Will: Stories
Autor Shane Neilsonen Limba Engleză Hardback – oct 2013
Will is Shane Neilson’s debut collection of short fiction.
The book ranges from straightforward East Coast depictions of alcoholism and frustrated farming told in dense, lyric prose, to experimental works that play overtly with language and form. In Will, a boy is beaten by his father; another father cares for his epileptic son; an anesthetist addicted to sevoflurane ponders the works of Michael Jackson; Vladimir Nabokov takes a writer-in-residence position at Memorial University of Newfoundland; and World War I poet John McCrae dies. And yes, there is a hockey story.
Individual stories have appeared widely in magazines including Queen’s Quarterly, The Malahat Review, Fiddlehead, Geist, and The Canadian Medical Association Journal, among others.

Recenzii
"Shane Neilson's WILL is bookish, brilliant, and bawdy. Read this book." — Michael Winter
"A certain urgency and ferocity of emotion animate all of Shane Neilson's work" — Steven Heighton
“powerful and incisive … Neilson’s style is dazzling” — Winnipeg Free Press
“humourous and foul-mouthed and tender and uncertain and real . . . its characters stay with you, their vulnerabilities exposing your own, long after the book is finished.” — The Bookshelf
“A certain urgency and ferocity of emotion animate all of Shane Neilson’s work—poetry, fiction, memoir, and criticism—and these stories are no exception. What is new here is the range of the material, from a devastating account of a child’s grand mal seizure to a brilliant dystopic video-game fantasy.” — Steven Heighton
“A terrific collection that, I’m sure, will reward future readings.” — Brian Palmu
“The stories in Will are persuasive evidence that Shane Neilson pays the kind of attention that makes for effective medicine. His potent fiction certainly makes for essential reading.” — Fiction as Rx, Richard Cumyn
