pickThis is a terrifically fast read. Van Camp‘s writing is direct and uncomplicated but rich all at the same time. These stories range from those that feel highly personal to others that should be optioned by Netflix if they aren‘t already. Needless to say with this type of range there is really something for everyone, and hardly just to be regulated to the YA category.
pickThis is my NWT book for #ReadCanada
I really enjoyed these short stories, especially for the oral storytelling tone that was a common thread. I also appreciated the specfic elements in some of the stories. My first time reading Richard Van Camp, but I will definitely read more of his work.
He hunts, he traps, he‘s a wildlife officer, right? He goes after the poachers. Anyone who wastes meat—holy man, good luck. You‘ll wake up with a pillow over your face at 4 in the morning with a shotgun pressing your nose. No, it‘s not that bad, but he‘s tough as they come.
[I love the way Van Camp captures oral storytelling speech patterns in his prose.]
Richard Van Camp wore stormtrooper moccasins today. 👍
