'Everyone who met him commented on the arresting power of
Lawrence's bright and sharp blue eyes, and the beard he later grew
would be as red as a fox's brush, but it was not his appearance
that Ford was describing. It was his menace' Frances Wilson, from
her Introduction to The Man Who Loves Islands
------------------------------------------------ The Man Who Loved
Islands presents Lawrence's skilled, intimate and lively portraits
of humanity. In the title story a man buys a ninety-nine year lease
on an island and finds himself cast off in its timeless world; in
'The Last Laugh' a couple are confronted with uncanny spectral
visions, and an eerie faceless laugh; in 'The Fox' two women
maintaining a farm feel the dark shadows of war, and a cunning
creature threatens to destroy their livelihood. The stories in this
collection are about what the characters know and do not know -
about themselves, one another, and the circumambient universe.
