Checking Availibility...Description
Essays, stories and poems on the interior lives of bookstores. Nick Thran's volume of essays, stories and poems is a quietly powerful meditation on a life of reading, writing and bookselling. Thran, who returned to bookselling when he moved with his family to Fredericton, NB, captures the rare magic of reading communities. Here, the bookstore itself sits in the middle of an expanding root system, connecting lives, nurturing interests and stoking passions. It is a place for both private daydreaming and the small talk that staves off loneliness. And it is the fertile ground on which so many authors--including Thran--find the courage to write.
About this Author
Reviews
"Thran slides between modes with a skilled, humble curiosity that whets and unfurls anything he turns his attention to. It's a rare and lucky moment when poets like him give us prose like this."
"Every reader will find their own preferred corner, and sections that unexpectedly delight. Like the best of bookstores, If It Gets Quiet Later On, I Will Make a Display, creates its own world, a pocket universe, larger on the inside, and bursting with life."
