetually finding new shapes and ways of examining the world." (Sunday Tribune)
"Beautiful.... These well-made stories, written with fierce beauty, are sure of their effect and power." (Washington Post Book World)
