This is just a short but important note in relation to this book which I have read in the last year.
It simply contains the best writing I have read in the last year.
I was devastated to learn he (MacLeod) had recently died. It's like this has taken one of the top runners out of the Best Writing in The World Marathon out of contention. There is a novel. I am saving it for Christmas. If you have not read these stories please put them on your list. They are one of life's secret and ever giving rewards.
I am a writer and I would diminish this wonderful writing by attempting to find superlatives worthy of his text.
Many try. He succeeds. He takes off and flies with you in a way that makes you never want to land.
One of the few who will truly stay with you.
