"One could do worse than to grow up on a river." In his new
collection of essays, Wayne Curtis voyages back through the
tributaries of his past, throwing a pastoral net over the
backwaters of his childhood to ensnare the sepia-tinged moments of
love, loss, and life lessons he gleaned through his rise to
maturity on the waterways of New Brunswick. As Proust recalled his
past through the delicate taste of a madeleine, so, too, Curtis
ruminates on growing up on the Miramichi, albeit through the more
uniquely Canadian flavour of the home-cooked doughnut. Curtis
writes of the simple pleasures of fishing with friends, of one's
first unforgettable kiss, and of a father who teased his children
that "all dreams that were told before breakfast had a better
chance of becoming real." Of Earthly and River Things is at once a
nostalgic trek through history and elegy for a vanishing culture, a
world where its people were grateful to the river for its bounty.
