Reviews
A rich and expansive novel, comic and erudite, wise and down-to-earth in its depiction of the joys and disappointments in the modern world. The Strangers’ Gallery will confirm Paul Bowdring’s reputation as one of the most insightful, witty, and readable Newfoundland writers of his generation … An alegy for a certain vision of Newfoundland, an examination of the way in which the past, both collective and personal, impinges upon the present, and a meditation on the ways in which we give meaning to our lives.
