| Matters of Life & Death - main page |
In a book bursting with reasons for praise, MacLaverty's ability to do what Chekhov does is the most praisworthy of all. There is a moral seriousness about much of MacLaverty's writing... This is a book to cherish, and one to read and re-read with pleasure in the skilful craft of its composition. He is a writer who grasps the beautifully mundane detail in which all of us live, no matter the scale of our dramas, and who weaves with these threads a shimmering and meaningful cloth.
