[EAN: 9780889842199], Neubuch, [PU: Erin, Ontario, Canada: Porcupines Quill], THE PORCUPINE'S QUILL, CLARK BLAISE, CANADIAN FICTION, Biography & Autobiography|General, Fiction|Short Stories (single author), Original printed wraps. 176 pp. Octavo. The stories collected here in Volume One are among the earliest in Blaise’s forty-year publishing career. The experience of Florida — particularly the underdeveloped north-central areas close to modern Disneyfied Orlando — profoundly affected a ‘Yankee’ child with Canadian parents. The Florida Blaise describes is little-changed since the Civil War. The stories in this volume trace a young writer’s journey towards his life’s work. By the close of his Florida experience, he has discovered a way of integrating his Canadian, and especially his French-Canadian, background into a sub-tropical foreground. Included are two very early stories, ‘A Fish Like a Buzzard’ and ‘Giant Turtle, Gliding in the Dark’, which have not previously been published in book form. Southern Stories assembles the best of Clark Blaise’s early work in one collection. His powerful writing is as relevant to our times now as it was when these stories first appeared. Included here are stories from A North American Education, Tribal Justice, Man and His World and Resident Alien. Printed offset by Tim Inkster on the Heidelberg KORD at the printing office of the Porcupine's Quill in the Village of Erin, Wellington County, Ontario, Canada. Smyth sewn into 16-page signatures.<
