Recenzii
"We count on writers to show the remarkable in the ordinary, to enable us to see anew what has become familiar. David Elias has done just that in The Truth About the Barn. Never will we look at a barn in the same way again." —Marjorie Anderson, editor of the national bestselling Dropped Threads anthologies
“At times tender, sometimes angry, always aware, Elias writes about the pain and humour and beauty of what happens in the barn, and what we dream of it.” —Dennis Cooley, Author of Correction Line
“Written with something of a stream-of-consciousness approach, the book engagingly drifts from one folksy rumination to the next…It’s as if you’re overhearing farmers chatting at the local feed store, and you’re not too surprised when you discover they all have PhDs.” —Kelvin Browne, Literary Review of Canada
"It’s a delightful book — funny, informative and full of the author’s very obvious affection for the buildings and the animals that live in them." —Winnipeg Free Press
“An inherently fascinating and impressively informative read [that] is enhanced with the occasional black-and- white illustration” —Midwest Book Review
