Bookworks Presents Shelf Awareness for Readers

Our hearts are breaking at the news of Ivan Doig's death on Thursday, April 9. We in the West first discovered Doig with his acclaimed memoir, This House of Sky: Landscapes of a Western Mind; the rest of the country soon followed. Doig defined a time, a place, a people, with crystalline prose and dry, gentle wit. His words could soar. In This House of Sky he wrote, 'The spaces between stars are where the work of the universe is done.' That line--written by a man bewitched by Big Sky country--is breathtaking.

The play, which has been brought across the pond by presenter David Mirvish is about a colony of convicts who are cast in a play by an officer of the navy at the urging of his captain.
