Description
Fields of Wonder brings together some of the finest writing of the last fifteen years from the New Brunswick master craftsman of fiction, Wayne Curtis. In this ambitious collection there are stories about rural life, hardship, overcoming adversity, longing, love and resilience. It is a fictional world of Atlantic Canadian country life gone by, with its tragedy and heartbreak but also tranquility and beauty.
No other writer from this region has been able to articulate the spirit and legacy of his generation quite like Wayne Curtis. As Alistair MacLeod noted of his work, “This is very fine writing. Its closeness to detail vibrates with an honesty which bears witness to lives lived humbly and poignantly. It resonates with truth, and the insights are of a very high order. Wayne Curtis is a splendid writer.”
In his elegant and precise prose, Curtis moves and entertains readers with stories about a variety of memorable characters. In each of these tales, he captures a way of life that he both lived and remembers, and each story exhibits his love of that life and his understanding of the emotions it evokes.
