Andrea Barrett is the author of The Voyage of the Narwhal and National Book Award Winner Ship Fever. The lost-and-found terrain of this collection of stories and novellas ranges from the Western Himalayas to an Adirondack village. Acclaimed author Alistair Macleod's collection of 16 stories, Island, won the Pen/Malamud Award. "The genius of his stories is to render his fictional world as timeless," wrote Colm Tóibín. The book balances on memory, landscape and tradition.
