Förlagets beskrivning
When the breathing got worse he went into the adjacent room and got the
copy of Dante. All that night and the night before he had been watching the
dying...When a mirror was required to be brought she looked at it, moving her
head restlessly this way and that. He knew that the swelling was a portent of
some kind, a message from the outer darkness, an omen. - The Dying ALTHOUGH
BEST KNOWN as one of Scotland's greatest modern poets, Iain Crichton Smith was
also prolific as a writer of short stories. These pieces form a central part of
his oeuvre, demonstrating the full range and versatility of his literary
talent. From humour to tragedy, from inner monologues to extrovert surrealism,
the diversity of his writing indicates the extraordinary range of his own
reading and mental world. Crichton Smith wrote short stories throughout his
life. Some are fragments, others almost novellas, and the best of them all show
him to be an author of unique sensitivity and intelligence. These two collections, comprising the complete English stories, include
over 45 stories never before published in book form, as well as others that
have been out of print for many years, thus making it possible to judge
Crichton Smith's achievement as a writer in full. Incorporates stories from
Survival Without Error, The Black and the Red and The Village. Although best known as one of Scotland's greatest modern poets, Iain
Crichton Smith was also a prolific writer of short stories. These pieces form a
