'Sometimes, when the sun flashes on the river at a certain angle, it enables us to see what we have often viewed before but never truly seen. This is a book of such enlightened illumination. Tony Tremblay has done a splendid job in honouring David Adams Richards ... This is a book that all lovers of great literature should possess.' - Alistair MacLeod, Emeritus Professor of English, University of Windsor, and author of No Great Mischief 'David Adams Richards has long deserved a full-length critical response to his remarkable collection of fiction that reveals the complex local currents and universal songlines of lived experience along the Miramichi. Tony Tremblay's astute assessments of Richards and his work join communal and personal histories with incisive readings of major novels. The result underlines the depth and generosity of this great artist's creative vision and the ultimately redemptive journeys of his often troubled but always courageous characters.' - J.A. Wainwright, McCulloch Emeritus Professor in English, Dalhousie University ‘David Adams Richards of Miramichi is an exhaustive work of scholarship… For anybody interested in Richard’s work or in Maritime literature, this is an indispensable book. Its examination of the impact of Richard’s life and his Miramichi background on his work provides an invaluable foundation for critical examination of Richard’s fiction.’ - Herb Wyile (The Dalhousie Review Autumn 2010)
