About this listen
Bloomsbury presents Fishing the Sloe-Black River written and read by Colum McCann.
‘A gifted and determined stylist, Colum McCann seems to have taken a vow never to write a dull line’ New York Times Book Review
'Orwell would have been proud to journey with a writer as good as Colum McCann' Irish Sunday Independent
______________________
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)
