David ArnasonReseñas

Overall, a truly enjoyable book. There were a couple selections, that almost made me want to stop reading. But, that's to be expected in a collection of stories... I guess. "Fifty Stories and a Piece of Advise" reminded me of the ramblings of senility. I admit, I didn't get "Do Astronauts Have Sex Fantasies?". But, there were standouts as well; "The Figure Skater", "The Naiads", "In the Garden of the Medicis".

Baldur's Song begins in the Iceland of generations ago and its characters link the past with the present in a story sometimes dreamy, sometimes worldly, and sometimes sad, but always real. The province of Manitoba, especially the Interlake area, plays a significant role in Arnason's tale of an elusive love. A very satisfying read!

Includes "Troble" by Diane Schoemperlen.
