Very sadly, short story writer and novelist Alistair MacLeod died yesterday. He was a Professor Emeritus a the University of Windsor, where I did my undergraduate degree, and while I never studied with him directly, he was a warm, vital presence in the department and was always incredibly lovely and supportive. He was a force of nature in Canadian literature and had a profound impact on me as a very young writer. His short story, The Boat, haunts me to this day; its available for free online, and in his memory I share it with all of you. hrsbstaff.ednet.ns.ca/twatson/TheBoat.pdf
