Day the Men Went to Town The by Ron Caplan, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Ronald Caplan was looking for strong female writers with ties to Cape Breton, wondering what they were writing. He found the work of Tessie Gillis; her biting portrayal of life on Cape Breton Island inspired him to compile this collection. Many of the writers were not born in Cape Breton, and many of them don’t live there, but all of them have an attachment to the place, whether they’re writing about the place or not. The Day the Men Went to Town is 14 stories about fishers, aliens from space, family life, tragedy in the coal mines and love. This collection features such writers as Lynn Coady, Joan Clark, Jean MacNeil and Erin McNamara. | Day the Men Went to Town The by Ron Caplan, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
