Written by Scottish novelist William Black (1841-98), this
biography of the Irish-born poet, dramatist and novelist Oliver
Goldsmith (c.1728-74) was published in 1878 as the sixth book in
the first series of English Men of Letters. Goldsmith is best known
for his novel The Vicar of Wakefield (1766) and the play She Stoops
to Conquer (1771), as well as his close association with Samuel
Johnson, James Boswell, and William Hogarth. The biography is a
colourful one: as Black observes, Goldsmith, who was trained as a
physician but whose whole career was in literature, possessed a
'happy knack of enjoying the present hour', and his pursuit of
pleasure frequently left him in debt. Black himself was one of the
most prolific and popular writers of his day; a collected edition
of his works published 1892-4 ran to twenty-six volumes.
William Black's debut short story collection looks closely at lives
lived in the heart of coal country-now fracking country-in
Northeastern Pennsylvania. Two miners battered by a cave-in try to
wrestle down the river that altered the course of their lives. A
suicide pact leaves a family and its town bewildered and struggling
for words. A fracking crew confronts the vast mysteriousness of
things hidden in the depths of the earth and the lives that take
place on its surface.In these starkly beautiful, incandescent
stories, characters struggle with the grip that their locale and
its past have on them, and they are consumed by searching-for love,
for escape, for brief moments of clarity that give them the courage
to continue.William Black's stories have appeared in The Sun, The
Southern Review, Threepenny Review, Crazyhorse, Prairie Schooner,
the Florida Review, and many other journals and magazines. He lives
in Scranton, Pennsylvania and teaches at Johns Hopkins University.
"Black is at his best as a social realist in a blue-collar milieu."

'Initially I was surprised by just how little time it takes to cook
fish. Sometimes seconds will do, and you seldom need to spend more
than a few minutes when cooking a fillet of fish. Yes, precision is
vital to avoid overcooking, but quite honestly there is no great
mystery to it.' Originally published in 1998 and shortlisted for
the Best Food Book in the 1999 Glenfiddich Food and Drink Awards,
FISH has now been fully updated by Sophie Grigson. In FISH, Sophie
creates accessible modern-day recipes for both the novice and the
experienced cook. From Halibut with Welsh Rarebit Crust and
Maryland Crabcakes, to Greek Octopus and Red Wine Stew and Lobster
Thermidor, there are recipes for all tastes - plus helpful tips on
buying, storing and preparing fish from William Black. This is the
only book you will ever need on fish and fish cookery.
