Acclaim for Mel Dagg's fiction:
Dagg demonstrates extraordinary poise...while avoiding the sentimentalization the stories warn against.
Montreal Gazette
A marvel of precision and personal vision.
Alberta Report
Genius when it comes to the art of fiction. I think of Mel as one of the more important voices now at work in Western Canada
Gary Geddes
Artistic poise, the complexity of relationship, the smoothness and delicacy of evocation, the human condition.
Hugh Hood
Wonderful- and clear and clean and focused...way beyond description - it's what writing should do.
Gayla Reid, winner of The Journey Prize and Ethel Wilson Prize
Reverberates in the mind long after the book is closed.
Newest Review
Power to involve us now and move us deeply.
Vancouver Sun
Dagg's primary concern is the human heart, endlessly beating beneath the skin and the good that flows through the soul. He probes deep into the human centred world of his fiction. There are small epiphanies on every page.
