Title: A rare and beautiful find. Do yourself a favor.
Product review: A book that reveals the major plot point in the first sentence is one of tale-telling, not suspense. Howard Norman's THE BIRD ARTIST contains murder, adultery, flight from the law, loveeven coffee abuse, but the drama is secondary to the poetic rendering of an odd little town in remote Newfoundland. A rare example of the inexhaustibility of the realistic novel, THE BIRD ARTIST is a find for its simplicity, clarity and beauty. Read the book before Redford makes a mediocre film of it
