  • THE

  • HORSE
  • TAVERN

  • the
  • Fraser

  • originality,
  • and
  • humour.
  • The

  • is
  • hilarious,

  • Gazette"Raymond
  • Fraser
  • is
  • one
  • of
  • the
  • most
  • gifted
  • writers
  • I
  • know,
  • and
  • among
  • his
  • gifts
  • are
  • two
  • that
  • are
  • all
  • too
  • rare:
  • a
  • zest
  • for
  • life
  • and
  • a
  • sense
  • of
  • humour.
  • He
  • belongs
  • to
  • the
  • timeless
  • tradition
  • of
  • story
  • tellers."
  • ALDEN
  • NOWLAN"Rattling
  • good
  • yarns
  • without
  • managed
  • thrills
  • and
  • contrived
  • tension,
  • THE
  • BLACK
  • HORSE
  • TAVERN
  • is
  • the
  • reflection
  • of
  • a
  • man
  • who
  • has
  • lived
  • a
  • life
  • far
  • from
  • quiet
  • desperation.
  • Like
  • Fraser's
  • poetry,
  • it
  • is
  • relentless,
  • subtle,
  • disturbing,
  • bearing
  • the
  • stamp
  • of
  • immediately
  • recognizable
  • talent
  • and
  • nifty
  • writing."

  • of
  • the
  • Maritimes
  • in
  • decades."
  • FARLEY
  • MOWAT"A
  • highly
  • original
  • voice
  • that
  • is
  • occasionally
  • sad,
  • sometimes

  • comic.
  • A
  • real
  • pleasure
  • to
  • read."
