The Lost Salt Gift of Blood

And so my grandmother was just like an avid reader of Canadian literature and And through her, I came to a writer that's extremely important to me named Alistair McLeod, who is a short story writer, educated in America, but wrote a lot about Cape Breton, the place where I grew up.

And I always think about that he has a book called The Lost Salt Gift of Blood.

And it has the version that I had had an introduction.

It's like the Great Canadian Library Edition and introduction by Joyce Carol Oates, who compares his work to the great Southern writers, particularly to Eudora Welty.
