Title: Action, please
Review: I once loved Gunn's novels so much I would read them like a prayer book. They were borrowed from a Scottish friend. So I ordered them all. Alas, I no longer want to read 20 pages of a salmon's progress and a boy watching it. The folk are now folkloric to me, not noble beings. The prose is more like poetry. This is not a bad thing. Maybe it is the mark of the times - I only know that I do not want to read a book with virtually no action, no dialogue, and a valorization of the lower class gathered at river's shores. So sad.
