STARLIGHT

Richard Wagamese. STARLIGHT. M & S, 2018. 

An unfinished novel by the late Richard Wagamese. This is one of those books that you do not want to end, because you do not want to leave that place, and because you wish to hold off the intrusion of evil for as long as you possibly can. The way the publisher has chosen to finish the story makes it seem very modern, allowing the reader to participate, to choose, using biography and creative non-fiction as source material to add to the existing infrastructure. I also enjoy the poetic musings on nature and on art (Frank Starlight is a photographer.)
