Masque & Other Yarns
About this book
Anywhere a story-teller would wander, these stories visit. Kevin Roberts has a clear eye, an open ear for all voices and, fortunately for readers, he allows all characters in the door. He listens when others would turn away & is the first audience for worlds too often ignored. In a time when literature is in danger of becoming slicked by style alone, Kevin understands how true a yarn is, & how our world is recreated every time a new tale is shared. Follow the thread of these yarns - you're in for a treat. A poet, playwright, and fiction writer, Kevin Roberts lives and writes on Vancouver Island. Born and raised in Adelaide, his eye is on both worlds. Bert Almon says, in 'Canadian Literature': "Kevin Roberts has an astonishing range of perception with a powerful rapport with nature and humanity. He suggests there is no certainty - only the ebb and flow of tides natural and human. His work is both grim and humorous, but unsentimental."
