The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
A literary treasure whose every book (thirteen, counting the newest), starting with This House of Sky in 1978, has had a prominent place on Elliott Bay shelves, and in Elliott Bay readers' hands, Ivan Doig makes this first appearance in our new Capitol Hill home for his delightful new novel, Work Song (Riverhead). This is 26 years after he read as part of our first little series in the Pioneer Square basement space that held sway until this spring's move. Not to dawdle on the past, as Ivan Doig is one of those who keeps at it, working ground both familiar and freshly new. "Doig affectionately revisits Morris 'Morrie' Morgan from the much-heralded The Whistling Season. Now, 10 years later, in 1919, Morrie lands in Butte, Mont., beholding the area's natural beauty that 'made a person look twice' ... Charismatic dialogue and charming, homespun characterization make Doig's latest another surefire winner." - Publishers Weekly. "More atmospheric, pleasingly old-fashioned storytelling from Doig, whose ear for the way people spoke and thought in times gone by is as faultless as ever." - Kirkus Reviews.
